WASHINGTON
Kurt L. Schmoke, a Harvard-trained lawyer who served three terms as mayor of Baltimore, has been named dean of the Howard University School of Law.
Howard President H. Patrick Swygert announced the appointment of Schmoke, who was the first African American elected mayor of Baltimore, at a news conference last month. Schmoke, 52, will take over as head of the nation’s best-known historically Black law school Jan. 1.
