Brian Scott Kleinbord of the Office of the Attorney General
Honorable Michael Joseph McAuliffe of the Montgomery County Circuit Court
Meghan Suzanne Skelton of the Military Commissions Defense Organization

The asterisks denote that Brad McCullough is the only pool candidate, having received a nomination for a prior Court of Special Appeals vacancy within the past two years; pool candidates receive automatic consideration by the Governor. He is a member of the blog’s editorial board and is not participating in our coverage of this vacancy.

The list of nominees now goes to the Governor.
