Additionally, a Circuit Court hears juvenile cases, appeals from the District Court (either based on the record of the District Court trial, or all over again- "de novo"), and appeals from the Orphans' Court and other administrative agencies.
Thus, it would be illogical, indeed some might say foolish, to have a Circuit Court Judge that had never been lead counsel in a jury trial, never tried a serious criminal case, never tried a complex civil case, never tried a contested divorce, and never handled a custody or visitation matter.
In Maryland, unlike the relatively shorter terms for a Governor or Mayor, a Circuit Court Judge is elected to stand for 15 years. Why would ANY county want less than a full range of experience in all of the case types that the Circuit Court hears?
I can't think of a good reason either.
We are hiring a person, an individual, to handle some of the most important issues in Wicomico County. Let us make sure we hire the best, most qualified, experienced person we can. So much is riding on our selection.
Vote for M.J. Caldwell

Joe, an excellent post.
Why would we hire anyone for a job they had NO experience for?
And are we willing to make a 15 year mistake?
Ohhhh, that would be no.
MJ is the right choice.
Ditto that. Successful experience in court proceedings says it all.
MJ it is.
My guess is it would be helpful to have been through the experience to know what the heck is going on.
I wouldn't pay good money for a professional that had never done what I'd hired them to do.
15 years is a long time to live with a mistake. I just can't see taking such a big chance on something so important to my community.
MJ seems like he's been there and done that.
He's got my vote.
10:57 WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA TWICE?
MJ has my vote
