January 23, 2021
The University of Baltimore School of Law's Law in Focus webinar series will continue on Jan. 27, with a panel discussion entitled "Structural Racism and Transportation Policy: The Road Ahead."

Panelists include UB Law alumnus Henry Greenidge, J.D. '10, a Fellow-In-Residence at the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research; Ajmel Quereshi, senior counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and director of the Civil Rights Clinic at Howard University School of Law; and Seema Iyer, director of the Real Estate and Economic Development program in UB's Merrick School of Business and associate director for the Jacob France Institute, the University's economic research center. Moderating the discussion will be Audrey McFarlane, Associate Dean of Faculty Research & Development and Dean Julius Isaacson Professor of Law at the School of Law.
