Fills Vacancies on the Circuit Court for Worcester County, Including First Woman Appointed in Court’s History
“After a careful and thorough vetting process, I am confident that Mary Kent and Beau Oglesby are the most qualified candidates to fill these vacancies,” said Governor Hogan. “Their dedication to the practice of law and history of involvement in the Worcester community will serve them well in these new positions.”
Mary Kent has served as a domestic relations and juvenile causes magistrate for the First Judicial Circuit since 1996. She began her law career in 1980, working as a staff attorney for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Magistrate Kent then moved on to work in private practice for Paul C. Ewell, P.A., before founding her own practice in 1991. Ms. Kent received her J.D. from the University of Richmond School of Law and her B.A. from the University of Richmond.
Beau Oglesby has served as the State’s Attorney for Worcester County since 2011. Prior to his current position, he served as Deputy State’s Attorney for Caroline County and was a prosecutor for Dorchester and Wicomico counties. Mr. Oglesby was an associate attorney in private practice for both Rowe Weinstein and Sohn (formerly Wescott Rowe, LLP), and Fulton P. Jeffers, P.A. In 1995, he served as a law clerk in the Circuit Court for Wicomico County for Judges Alfred T. Truitt, D. William Simpson and Richard D. Warren. Mr. Oglesby received his J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law and his B.A. from Salisbury State University (now Salisbury University).
1 good pick.
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my. What do we have here?
ReplyDeleteGreat selections - Mary Kent is a wonderful person and is highly experienced and Beau Oglesby will make a fine, fair and stern Judge.
ReplyDeleteAwesome choice with Mary Kent. She will be a great honest and fair judge. Oglesby on the other hand is not only unethical and dishonest, he will need a map to find his way to the courtroom. Oh and a step stool!!! Wonder if he will wear a little judge badge too!!!
ReplyDeleteIf they have to stand for election next year, there will probably be some challengers, especially for Oglesby.
ReplyDeletePeggy Kent deserves this appointment. Oglesby must have kissed Hogan's ass to get his appointment. It is surprising Oglesby even wanted this position since he hates being in a courtroom because he cannot think quick on his feet and now he will be accountable. He wont be able to disappear 3 days out of a 5 day work week like he has since being in the State's Attorney's office. No one knew where he was including his own staff!! Good-bye to his County SUV with the police package too!!! I wonder if he knows he has to pay for his own gas now???? I guess he will be looking for a little boys robe left over from Halloween!
