Carroll 250: The Maryland Constitution – A Historical View from Carroll County
Exploration CommonsThursday, June 25, 2026 - 6:30pm - 7:30pm

Class registration and more information
In this presentation, historian Joe Getty will discuss Carroll County leaders—David Shriver, John E. Smith, William Pickney Maulsby, Mary B. Shellman, Mary Bryson, and Richard Dixon—who have served in roles significant to the development and amendment of the Maryland Constitution. After the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Maryland was one of the first states to adopt a state constitution. The Maryland Constitutional Convention (the Ninth Provincial Convention) met in Annapolis during the summer and fall of 1776 and completed its work on November 11, 1776. The Maryland Constitution served as a model for other states and, eleven years later, for the delegates to the Constitutional Convention for the United States during the summer of 1787. Subsequent constitutional conventions were held in 1851, 1864, 1867, and 1967, although the proposed constitution in 1967 was rejected by the voters.
About the Presenter
Joseph M. Getty served as Chief Judge, Court of Appeals (now the Supreme Court of Maryland), from September 2021 to April 2022. He was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland in 2016. Prior to his appointment, he served as Chief Legislative Officer for Governor Larry Hogan. He was elected to the Maryland Senate in 2010 and 2014 (District 5, Carroll and Baltimore Counties) and to the Maryland House of Delegates (District 5, Carroll County) in 1994 and 1998. His legislative career includes many committee and workgroup assignments on Maryland legal affairs, including the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee and House Judiciary Committee. From 2003 to 2007, he served in the executive branch as policy director to Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. He is a graduate of Washington College (B.A.), the George Washington University (M.A.), and the University of Maryland School of Law (J.D.). He currently serves as a Senior Justice and sits on appellate cases in the Supreme Court and Appellate Court of Maryland.
