In this workshop judges will learn about key developments that have come out of the work of the Equal Justice Committee’s Access and Fairness Subcommittee and the Court Access Committee including: i) innovations to expand the Judiciary talent pool to include persons with disabilities; ii) tools and tips for responding to accessibility issues in the courtroom; and iii) resources to help you meet the needs of persons with limited English.

This session will explore those best practices in addressing differences in the courtroom, in both criminal and civil cases, and among parties in line with the goals of resolution 401. Learn how to interact with transgender, non-binary and gender-expansive court users in accordance with the Judicial Rules of Conduct so as to avoid misgendering people of all genders by using gender-inclusive language. Topics to be covered will include issues related to criminal defendants, sentencing, jail system, and other subtle and not-so-subtle issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community. Learn about best practices from other jurisdictions, what resources are available when considering sentencing options, and the impact on the individual sentenced. Come to the program to share your best practices or suggestions. One goal of this program is to take your best practices and help us create a bench card for the entire Maryland Judiciary.

Alexander Cummings Award for Outstanding Appellate Advocacy, Office of Attorney General, 2016. Influential Marylander, Daily Record, 2020. DIANA G. MOTZ was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit by President William Jefferson Clinton on June 16, 1994. She was the first Maryland woman appointed to that court, and only the second woman in the court’s 150-year history. She assumed senior status on September 30, 2022. Diana Motz received a B.A. from Vassar College and a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School, where she served on the law review and the moot court board. She was one of two women in her 250-person law school class. Immediately after admission to the bar, Motz practiced law in Baltimore with the law firm now known as DLA Piper; she was the only woman lawyer at the firm. Upon the birth of her first child, she left private practice to become an assistant attorney general and ultimately Chief of Litigation in the Office of the Attorney General of Maryland. Motz has argued many cases before the state and federal courts. Among those cases, was one defending the constitutionality of a Maryland statute in the Supreme Court of the United States, one seeking to remove a tax break from a golf club that refused to admit women members, and one defending the 1980 state redistricting plan. Perhaps her most well-known case was Maryland’s civil suit against Spiro Agnew. On behalf of the State, she and other lawyers recovered from him the thousands of dollars in bribes that he had received while Governor of the State. In 1991, Governor WilliamDonald Schaefer appointed Judge Motz to the Court of Special Appeals. She was the third woman to serve on a Maryland appellate court and the first lawyer in private practice (rather than a trial judge) that Governor Schaefer appointed to an appellate court. She continued service on the state court until her appointment, three years later, to the federal appellate court. In her years as a state and federal judge, Judge Motz has faced a number of difficult constitutional questions. Early in her service on the federal court, she dissented when her colleagues held that, even though a university refused to admit women, it could obtain substantial government monetary aid without violating the Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States reversed, expressly noting its agreement with Judge Motz’ reasoning. Later in her career, Judge Motz wrote a number of opinions involving the rights of enemy combatants; although those cases ultimately became moot, the Supreme Court’s preliminary rulings indicated agreement with her views. Most recently, Judge Motz issued two opinions rejecting constitutional challenges to President Obama’s health care legislation; the Supreme Court is now considering those issues. Diana Motz has served on the Advisory Committee of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and as a trustee of the Johns Hopkins University, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Berman Bioethics Institute. She is a member of the American Law Institute, the American Bar Association, the American Bar Foundation, the Maryland Bar Association, and the Maryland Bar Foundation. The Girl Scouts of Central Maryland has honored her with the Distinguished Woman Award and the Women’s Bar Association has honored her with the Rita C. Davidson Award. HONORABLE DIANA G. MOTZ (S r .)
