PALS is an advocacy, networking, and support group for students who care for dependents. We strive to provide a casual forum for parent support, sponsor family-friendly events, help students find resources they need while attending law school, and answer questions they have that are unique to students caring for family. Activities may include:
- Family Game Night
- Networking Lunch
- Trip to Port Discovery, Science Museum, or Art Museum
- Toy Exchange
Other needs we strive to address:
- On-site childcare for UMB-related events
- "It Takes a Village" co-operative study groups

It is equipped with space available for private pump use by any authorized user. Authorized building visitors include students, faculty and staff of University System of Maryland Campuses; attorneys; School of Law alumni; guest speakers; clinic clients; admitted and prospective students; and UMMC and VA staff. Students with valid IDs may bring guests into the library. The second lactation room is available for students only.
