This is my last article as the Chair of the BABC’s Young Lawyers’ Division, a position I have worked towards for six years. It is a bitter-sweet feeling as I pre-pare to pass on the baton at the end of this month. Although I was (and still will be this month) running around Baltimore like a mad woman from one meeting to the next and one com-mittee event to the next, I have enjoyed bringing to our mem-bership, some of the most meaningful, well organized, and thoughtful events.
Over my seven years of involvement in the YLD, I have found that the YLD continues to plan and execute more and more events every year. That growth culminated with us having more events than ever before this bar year, but I may be biased. I am proud to report the YLD continued to successfully organize the traditional events such as the Breakfasts with the Bench, the networking happy hours, the fall mock trial with Balti-more City public school students, and the annual Holiday Party for Children Living in Shelters at the Maryland Science Center.
Many of the YLD Committees came up with novel programming and event ideas and brought them to life over the year. I was very excited to have enthusiastic lead-ers for the Health & Wellness Committee who organized free (or very inexpensive) active yet enjoyable fitness events through-out the year. We started the year off with ‘Circuit Court to Circuit Training,’ danced the holiday calories away with a Zumba class, did a spin class along with a specially curated Black History Month playlist, and will be ending the year with a yoga class. These types of low-cost fitness events, were a first for the BABC and I hope the committee continues its endeavor to en-courage an active lawyer lifestyle.
Our CLE Committee organized a first-ever after hours spin off of the traditional Breakfast with the Bench morning lecture series featuring a Baltimore judge. ‘Practice Tips on Tap’ was an evening educational discussion featuring a District Court judge in an informal setting where the informa-tion and beer taps flowed freely. We also organized a financial literacy event specif-ically focused on issues relevant to young
lawyers tackling many financial firsts at this stage in their lives. We continued with the ‘How to Survive’ lecture series and hosted a packed house at our District Court Torts session featuring two judges and a medical provider.
The YLD Public Service Committee continued, as always, to outshine every other such committee in the state. In ad-dition to the annual Holiday Party where 150 children living in homeless shelters are transported to a holiday party with Santa, a magician, face painters, arts & crafts, a therapy dog, a hot meal, warm woolen knit hats, and other gifts, the Committee orga-nized a charitable event every month. We prepared and served dinner at Johns Hop-kins Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House and served dinner at Our Daily Bread. The Committee organized volunteers to help at various local non-profits such as the Teacher Supply Swap, The Book Thing, and the Maryland SPCA. The Committee also helped collect gently used professional clothing for Dress for Success and Sharp Dressed Man, and volunteered at the Ha-rambe Center’s Fashion Show to teach Bal-timore City public school students about the importance of dressing professionally.
Our Public Education Committee con-tinued with the annual mock trial program and competition between Highlandtown Elementary Middle School and Francis Scott Key Elementary Middle School. The Committee also matched up attorney vol-unteers with approximately 30 classrooms throughout Baltimore City schools to give a lecture on Law Day. This year’s Law Day theme was “Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society.” So on May 1, the Commit-tee took students from Francis Scott Key and MERVO High School to Morgan State University to see and experience the Civil Rights era ‘Sit-In’ exhibit. The students also heard from University of Maryland Law professor Larry Gibson and Khalilah Harris, Executive Producer at Real News Network.
The YLD Awards Committee submitted names of deserving young lawyers for var-ious local awards throughout the year. We were fortunate enough to have several of our Council members receive awards from The Daily Record in addition to our own three YLD Awards to be given at the 4th Annual Spring Social & Awards Reception.
Young Lawyers’ Division UpdateThank You for a Magnificent Year
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Whether one draws inspiration from Eccle-siastes or from Pete Seeger and the Byrds (or elsewhere entirely), the sentiment is univer-sally accepted, and platitudes abound. Noth-ing is permanent except change, and this too shall pass. Tempus fugit, time marches on, and time and tide wait for no man. And on Broadway, five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes; how does one measure a year? All of these familiar refrains are brought to mind as the end of the Bar year ap-proaches and as I pen my last City Bar Report. I am grateful to the Association and its members for the opportunity to serve this past year.
Soon a new bar president will take the helm of this vibrant Association, full of excitement and energy as new plans and fresh ideas grace the office. The As-sociation is fortunate to have Judge Dana Middleton as its next president, and we look forward to the coming year under her leadership. In the meantime, I am pleased to report that the state of the As-sociation is strong, due to the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm of committee chairs, committee members, my fellow officers, and of course, the indomitable Association staff. While many bar as-sociations elsewhere are struggling as membership rolls are receding; our mem-bership remains strong, thanks in part to the Association’s high caliber of con-tinuing legal education opportunities and the ready camaraderie of a diverse group of practitioners and jurists. Also critical to the Association’s success is the ready commitment of members of the Bar to our system of justice and to the institutions that support it, and that has been evident throughout the Bar year.
As noted in earlier iterations of this column, the independence of the judi-ciary has long been a central tenet of our tripartite democracy, with our modern understanding dating back to the Feder-alist papers and earlier. It is with this in mind that our Association has striven, through good works and education, to promote the fair administration of justice through the independence of the judi-
ciary, to encourage respect for the judi-cial branch of government in all walks of life, and to improve clients’ interactions with the justice system by improving the skills and knowledge of the lawyers who represent them. To name only a few: our Historical Committee hosted well-at-tended seminars on the federal and state constitutions. Our YLD reached out to in-troduce City school children to mock tri-als. Courting Arts again hosts a reception for its finalists inside the courthouse. Our Legislation Committee will provide an overview of legislative changes this year. Our Substantive and Standing committees have hosted Continuing Legal Education programs in myriad areas of law. Senior Legal Services brought legal resources and more than 400 Baltimore City seniors together in one of the most successful Se-nior Law Day fairs to date. Our Pro Bono committees continue to work to improve access to quality legal services for all. All of these incremental steps support com-mon goals: to provide full access for all to a fair and balanced legal system.
We have long taken for granted that a fair and balanced legal system is the common goal for the common good, al-though reasonable minds may differ on the best ways to accomplish that goal. But gradually, our environment has begun to change. In no time in recent memory (or at least in my recent memory) has an executive branch expressed confidence in the presumed outcome of judicial pro-ceedings because the cases would go be-fore “my judges.” Some have suggested that additional time be added to a term of office already underway – a proposition that would require postponing national elections. Our leaders model defiant rejection of sub-poena authority; unthinkable only a decade ago, the political tea leaves now suggest the possibility of constitutional crisis, as co-equal branches descend into a struggle for dominance and relevance. In my parting words as President, I urge all members of the Bar to band together, regardless of ideology, and continue to support the independence of the judiciary and the checks and balances, so adroitly written into our Constitution, that have served us well for over two centuries. This is a moment that calls for leadership beyond partisanship. We are in a defining moment for our institutions, and we the legal profession, as guardians of the public trust in the justice system, must remain vigilant.

Our Membership Committee strived all year to organize free, fun, and engaging monthly events at popular bars around town and en-courage young lawyers to join the BABC. The Committee similarly worked with the two local law schools and the MSBA Young Lawyers to organize networking events. The YLD Mentoring Program matched up approximately 70 mentors and mentees this year. Additionally, the Mentoring Committee also organized two distinct events encourag-ing a natural connection between seasoned lawyers and younger lawyers.
I would be remiss if I did not thank BABC Executive Director Kathy Sanzone, Executive Assistant, Patty DeGuilmi, and
Administrative Assistant, Sabina Mohan for all their support this year. This terrific trio is behind every single program that we bring to our members. Whether it’s drafting and emailing event flyers or coordinating logis-tics with courthouses and other venues, the YLD would not be able to organize as many events as it does without their 24/7 support.
It has been such an exciting and mem-orable year for me. I am grateful to the en-tire YLD Council, the vendors who sponsor our events, the venues who work with our limited budget, and the members who come out to support our events. The BABC and YLD have a remarkable history and I look forward to staying involved for a long and prosperous future.
