ANNAPOLIS – Gov. Martin O’Malley swore in Judge Sally Adkins to the Court of Appeals Wednesday, Maryland’s highest court. Also attending the ceremony were state House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Annapolis), Comptroller Peter Franchot (D-Takoma Park) and state's Attorney Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville). Kratovil is currently running for congress in MD-1.
Gov. O’Malley praised Adkins. “I know that you will carry the high standards with you that you established at the Court of Special Appeals, and take that to the Court of Appeals,” he said.
After being sworn in, Adkins expressed her gratitude. “This is a rather awesome responsibility that I’m asked to undertake,” she said. Adkins also thanked those who had supported her over the years. “It takes a village to appoint a judge,” she joked.
Frank Kratovil praised the governor’s decision to appoint Adkins to Maryland’s highest court. “She’s an excellent decision, obviously she’s had a great background,” he told PolitickerMD.com, adding: “She’ll do a wonderful job.”
