Law School's Michele Gilman Receives Regents' Faculty Award for Public Service

• 

  Michele Gilman, professor in the University of Baltimore School of Law, has been named a recipient of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents' 2010 Faculty Awards. Gilman received the honor during the board's April 16 meeting at University of Maryland University College.

   

  The Regents Faculty Awards are the highest honor presented by the board to exemplary faculty members. Presented in five categories, the awards recognize excellence in teaching; scholarship, research or creative activities; public service; mentoring; and collaboration. Each award carries a $1,000 prize provided by the institutions and the University System of Maryland Foundation.

   

  Gilman "has a long history of public service, championing the rights of individuals who would not normally have access to legal representation," the board said in an announcement on the USM Web site. "Both as director of the UB Civil Advocacy Clinic and through personal work with the ACLU's Tenant and Foreclosure Workgroup, Professor Gilman's work has addressed landlord-tenant issues, housing discrimination, and domestic violence."
