About
The MLAW: Undergraduate Programs in Law offered at College Park is one of MPower’s first and now longest continuing collaborative education programs between UMCP and UMB. Launched in 2014 in response to a pressing need for pre-law programming at UMCP, MLAW gives students early exposure to ideas, mentors, and professional opportunities in law not normally available to undergraduates, and includes a Justice and Legal Thought Program (JLT) and a Law and Society minor (LSM).
To date, MLAW Programs has provided legal studies’ programming to 1,612 students, averaging 75 new students each fall in each of its two programs, for 150 new students annually.
Faculty from the UMCP College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Francis King Carey School of Law, including the Dean, Renée Hutchins Laurent, JD, pictured above, teach a variety of subjects such as immigration and crime, global environmental law, health law, and structural racism and housing.
