practice early in the educational process. In addition, the association provides refreshments during orientation, complimentary coffee and donuts during exams, a graduation award for the student who exhibits outstanding service to the school, a reception for graduates and their families at graduation, and an "After-the-Bar Bash" following the July bar exam. For the alumni, the association publishes a semi-annual newsletter, and sponsors numerous programs including career development seminars, admission workshops for relatives and friends of alumni, class reunion dinner dances and other social and educational events. Westminster Preservation Trust The closing of the Westminster Church, adjacent to the law school, in 1977 represented an important challenge to Maryland: the challenge of restoring and preserving one of its most significant and interesting landmarks. To solve the problem in a creative way, many interested Marylanders, in conjunction with the University of Maryland School of Law, established the Westminster Preservation Trust, Inc. This private, nonprofit corporation brought together individuals who worked toward the preservation and adaptive use of the landmark. The church, which dates from 1852, is the only one of its kind in the United States, built on arches over a graveyard. The graveyard, perhaps most famous as the burial place of Edgar Allan Poe, also contains the tombs of many of the most prominent figures in Maryland history since the Revolutionary War. The restoration was completed in 1983 and the property is now a resource available to the School of Law and to community and cultural groups. The interior space provides a handsome gothic reading room for the adjacent law library in addition to an area for concerts, ceremonial functions, parties and meetings. With careful landscaping, the cemetery was developed into a walled garden, restoring and retaining its historic features. Endowed Lectures and Programs ]udge Simon E. Sobeloff Lectures. Established in 1977, this lecture series honors the memory of Simon E. Sobeloff who for many years served the people of Maryland both in public office and as a private attorney. A graduate of the law school class of 1915, Judge Sobeloff was named by President Eisenhower as Solicitor General of the United States in 1954, and later served the nation as Associate Justice and then Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. The Sobeloff Lecture is held annually in the spring, bringing to the school speakers of national prominence. Gerber Memorial Lectures. The Pearl and Lawrence I. Gerber Memorial Lecture Fund brings to the School of Law lecturers of national prominence in the law. Established in 1978 through a gift by Lloyd M. Gerber, a 1960 graduate of the law school, the lectures are given in memory of Lawrence I. Gerber, whose love of the law was evident through 60 years of private practice, until his death in 1976 at the age of 84. Held each fall, the Gerber Lecture features nationally prominent speakers. Stuart Rome Lectures. The general subject areas included in the series are health care law, the challenges facing the profession of law, and the critique of our existing systems and suggestions for change. The
subject matter reflects the areas of interest of Stuart Rome in whose memory the series was established. Stuart Rome was a prominent member of the Baltimore legal community who gave generously of himself to enhance health care and the arts, as well as the legal profession. The Robert M. Goldman Visiting Scholar Program. The Goldman Program was established by the law firm Frank, Bernstein, Conaway and Goldman in honor of Mr. Goldman, class of 1941. It provides income that gives the law school, as well as the Baltimore legal community, access to new directions and thinking in the law and closely related disciplines, developed by the ablest thinkers in the United States. The Maryland Institute for Continuing Professional Education of Lawyers, Inc. The Maryland Institute for Continuing Professional Education of Lawyers, Inc. (MICPEL) was formed in 1976 as a result of the cooperative effort of the Maryland State Bar Association, the University of Baltimore Law School, the University of Maryland School of Law and the local bar associations, each of which is represented on the Board of Trustees. While MICPEL is an independent entity it was created to be the continuing legal education agent of its founding organizations The institute is located in the new Maryland Bar Center (adjacent to the law school). MICPEL schedules approximately 125 programs a year in various locations around the state and has a publication list of nearly 250 titles. Its programs range from three-hour mini courses to the annual Intensive Nine-Day Trial Advocacy Program which is held each spring at the University of Maryland School of Law. The director is Robert H. Dyer, Jr. Maryland Bar Center The Maryland Bar Center is a pioneering venture in American legal education, which has placed the University of Maryland School of Law at the center of legal education in the state. The newly renovated Poe School now houses the Maryland State Bar Association and The Maryland Institute for Continuing Professional Education of Lawyers, Inc., along with over a dozen lawyers, all of whom have become part of the law school's program. The Bar Center's lawyer tenants work with the Clinical Law Program and practice courses, teach in the classroom and perform in a variety of other roles that engage them in legal education and they provide students models of law practice.
