Committee on Complex Litigation

Maryland Rule 16-308 was adopted by the Supreme Court of Maryland to establish a business and technology case management program to enable each circuit court to handle business and technology matters in a coordinated, efficient, and responsive manner and to afford convenient access to lawyers and litigants in business and technology matters.

The Maryland Business and Technology Case Management Program (BTCMP) is governed by the Committee on Complex Litigation under the Conference of Circuit Judges.  The Committee’s charge includes all complex litigation, except asbestos, with the initial focus on business and technology litigation. 

The Committee meets throughout the year to oversee the BTMCP and recommend changes for the BTCMP to the Conference of Circuit Judges. 

The 2023-2024 term appointments are:

Hon. Lawrence Fletcher-Hill, Circuit Court, Baltimore City, Chair
Hon. Kathleen L. Beckstead, Circuit Court, Wicomico County
