With my final column in the City Bar Report as Chair of the YLD, I would like to first thank all of my col-leagues and friends in the Bar Associa-tion of Baltimore City for your support and encouragement throughout the year. Although ac-tivities have been cut short by tragic circumstances, I am proud of what we were able to ac-complish this year. I could not have done it without you and I am excited for the day when we can get back to hav-ing fun, serving the community, and building up the profession together.

I tried, and I dare say succeeded in, managing the YLD my way. My goal this year was to encourage and sup-port a talented team of young lawyers, while making incremental gains to an already extremely well run organiza-tion. Before being derailed, we were on track to put on all the events that members of the BABC know, love and expect. In addition, we were able to roll out some new events. The Fam-ily Friendly Initiative was active and very well received by the moms, dads and kids that attended its events. Our public service and educational events were well attended, informative and meaningful. Not everything was a booming success, but everything was well thought out, organized, and led by dedicated and capable committee chairs and members. I have no doubt that the YLD will be ready to thrive under the leadership of incoming Chair Lauren Lake (more on her later) when things get back to a semblance of normalcy.

Unfortunately, as you know, things will not be back to normal in the Bar

Association for at least the rest of this bar year. But while we cannot all be together right now, we can all give together. I encourage everyone to consider participating in the Lawyers Month of Giving by making a tax-de-ductible contribution to the Baltimore Bar Foundation during the month of May. The money raised will be split between the Bar Foundation (for grants) and a donation to benefit the GEDCO Cares program (a Baltimore City based charity identified by BABC leadership). This is a great way to act in solidarity to support the Baltimore Community that we love so much during this time of crisis. To donate, go to www.baltimorebar.org/do-nate.

Until we meet again I wish you all the best of health and happiness.

YLD Member SpotlightLauren Lake, Gordon Feinblatt

LLC. Lauren is a litigator at Gordon Feinblatt and the incoming Chair of the YLD. Lauren is an extremely mo-tivated person that provides dedica-tion and value to everything she takes on. As Chair-Elect Lauren has stepped up to assist and provide guidance to a number of Committees and helped them to put on successful events. Lau-ren is thoughtful and incredibly thor-ough, which has been a wonderful complement to my management style. I have benefitted greatly from having Lauren on board as Chair-Elect.

Lauren’s firm bio page contains a quote from William Shakespeare – “This above all: to thine own self be true.” I have no doubt that Lauren will exemplify that quote in the coming year and that the YLD will be all the better for it. The YLD is in great hands with Lauren and I earnestly look for-ward to seeing her take over as Chair.

The Hon. Dana Middleton

Joseph Pulver

Unlike past articles, I want to use this valuable space to thank each and every member of the Bar Association of Baltimore City for their encouragement and hard work. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Kathy Sanzone, Patty DeGuilmi, and Sabina Mohan. They are the backbone of this orga-nization and we could not have done anything without the benefit of their collective wisdom and support. This year, I set out to expand BABC’s contribution to community justice through programming directed to in-creasing access to justice. In doing so, we were able to provide legal assistance to underserved and underrepresented populations. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, we did not accomplish all that we set out to do in a traditional manner. However, BABC has risen to the challenge and adapted to these dif-ficult times. I could not be more proud.

Prior to the stay-at-home order is-sued by Governor Larry Hogan to pre-vent the spread of COVID-19, BABC hosted several annual programs that were well attended. Before the days of social distancing, we came together for the End of Summer Members’ Re-ception, Annual Crab Feast, Senior Legal Services Cabaret and Cabernet, National Adoption Day, the Past Pres-ident’s Luncheon, and the Supreme Court Group Admission. I applaud every committee who contributed to the professional growth of the legal pro-fession and to the community through continuing legal education, panel dis-cussions, and outreach. Together, you hosted several in person programs including Professional Ethics, Canna-bis in Maryland, New Protocols in the Family, Juvenile, Criminal, and Civil Divisions, Protective Orders, and New Standards for Mediators. Additionally, several committees have overcome the hurdles of social distancing and began hosting webinars. For example, the Business Litigation and Criminal Law Committees both hosted very well attended programs. The Criminal Law committee co-chaired by Erik Atas and LaZette Ringgold-Kirksey hosted an ex-pungement webinar attended by over 150 lawyers statewide, while Michael March, Chair of the Business Litigation Committee partnered with MVLS to host “You Should CARE(S): Tax, Grant & Loan Implications of the CARES Act for Businesses”.

In addition to serving the legal com-munity through CLEs and outreach, you represented BABC by letting your voices be heard. Erin Thompson, chair of the BABC’s Legislation Committee,

Kelly Iverson-Hughes (immediate Past President), and Darren Kadish (Presi-dent Elect) testified before the House Ways and Means Committee in opposi-tion to HB1628.

I would also like to acknowledge the BABC Historical Committee, chaired by Ms. Elva Tillman. This committee de-veloped several special programs and initiatives, that will have an impact on the legal community for years to come. With the help of committee members such as Hon. William Dunn, they raised over $35,000.00 for improvements to the Museum of Baltimore Legal His-tory in the Clarence Mitchell Court-house. Its contribution led to several museum upgrades, including videos and the gold signage on the front of the museum. Additionally, Hon. Lynn Stew-art Mays facilitated the Black History Month program, “Race, Gender, and Law,” co-sponsored with the Alliance of Black Women Attorneys of Maryland, The Monumental City Bar Association, and the Library Company of the Balti-more Bar. In honor of Woman’s History Month, Diane Bristow hosted Elaine Weiss, as she presented on the topic of “Pathways to Leadership for Women-the 19th Amendment”. The Committee also planned a panel discussion featuring women who served as President of the Bar Association of Baltimore City, and hope this program will continue. It should also be noted that the Historical Committee earned the “Best Service to the Bar” award from the Maryland State Bar Association, for its great work.

We have accomplished a lot at BABC, but we are not done yet! Hope-fully, you have seen the “Lawyers Month of Giving Campaign,” and will support this joint fundraising effort between BABC, the Baltimore Bar Foundation, and Young Lawyers’ Division. Instead of purchasing a ticket to the Annual Meet-ing, we are asking for a charitable dona-tion to the Bar Foundation. The money raised will be split 50/50 between the foundation and GEDCO Cares program. The Cares program provides valuable resources to families and individuals in crisis including food and emergency financial assistance. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to com-plete some of our access to justice pro-grams. However, this is our opportunity to go beyond the courthouse to support the Bar Foundation and to support the citizens of Baltimore through these dif-ficult times.

Finally, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Thank you for your support, and for al-lowing me to serve as your President. Be safe!!

residents, BABC is partnering with the Bar Foundation and the Young Lawyers’ Division for a “Lawyers Month of Giving” campaign. Instead of asking members of BABC to purchase tickets for the Annual Meeting, we are asking for a charitable donation to the Bar Foundation. The money raised will be split 50/50 between the Baltimore Bar Foundation for its grants program and a donation to benefit the Govans Ecumenical Homes Development Corporation (GEDCO) Cares program, an independent, interfaith, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization offering a plethora of services including emergency food programs, financial assistance, career counseling, and permanent housing for homeless men and women. To learn more about GEDCO CARES, go to www.gedco.org/what-we-do/community-ser-vices/. Tickets to the annual meeting would have been $75 ($65 for young lawyers and student members). However, we ask that you contribute whatever amount you are able to at this time. No amount is too small or too large. To donate, go to www.baltimorebar.org/donate. Make sure to designate your gift to the Lawyers Month of Giving. Thank you for your support and we hope that you and yours are well and safe!

ANNAPOLIS — Activists and an as-sociation that represents local govern-ments say they plan to push lawmakers to limit the circumstances under which courts can declare the state has super-seding authority that local governments

cannot usurp.The proposal on the doctrine of

“preemption” highlights a conflict be-tween local and state governments that has at times bubbled into state courts. Some rulings have come down against local governments, citing implied pre-emption, finding that the state already has a broad interest in an issue or has legislated or regulated so much that local governments are effectively shut out.

“When we come to Annapolis, we

need to balance the need to think as a state legislator and what’s good for the state with the fact that it sometimes may not be best for our local community,” said Del. Karen Lewis Young, D-Freder-ick. “What works well in Ocean City or the western part of the state may not make sense for Frederick.”

Young is the lead sponsor of a house bill she said would eliminate the im-plied state preemption over local laws. Instead, it would require the legislature

The family of a 16-year-old student killed  in a school shooting in 2018 filed suit against the St. Mary’s County Board of Education last week, alleging the school failed to protect her.

Jaelynn Willey was shot on March 20, 2018, by Austin Rollins, who later killed himself, at Great Mills High School. Willey had been in a relation-ship with Rollins that had recently ended, and her parents allege Rollins’ actions were foreseeable and prevent-able. Willey was hospitalized and died two days later.

Melissa and Daniel Willey filed suit in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt on Friday alleging federal civil rights vi-olations — failure to protect Jaelynn while she was in the school’s custody, creating or worsening a dangerous sit-uation, and making arbitrary or con-science-shocking actions leading to a violation of Jaelynn’s rights — as well as negligence, premises liability and wrongful death.

“Not only did Great Mills fail to pro-tect Jaelynn Willey in any way, Great Mills High School made informed de-cisions and took steps which actively increased the danger to her and cre-ated new dangers Jaelynn had (no) ability to abate,” the lawsuit alleges. “Instead of creating this danger, Great

ANNAPOLIS — A Maryland bill forming the structure for a $372.9 mil-lion plan to keep the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore and transform Laurel Park into a year-round horse racing facility is on pace to drop in a matter of weeks. Some key lawmakers, however, are still working out how to ensure a revamped Pimlico Race Course, and roughly 50 acres of private development surround-ing the track, benefits residents.

The city’s lead negotiator William “Bill” Cole, a former delegate, city councilman and Baltimore Develop-ment Corp. president, said he hopes legislation setting a foundation for the projects is introduced into the Mary-land General Assembly in about two weeks. Some legislators from the 41st District have discussed pursuing items, such as community benefits require-ments, he said, but the deal’s scaffold-ing is paramount.

“Without the framework estab-lished, nothing moves forward,” Cole

said.Mike Johansen, lobbyist for the

Maryland Jockey Club, in a statement, said track owner The Stronach Group, Maryland Jockey Club, Baltimore and the Maryland Thoroughbred Horse-men’s Association negotiated “an effi-cient, affordable and practical concept” that keeps Preakness at Pimlico and allows for year-round racing at Laurel Park.

“The plan will protect jobs through-out the state as well as preserve
