ABO UT U S Having served two terms as the elected State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County, Maryland, Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. recognized the importance of social justice issues concerning education, justice, ethical leadership, and civic responsibility. During his nearly twenty-year tenure as an Article III Judge on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Judge Williams witnessed the ways in which mandatory minimum sentencing has contributed to mass incarceration and racial disparities in the criminal justice system. In an effort to address this and similar injustices within our legal, social, and political institutions, Judge Williams retired from his appointment and founded The Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. Center for Education, Justice & Ethics in 2013.

After entering into a partnership with the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2016, the Judge AW Center was (re)established under the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences within the Department of African American Studies.

The Center strives to address social inequalities resulting from histories of discrimination, injustice, and the disparate impact of educational, legal, and social policies that further exacerbate gaps in opportunities and outcomes among vulnerable populations in Maryland, the United States, and throughout the world.

The Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. Center for Education, Justice & Ethics at the University of Maryland, College Park, develops comprehensive solutions to prevailing ethical questions and systemic challenges posed by growing structural inequities that increase societal disparities.

Such challenges disproportionately impact historically disadvantaged and marginalized communities—denying the civil rights and human dignity of those most vulnerable in ways that threaten to rend the very fabric of our democracy.

Through our signature programs, strategic initiatives, applied research projects, and advocacy for ethical public policy reforms, the Judge AW Center strives to advance social justice. As critically engaged thought leaders, we are dedicated to addressing the ethical dilemmas that confront our communities, our state, our country, and future generations throughout the world.

Latino Education Advancement Fund “Parent Involvement is a crucial factor in academic success. Latino parents need more than translated documents, they need to be coached to plan a successful academic path for their children”

Our programs serve as a launching point for active, ongoing, year-round engagement in a supportive parent community, deepening understanding and connections with schools. LEAF delivers workshops, conferences, and training for families, as well as academic coaching, and individual academic counseling for students.
