Judge James Schneider of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland will present the Judge Solomon Liss Memorial Lecture on Thursday, April 12. His topic is "A University of Baltimore Time Capsule from the Past 40 Years."
Schneider, a 1972 graduate of the School of Law, will speak beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Venable Baetjer Howard Moot Court Room in the School of Law, 1415 Maryland Ave. This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, however, and reservations are encouraged. (See details below.)
Schneider's talk will examine how the educational experience at the University of Baltimore has changed over the years. Schneider received his undergraduate degree in history and was a member of the first day class to graduate from the University of Baltimore School of Law. He has maintained close relations with the University since then and serves as a witness to the school's history and growth. The talk promises fascinating insights into the character of this Baltimore institution and its place in the life of the city.
The lecture is made possible by a generous endowment from the family of Judge Solomon Liss, J.D. '37, a former Baltimore City Council member, chairman of the Public Service Commission of Maryland, Maryland Court of Special Appeals judge and chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission.
Previous speakers in the Judge Solomon Liss Memorial Lecture Series have included judge Leon A. Higginbotham, former judge and White House counsel Abner Mikva, Federal Trade Commission chair Robert Puitofsky, and Stuart E. Eizenstat, former deputy secretary of the U.S. Treasury during the Clinton administration.
