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.
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.
