Asbestos has been very, very good to Peter Angelos, the Baltimore plaintiffs lawyer who’s made a fortune representing shipyard workers injured by asbestos exposure. He’s already bought himself a baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, and now he’s sharing the wealth with his law school alma mater, the University of Baltimore. Angelos’s $5 million donation — the biggest in the school’s history — will help fund the expansion of the university’s law school, according to an announcement this morning.

Angelos already has a building at the law school named after his parents, John and Frances. That building will make way for a new John and Frances Angelos Law Center on the law school’s new campus, the university said.
