Celebrating leaders committed to justice and public service

The University of Baltimore School of Law prepares lawyers not only to practice law but to lead. That mission was reflected in Maryland's June primary elections, in which 16 UBalt Law alumni running for public office found success and will move forward to the general election in November. Nine alumni will move forward in pursuit of circuit court judgeships, while seven will advance in races for state and local government offices—continuing the law school's proud tradition of graduates who leverage their legal education to serve their communities and strengthen the rule of law.
