HEADLINE: District Judge Schulte to Resign 

BYLINE: Veronica T. Jennings, Washington Post Staff Writer 

BODY: 
District Court Judge Diane G. Schulte has announced her resignation from the bench, effective July 5.
Schulte, 42, submitted her resignation March 8 to Gov. William Donald Schaefer, citing family and personal reasons. In an interview this week, Schulte, who in 1980 was one of the youngest jurists appointed to the District Court, said she plans to return to private practice, specializing in criminal law in Howard County.  
"As an only child, I have family responsibilities I need to attend to," said Schulte, adding that she wants to spend more time with her aging parents. And after eight years as a judge, Schulte, a former assistant county solicitor, said she wants to tackle new challenges.
"I don't feel as energetic and excited as when I first came on the bench," said Schulte, who described herself as a "roll-up-the-sleeves activist judge."
"This is a people's court," Schulte said. "You deal more directly with the human condition. You can take time to help people."
Schulte's impending resignation has generated interest among lawyers in the county, especially young ones who consider the post a stepping stone to judgeships on the circuit court or state appellate courts.
Jerome S. Colt, president of the county's Bar Association, said that as many as a dozen local lawyers may apply for the vacancy. Applications are expected to be filed after an official notice of the vacancy is published by the state Administrative Office of the Courts, he said.
But already, talk around the courthouses and among lawyers points to several likely candidates. William Hymes, the state's attorney in Howard, said in an interview that he is interested in the post. Other lawyers also speculated that Carol Robertson, the county's public defender, and Andrew Raum, master of domestic relations in circuit court, would apply for the position. All three applied for the circuit court judgeship recently filled by Cornelius F. Sybert.
Colt said the county Bar Association will review the applicants and send its recommendations to the state Judicial Nominating Commission. The commission will forward three to five names to Schaefer, who must make his appointment from the list.
District Court judges are appointed for 10-year terms, subject to Senate confirmation. They do not stand for election.
