University of Baltimore School of Law, or UB Law, is one of the three colleges that make up the University of Baltimore, which is part of the University System of Maryland. UB Law is one of only two law schools in the state of Maryland, the other law school being the University of Maryland School of Law; both of which are located in downtown Baltimore. The University of Baltimore School of Law is the sixth largest public law school in the country. Its enrollment has increased by 20 percent since the current building was constructed in 1982, and faculty and staff have more than doubled, reflecting the changing nature of legal education. UB law is located on the University of Baltimore's main campus in the Mt. Vernon cultural district.The University of Baltimore is constructing a new building for the School of Law—the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center. The facility, which began construction in August 2010 on a UB-owned parcel at the intersection of Charles Street and Mt. Royal Avenue and projected to open in early 2013, will be a transformative building for the UB campus and an architectural landmark for central Baltimore. It will receive both public and private support.

“In a democracy—even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-élitist one—the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
