Who is Georgia Goslee, Esquire?
LEGAL
Georgia Goslee, a graduate of University of Maryland School of Law, is a member of the Maryland Bar. Early in her legal career as a partner in a Baltimore law firm, Georgia distinguished herself as a trial lawyer. She subsequently served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (criminal division), Attorney-Advisor to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and Chief Contracts' Compliance Officer to the City Solicitor of Baltimore City.
Georgia has been granted special admission (pro hac vice) to litigate in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia and Florida. During that time, she represented clients in a wide variety of criminal cases and civil trials. Most notable among these was an intellectual property case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida representing Fitness Institute International. This case held special significance to Georgia because she graduated from the institution that later became her client. After her graduation from Fitness Institute International in 1996, a feat she considers to be a major accomplishment in her life, she began her European sabbatical and served as a visiting law professor teaching International Business Law in Geneva, Switzerland.
BROADCAST JOURNALISM
Currently, Georgia appears regularly as a legal commentator on national talk-shows including: the former "Abrams Report" on MSNBC, "Catherine Crier" on Court TV, "The Lineup" hosted by Kimberly Guilfoyle, "The Big Story", "Hannity and Colmes" on Fox News Live, "The Big Idea" with Donnie Deutch on CNBC, “Star Jones Show”, “Nancy Grace”, "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Live, "Tucker Carlson" on MSNBC, CNN and the "Armstrong Williams" Radio Show where she provides legal commentary on high profile legal issues in the news. Most recently she provided legal commentary on Fox News regarding the Madoff and Blagojevich scandals in January 2009.
Georgia's media experience makes her well suited to debate on national television. She is a former broadcast journalist who appeared as a television commentator for more than thirteen years. During that time, Georgia was a regular panelist on "Square-Off', a Saturday night news and political talk-show which aired on WJZ- TV 13 (then an ABC affiliate) in Baltimore, Maryland.
She also co-hosted a Public Affairs television talk-show for four years called "Sunday Live" and was featured on a diet workshop series, which also aired on WJZ- TV 13. She served as a legal commentator appearing on the Montel Williams Show during the O.J. Simpson criminal trial and on the nationally syndicated television show, Toni Brown's Journal.
POLITICAL
In 1982, Georgia made history in Maryland when she became a candidate for judge on the Circuit Court for Baltimore City (then the Supreme Bench). This was the first time a woman made an independent bid for a judicial seat in the history of the state. Despite her significant primary victory city-wide, she lost the general election by a margin of only 900 votes. Three years later, the first African-American female judge in Maryland, Mabel Houze Hubbard, was appointed to the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
HEALTH & FITNESS
Georgia is a Certified Health & Fitness Instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Georgia received her fitness training at Fitness Institute International in Boca Raton, Florida and maintains her certified status with the fulfillment of continuing education requirements. Upon graduation in 1996, Georgia became a personal trainer at Eden Roc Spa in Miami, Florida, at Premier Fitness in Hallandale, Florida, and lectured on Sports Medicine for ASCM while residing in London, England. She returned to Maryland in 1998, and became a personal trainer at Bethesda Sport and Health Club in Bethesda, Maryland.
AUTHOR
As a writer and lecturer in the field of health and fitness, Georgia's legal articles have been published in Personal Fitness Professional magazines in 2008 and she lectures on the Legal Aspects of Personal Training.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
In 2001, Georgia became a Registered Lobbyist in the State of Maryland. Lobbying before the Maryland General Assembly, she successfully represented a number of trade associations, businesses and non-profit organizations in legal, legislative and executive matters.

TGR: MD Poli10: One Week Until the DC/MD Primary:
Let’s go to Baltimore County – particularly the NW. That would be Woodlawn, Randallstown, Owings Mills, and Pikesville. For the County Exec race, BMORENEWS is of the belief that the Joe Bartenfelder camp philosophy is simply more genuine than that of Kevin Kamenetz. The people we’ve interviewed on the ground in NW Baltimore County have told us repeatedly that Kamenetz didn’t do anything memorable for blacks when his district included the black part of the county, i.e. Liberty Road.
While his radio commercials do the name-dropping maneuver featuring prominent voices from the black community pretty well, we’re simply not buying it. We need more than some election-time attention over the airwaves of Radio One and Heaven 600. Those in the know in NW Baltimore County have told us that they would prefer a down-to-earth Bartenfelder over the charismatic Kamenetz. And this is not because Councilman Bartenfelder sells collard greens on Sundays at The Farmers’ Market (I’ve yet to try them).
He just doesn’t appear to be a man who says something he doesn’t mean. In politics, as with most everything else, character defines an individual.
Further, we have yet to figure out why certain politicos in NW Baltimore County endorsed Kamenetz so early in the process. Typically, endorsements come out in the latter part of the game after some negotiations, agreements, and promises have been made – in good faith.

Two Weeks Out from MD Primary …:
What’s sure to be exciting is any series of debates that are likely to occur. Personally, I’d like to hear some discussion of business opportunities for minorities, ie black folks. I’d also like to hear some good news on the funding of our public schools. And if I had to choose a third priority, it would be health care. Del. Dan Morhaim, M.D. was recently on The Huckabee TV Show and did a stellar job explaining some of the key elements of “ObamaCare”. While we have covered Pres. Barack Obama’s intentions to address major health issues specifically regarding the African American community, I’d simply like to hear more about helping to reduce medical costs to Marylanders – including the cost of prescriptions.
Locally, three races have captivated my imagination this election season: The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office; the Baltimore County Exec; and the 4th Councilmanic District.
With 15 years under her belt, Baltimore City State’s Attorney Pat Jessamy faces opposition from Defense Attorney Greg Bernstein. Last week, Bernstein’s campaign came under fire for what many, including University of Baltimore Law Professor Larry Gibson, thought was a tasteless piece of negative advertising; one of his ads featured the Dawson Family in East Baltimore where a clip of the Dawson tragedy was used without the family’s permission.
