马里兰大学法学院介绍：
The University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law is one of the oldest law schools in the United States, and its innovative programs make it one of the liveliest and most dynamic law schools today. We offer three degree programs: Juris Doctor (J.D.), Master of Laws (LL.M.) and Master of Science in Law (M.S.L.). Our curriculum includes over 200 courses in: Alternative Dispute Resolution; Business, Tax & Commercial Law; Criminal Law; Constitutional Law; Crisis Management; Cybersecurity; Environmental Law; Health Law; International & Comparative Law; Intellectual Property, Information, and Technology. The University of Maryland, Baltimore campus is located near courts, government agencies, restaurants, theaters and other entertainment venues, including the well-known Inner Harbor area. The campus includes the schools of law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and dentistry. A campus shuttle and free city bus make it easy to get to other Baltimore neighborhoods.
Baltimore’s proximity to other major east coast cities is another plus. Students can easily travel by train to Washington, DC (40 minutes); Wilmington (40 minutes); Philadelphia (1 hour); or New York City (2.5 hours). Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is less than 10 miles from the law school building and is accessible by light rail. It is, for many, the preferred airport in the Washington, DC, area. The University of Maryland Carey School of Law is an integral part of the Baltimore–Washington legal and business community.
