Disbarment
On December 29, 2010, Crossland was disbarred by the Maryland Court of Appeals following a conviction for mail fraud. He is still eligible to serve on the Orphans Court, however, since the only requirements for judges are that they are residents of their jurisdiction for at least 12 months prior to election and are citizens of Maryland.[5][6]
