CHANGES ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS

Whereas, in the November 8, 2022 general election, the people of Maryland voted

to amend the Constitution of Maryland to change: (1) the name of the Court of Appeals

of Maryland to the Supreme Court of Maryland and the title of members of that court

from judges to justices; and (2) the name of the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland to

the Appellate Court of Maryland; and

Whereas, on December 14, 2022, Lawrence J. Hogan, Jr., Governor of Maryland,

issued a Proclamation declaring that the constitutional amendment had succeeded and

become effective;

Now, therefore, pursuant to the authority conferred on me as administrative head

of the Judicial Branch by Article IV, § 18 of the Constitution of Maryland, it is this 14th

day of December 2022, effective immediately, ordered:

That all previous administrative orders issued by a Chief Judge of the Court of

Appeals of Maryland that are currently in effect shall remain in effect; and

That, for purposes of application on and following the date of this order:

1. All references in such administrative orders to the Court of Appeals of

Maryland shall mean the Supreme Court of Maryland, and all references to

a judge or judges of that court shall mean a justice or justices of that court;

and

2. All references in such administrative orders to the Court of Special Appeals

shall mean the Appellate Court of Maryland.
