The county circuit courts are grouped into eight judicial circuits. The Circuit Court for Prince George’s County shares the Seventh Judicial Circuit with the Circuit Courts for Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties.
Since in 1970, each Maryland governor has established Judicial Nominating Commissions to review the qualifications of judicial applicants.
To serve a growing County population of about 750,000 residents in an increasingly complex society, these judges are assisted by 7 full-time magistrates in the Family Division, 15 retired judges recalled for part-time service, and about 100 employees.
Each Maryland county and Baltimore City has a circuit court--the general jurisdiction trial court.
