MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 15

SPECIAL APPEALS, BY REASON OF RESIDENCE IN ANNE
ARUNDEL COUNTY DURING HIS TERM OF OFFICE, DOES NOT
ABANDON HIS LEGAL RESIDENCE IN THE APPELLATE JUDICIAL
CIRCUIT FROM WHICH HE HAS APPOINTED OR ELECTED UNLESS
HE REGISTERS TO VOTE IN ANY ELECTION IN ANNE ARUNDEL
COUNTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is Art. 26, §24,
changed slightly in style. In addition,
§1-204 removes a vague reference to "the
vicinity of the City of Annapolis" and
instead uses a reference to residence in
Anne Arundel County in general. It is not
clear just what is meant by "vicinity" and
current means of transportation and highway
networks suggest that the broader term is
appropriate for today's world.

SUBTITLE 3. COURT OF APPEALS.
SEC. 1-301. COURT OF APPEALS.

THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND, ESTABLISHED BY
ARTICLE IV, §§ 1 AND 14 OF THE CONSTITUTION, IS THE
HIGHEST COURT OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Most of the statutory provisions
dealing with the Court of Appeals appear in
Title 12. Sec. 1-301 is little more than a
hook upon which to hang cross—references.

Since the statutory provisions regarding
rule-making appear as §1-201, Art. 16, §99
is proposed for repeal. It is unnecessary
in any event, in view of the grant of
rule—making power contained in Art. IV,
§18A of the Constitution.

Constitutional provisions dealing with the
Court of Appeals include the following
sections of Art. IV: 1 (court established) ;
2 (qualifications of judges); 4 (removal);
4B (removal); 5 (appointment); 6
(conservator of peace; no fees); 7
(disqualification); 9 (appointment of
officers); 11-12 (elections); 14
(composition of court, appellate circuits;
terms; chief judge; retirement; quorum,
etc.); 15 (disqualification, opinions); 16
(reports of decisions); 17 (clerk); 18 &
18A (rules, etc.); and 41E (designation of
