(ANNAPOLIS, MD–June 3, 2002)  Chief Judge James N. Vaughan of the District Court of Maryland, with the approval of Court of Appeals Chief Judge Robert M. Bell,  has named Judge Alexandra N.

“Judge Williams brings strong leadership and integrity to the role of Administrative Judge,” said Chief Judge Vaughan in announcing his decision.  “I look forward to working with her in her new capacity.”  He also praised the late Judge McCampbell for his many years of dedicated service to the Judiciary. 

Since joining the District Court, Judge Williams has been an active participant in its administration, serving on the Judicial Education Committee, the Committee on Criminal and Motor Vehicle Matters, and the Commissioner Education Committee.  Prior to joining the bench, she was Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore County from 1981-94, and served as Chief of its District Court Division from 1991-94.  She holds a J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law.
