Professors Christopher Brown and Mark GrabberThe Washington Times, and two more newspapers - Three of the seven judges who make up Maryland's highest court will reach mandatory retirement age during the next governor's term, producing an unusually high turnover rate and giving whomever is elected in November a rare opportunity to mold the court. "What's at stake really is that the next governor will very much get to set the political tone of the Court of Appeals' makeup," said Christopher Brown, JD, an associate professor at the School of Law, who has compiled statistics on the judges' votes to determine who is liberal or conservative. Despite the potentially high stakes, the makeup of the Court of Appeals is not likely to become a campaign issue, said Mark Graber, PhD, JD, professor at the School of Law.

Professors William Reynolds and Mark Graber`The Daily Record – Three of the seven judges who make up Maryland's highest court will reach mandatory retirement age during the next governor's term, producing an unusually high turnover rate and giving whomever is elected in November a rare opportunity to mold the court. William Reynolds, JD, professor at the School of Law, said that in areas such as the death penalty and products liability, where the courts are still hammering out what state law says, so many changes to the Court of Appeals could leave lawyers struggling to advise their clients on the right course of action. Mark Graber, PhD, JD, professor at the School of Law, said that interest groups will certainly be lobbying behind the scenes to influence the governor's choice.
