JUDGE MICHAEL WARING LEE '78

The

University of

Maryland

School of

Law lost a

great friend

and valued colleague with

the death of Michael Waring

Lee, class of 1978, the Chief

Justice of the Baltimore

Orphans Court.

Judge Lee's great uncle,

Everett Waring, was the first

African-American admitted

to the Maryland bar.

Following in that tradition ,

Judge Lee became the first

African-American to head a

court in Maryland. His work

on that court stressed adher­

ence to proper procedure

and professionalization of

the court.

As a student, Mike Lee

was co-chair of the Moot

Court Board. After gradua­

tion, Judge Lee took that

interest and ability to new

levels. For almost a decade

he has been the driving

force in Maryland's first year

introduction to appellate

advocacy program, drawing

on his many friends among

teachers, alumni and other

judges and attorneys to sit

on panels to train the stu­

dents. His class was known

for his meticulous attention

to each phase of both brief

writing and oral argument.

Judge Lee was a loyal

alumnus of all of the institu­

tions that he attended, and

he was always willing to give

of his time to support their

programs and to help young

students. We will miss him

greatly.
