Maryland Governor Wes Moore has appointed Brown, Goldstein & Levy partner Chelsea Crawford to the Baltimore City Trial Court Judicial Nominating Commission, where she will advise Governor Moore and recommend appointments to Baltimore City Circuit and District courts. Chelsea was appointed to the Baltimore City Commission alongside 12 other leading Baltimore attorneys.
The Trial Court Judicial Nomination Commissions, of which there are 16 statewide, were established by executive order to advertise judicial vacancies, seek recommendations for judicial candidates, and evaluate applicants, among other important duties. The executive order recognizes the “paramount importance” of appointing “highly qualified persons with a demonstrated commitment to the impartial administration of justice to the judiciary,” as well as the appointment of individuals from a diversity of backgrounds.
Chelsea previously served alongside a prestigious group of Maryland lawyers and businesspeople on Attorney General Anthony Brown’s Transition Team, where she sat on the Steering Committee and co-led the Public Safety Policy Team. In her role, Chelsea advised Brown as he developed a vision and established priorities ahead of his term, which began in early 2023.
