  • Ebony M. Thompson – Baltimore's Attorney, Fighting for Her City
    Apr 30 2026

    Episode 5 of Cited Authorities. A Saturday-afternoon conversation with Ebony M. Thompson, Baltimore City Solicitor. She is Baltimore's chief legal officer, and the first woman and first openly gay person to hold the role in the city's nearly 300-year history. We talked about a career that runs from a Baltimore public-school internship to City Hall: economics at Brown, the Marine Corps Reserve, wealth management at UBS in Midtown Manhattan on the morning of September 11, a successful real estate career, law school in her thirties, eight years at Venable, the call from Jim Shea, and the work she now leads as City Solicitor. We also talked about recording more than 228,000 city properties on a blockchain, an eight-year fight with her insurer over IVF coverage, and the friend whose advice at a Harvard graduation prompted her to follow her calling and go to law school.
