Twelve graduates of the University of Baltimore School of Law are among the Daily Record's 2017 Leadership in Law honorees. According to the newspaper, "Leadership in Law recognizes Maryland's legal professionals—lawyers and judges—whose dedication to their occupation and to their communities is outstanding."
Winners are selected by an outside panel of legal and business leaders, the newspaper said. A select few also are honored as up-and-coming lawyers through the Generation JD award, while those with long-time careers are recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The group was feted during a celebration held on May 11 at the BWI Hilton.
