A judge on Maryland’s highest appellate court has announced plans to retire and join a Baltimore law firm, Liz F. Kay reports.
Judge Joseph F. Murphy Jr. has served on the Court of Appeals since 2007, after spending 14 years as a Court of Special Appeals judge, including 11 years as its chief judge.
Murphy, 67, also spent nine years as a Baltimore County Circuit Court judge.
His main focus will be to establish an alternative dispute resolution center for the firm of Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White, where his daughter is an appellate laywer. He will privately mediate state and federal litigation on the trial or appellate level, said managing partner Steven D. Silverman, but "ethically he feels it would be improper for him to appear before state court judges," Silverman said.
Murphy will represent clients in federal courts, however.
"Judge Murphy embodies Maryland’s legal system," said Shaun Adamec, a spokesman for O’Malley. "It’s not as though he can be easily replaced."
