Judge Joseph F. Murphy Jr will be retiring from the Maryland Court of Appeals this August. Murphy has been a judge on the state's highest court since 2007.

I found this nomination very fascinating, because you'd have thought O'Malley would want someone that would stay on the court for an extended period of time.

I wonder who O'Malley will nominate to replace him? I'm assuming he'll pick an appellate judge at this point.

I know it's a common last name, but do you have any idea if the current Judge Murphy is related to the late Judge Robert C. Murphy?
