You are invited to attend Judge Sheila R. Tillerson Adams Retirement Dinner Gala being held on March 30, 2023 at The Hotel of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. This event includes entertainment, a seated dinner and a presentation highlighting Judge Adams’ achievements and dedication to the legal profession. 

As many are aware, Judge Adams was the first African American woman appointed to the bench in Prince George’s County (on the District Court). Following her appointment to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, she was also the first African American woman to serve as Administrative Judge for the Circuit Court and for the Seventh Judicial Circuit. By any objective standard, her career has been historic, and we hope you will join in saluting her phenomenal career.
