Mrs.

Maryland, having acquired her Bachelor of
Science degree with High Honors from the
College of Business and Management, where
her major was in Personnel Management and
Labor Relations. Mrs. Angle
continued her education at the University of
Maryland School of Law and received her Juris
Doctor degree in June, 1978, and was admitted
to the Maryland Bar that same year.
Early in
her career she relocated to Missouri, where
she was admitted to the Missouri Bar. Upon her admittance,
she accepted a position as Assistant Attorney General for
the State of Missouri from 1979 to 1981. While at that
office Mrs. Angle initially worked in the Criminal Division,
where her responsibilities required legal research, appellate
brief writing, and oral argument before the Missouri Court
of Appeals. After a few months, Mrs. Angle was assigned
as Legal Counsel to the Missouri Department of Mental Health,
including the state mental health and mental retardation facilities
under its administration. She was the primary advisor
to the Division of Comprehensive Psychiatric Services and
Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, including but not limited
to programs pertaining to Involuntary Civil Detention, Forensic
Services, and Patient Rights. Some of her responsibilities
included representation of department administrative and treatment
personnel in civil actions filed in state and federal courts,
representation of administrative officers at Personnel Advisory
Board hearings, review of union grievances and personnel complaints,
preparation of employment contracts, and preparation and review
of internal operating regulations. She
was also responsible for legal research and appellate
brief writing, oral arguments before the Missouri
Court of Appeals, and rendering legal advice
to state prosecutors.
Upon her
return to Maryland, she accepted a position
as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Baltimore County, where
she represented the State in criminal cases. As a prosecutor,
she worked on a number of felony murder cases, some of which
were litigated as jury trials. Following her five-year
career as a criminal prosecutor, she opened a private practice
in the rural town of Westminster, Maryland, where she specialized
in criminal defense and child custody issues. She was
also appointed as Examiner in Chancery and Court Assistant
Auditor for the Circuit Court of Carroll County. In
this position she presided over evidentiary proceedings
held in aid of execution of judgment. |
