Catherine McGuire, Deputy Director of the Maryland Thurgood Marshall State Law Library in Annapolis, has been named a 2023 recipient of the William L. Marbury Outstanding Advocate Award by the Maryland Legal Services Corporation (MLSC). The award is “presented to someone who is not an attorney and has demonstrated outstanding services representing the civil legal needs of low-income Marylanders or expanding access to justice.” As many of you know, Catherine has been providing assistance to the self-represented for over two decades. For more than five years, she has collaborated with the Maryland Access to Justice Commission and the Conference of Maryland Court Law Library Directors to promote Frontlines, a program that has trained more than 1,200 Maryland public library staff in basic legal research and referral. The 2023 Awards Reception will be held on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023, at the historic Westminster Hall in Baltimore. Congratulations, Catherine!
