University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law

Panelist, The Effect of Recent Changes to Landlord Tenant Law on Tenants in a Courtroom

Matilda Smith joined the Maryland Carey School of Law in 2022 as a staff attorney in the Clinical Law Program. Since 2023 she co-teaches the Eviction Prevention Clinic with Professor Daniel Rosenberg. Before joining the Law School, Ms. Smith worked for the Maryland Judiciary's Access to Justice Office where she produced legal resources for the public such as the information videos that play on the televisions in Maryland Courts. She started her career at Maryland Legal Aid's "District Court Self Help Resources Centers," which has since grown into the Maryland Center for Legal Assistance. In that role she conducted advising sessions for pro se litigations on so many legal topics that listing them here would exceed the character limit of her biography. When she's not educating law students and frustrating landlords, Ms. Smith enjoys live music, petting cats, and grand strategy PC gaming.
