Alumni Spotlight: Q&A With James Pollock, J.D. '11
UBalt Law alumni put their legal education to work in meaningful ways. Class of 2011 graduate, James Pollock, shares how hands-on learning translates into practice-ready advocacy.
You can only learn how to grapple with being a lawyer when you're actually experiencing it, when you're sitting in front of a client and they are looking you in the eye and relying on you to help them and improve their lives.
A first-generation lawyer, Jaime Lee, professor of law for The University of Baltimore, enjoys making an impact in her classrooms and community, through scholarship and clinical work.
It’s already put me in position to be prepared for what I'm going to be doing in the future. I just feel like it was what I needed.
Over the 2025-26 academic year, The University of Baltimore had 269 student employees, serving as peer tutors, customer service agents, administrative assistants and lab support, to name a few. The roles vary but there’s one constant: student employment opportunities benefit everyone on campus.
I really have been able to learn more than if I were, for example, in a class of 200 some students. I feel like I'm getting more out of my education being here.
Danica Nelson was a nontraditional student in a nontraditional school.
She came to The University of Baltimore at 17. At UBalt, with its average undergraduate age of 31, she was in classrooms unlike anything she could have imagined. It didn’t take long, though, for Danica to find her community.
