Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals
June 27, 2016 by Kevin Dayhoff
Joseph Getty was sworn in Monday morning in the House of
Delegates chamber in the Maryland State House in Annapolis to represent the 3rd
Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court.
Getty, a Manchester resident and former Republican state
senator representing Carroll County, had most recently served as Republican
Gov. Larry Hogan's chief legislative officer. He was appointed to the Maryland
Court of Appeals on June 1 to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge
Lynne Battaglia.
Friends, family, former and current judges, and members of
the General Assembly filled the legislative chamber to witness Hogan administer
the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to
sit on the Court of Appeals since 1867.
Many speakers at the ceremony mentioned that Getty also made
history by having served in all three branches of Maryland government — the
legislative, executive branches and now the judiciary. It was a point not
missed by local historian, Jay Graybeal, the former executive director of the
Historical Society of Carroll County; a position also held by Getty from 1987
to 1994.
