judicial reception

Last year, over 50 Maryland circuit, appellate, and federal district court judges attended the LCDO’s Judicial Appreciation Reception. Students interested in judicial internships and clerkships met and mingled with judges, and many of them made connections that led to jobs. You can do the same! Please join the LCDO as we honor and give thanks to the Maryland Judiciary for their support of UB Law students and alumni. Beer, wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
