New Baltimore City Judges
Governor Martin O'Malley has nominated two new judges to serve in Baltimore City.
Lawrence P. Fletcher-Hill was a partner at Baltimore law firm Gordon Feinblatt. Prior to that he served as Chief of Litigation in the Maryland Attorney General's office under former Attorney General (and gubernatorial father-in-law) Joseph Curran. He will be taking the seat on the Circuit Court for Baltimore City that was vacated by the retirement of the Hon. Carol Smith.
Gregory Sampson has been nominated to fill the seat on the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City that because available due to the retirement of the Hon. Charlotte Cooksey. Prior to his appointment, he served as a Juvenile and Family Master for the Circuit Court for Baltimore City since 1990.
I don't know much about either of these two new judges. It doesn't seem like either has any particular experience in personal injury litigation. Of course, it still remains to be seen what kind of cases these two new judges will be hearing. I wish them both luck in their new positions.
