Justification

The Maryland Court system consists of three levels of courts that include the appellate, circuit court, and district courts. Montgomery County is in the 7th appellate circuit and has one Court of Appeals judge and now three Court of Special Appeals judges that reside at the courthouse. This will be the first time that a fourth appellate judge will be housed in Montgomery County.

When the Circuit Court recently replaced its case management system, that left space in a former server room available to accommodate staff that will be displaced by the new judge's chamber. In order to make the server room usable for office use, the current Halon fire suppression system will need to be replaced with a sprinkler system. The Halon system releases a gas that suffocates fires but could be dangerous to employees if they were to work in that environment.
