When voters consider their ballots in the general election, they’ll face five questions that would change the Maryland Constitution. Question 1: Renaming the state’s appeals courts- Maryland’s two appeals courts are confusingly named: The Court of Special Appeals is the lower court, and the Court of Appeals is the state’s highest court. This constitutional amendment, if approved, would rename the courts as the “Appellate Court of Maryland” and the “Supreme Court of Maryland.” If the name change goes through, the judges on the state’s highest court would also see their titles changed to “justice” or “chief justice.”
