Created by Chapter 717, Acts of 1980, the
Judicial Compensation Commission studies and
makes recommendations on all aspects of judicial
compensation so as to ensure that judicial compen-
sation is adequate to attract highly qualified per-
sons to the bench and to enable judges to continue
to serve there without unreasonable economic
hardship.

The Commission reviews judicial salaries and
pensions every two years, and at least every four
years the Commission must submit its recommen-
dations to the Governor and General Assembly.
Salary recommendations made by the Commission
are introduced as a joint resolution in each house
of the General Assembly not later than the fif-
teenth day of the session after they have been
received. While the General Assembly may not
amend the joint resolution to increase the recom-
mended salaries, it may amend to decrease those
salaries. If it fails to adopt or amend the joint
resolution within fifty days after its introduction,
the salaries recommended by the Commission shall
apply. Commission recommendations with respect
to pensions are introduced by the presiding officers
of the Senate and the House of Delegates in the
form of legislation, and become effective only if
passed by both houses.

The Commission consists of seven members
appointed by the Governor for six-year terms. No
more than three members may be individuals
admitted to practice law in the State. In nominat-
ing and appointing members, special consideration
is given to individuals who have a knowledge of

five nominees submitted by the Speaker of the

The Juvenile Probationary School of Baltimore
County was created by Chapter 719, Acts of 1966.
It was established for persons under twenty-one
years of age who are placed on probation before
verdict in connection with any charge for State
motor vehicle laws or State or local criminal law
violations over which the District Courts have
jurisdiction. Minors are referred to the School by
the District Court or other judicial officers of
Baltimore County. The School includes courses in
driver safety, civic responsibility, America and its
heritage, and the present and future ramifications
of violating State laws for the individual and the
community. All probationers must attend classes,
which are held in the District Court rooms.

The School is headed by a Director and five
Assistant Directors, each of whom is appointed by
the Governor by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate for four-year terms (Code 1957, Art.
