The Appellate Courts Judicial Nominating Commission was initiated by the Governor in 1970 and began functioning in 1971 as the Governor's Judicial Commission on Appellate Judicial Selection (Executive Order, July 6, 1970). In 1991, the Commission was reformed as the Appellate Judicial Nominating Commission (Executive Order 01.01.1991.05). It was reorganized further in April 2007 as the Appellate Courts Judicial Nominating Commission (Executive Order 01.01.2007.08).

Candidates for justices of the Supreme Court of Maryland and judges of the Appellate Court of Maryland are nominated by the Commission.

The Commission is composed of seventeen members appointed by the Governor, who chooses the Chair (Executive Order 01.01.2023.04). Five of these members are nominated by the Maryland State Bar Association.
