District of Maryland workload may rise
June 22, 2009
Maryland: With one current vacancy, the workload on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland is already at an average of 250 cases apiece per year. With the nomination from President Obama of Justice Andre Davis to the Fourth Circuit, that caseload may become heavier.
"It is an extremely busy court, and the judges carry heavy workloads, so my hope is that filling the vacancies is a high priority," said former federal prosecutor Steve Levin, now in private practice in Baltimore.[1]
