Tobin looks back at 8 years of change at Maryland Carey Law

After eight years as dean of the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, Donald Tobin will step down at the end of this academic year and return to teaching full time. In an interview with The Daily Record, Tobin reflected on his time in leadership at the state’s top law school, starting amid a crisis in legal education after the Great Recession. Tobin also led Maryland Carey Law through the 2015 unrest that followed the death of Freddie Gray, and saw the school through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
