Gov. Martin O'Malley appointed the General Assembly's long-time counsel, Robert A. Zarnoch, to the Court of Special Appeals yesterday. Mr. Zarnoch has provided legal and constitutional advice to lawmakers since 1979.
From the O'Malley press release:
"Bob Zarnoch's knowledge of Maryland law and legislative history is unsurpassed in the State," said Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller. "Over the years, his counsel has been invaluable to the legislature, and I am confident that he will serve the State with similar distinction as a judge," said Speaker of the House of Delegates Michael E. Busch.
Mr. O'Malley also appointed Judge Alexander Wright Jr. to fill a second vacancy on the Court of Special Appeals.
