Maryland’s women lawyers are about to publish their history. It’s taken nearly a decade to get what they call the “Finding Justice Project” this far, and that’s what the book to be published next month will be titled, “Finding Justice: The History of Women Lawyers in Maryland.” The driving force behind the project is Lynne Battaglia, who has served on the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, since 2001. Sheilah visited her in her chambers in Annapolis to ask her about the project and the book she edited.
On Monday, there will be a celebration and book signing at 6 p.m. at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is guest of honor.
