| Description | John Webster Hardwicke, a retired Maryland judge who headed a central hearing agency to resolve conflicts between citizens and the state and also served three terms as the Harford County Council president, died Thursday of pulmonary fibrosis at Harford Memorial Hospital. The Darlington resident was 82.
"He was one of the giants in the field of administrative law," said Robert M. Bell, chief judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals. "He was methodical, a man of keen vision and diligent. Maryland's system of administrative law is a monument to him."
In 1990, Gov. William Donald Schaefer named him Maryland's first administrative law judge, in an office created by the legislature. The post, which differs from civil or criminal law, allows individuals to argue a case against a governmental action. Judge Hardwicke headed the unit known as the Office of Administrative Hearings...Legal publications said that by 2002, when his second term expired, Judge Hardwicke was recognized as an authority in his field. |
