The partnership between the state of Maryland and the Leningrad Oblast began in 1996. Since that time, a number of delegations have been entertained in Maryland and seminars and other educational activities have been held in Russia.
These projects have involved all aspects of the legal and judicial system, including basic criminal procedure, jury trials, plea bargaining, pre-trial release, court administration, business entities, real property law, land use, tax administration, anti-monopoly law and procedure, arbitration and mediation, relationships among various entities within the criminal justice system, Federal-State-local relationships in law enforcement and environmental and natural resource protection, Legislative-Executive relationships, legislative drafting, environmental protection of port areas, and government support for small and medium size business.
In 2003, a formal relationship was established between the Leningrad Regional State University Law Faculty and the University of Baltimore Law School, looking to a range of contacts, including faculty and student exchanges and correspondence.
