Judge of the Court of Appeals
The Court of Appeals is composed of seven judges, one from each of
the seven Appellate Judicial Circuits. After initial appointment by
the Governor and confirmation by the Senate, members of the Court
run for office on their records without opposition. If the voters
reject the retention in office of a judge, or the vote is tied, the
office becomes vacant. Otherwise, the incumbent judge is retained in
office for a ten-year term. The 5th Appellate Judicial Circuit
includes Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles & St. Mary's counties.
