A Fulbright Scholar for European Union Affairs in 2003, Dr. White focused on the EU's efforts to harmonize member nations' hostile takeover laws.

Her numerous presentations include the AALS, the American Bar Association (ABA), Law and Society, the American Economics Association, the International Society for Law and Mental Health, and lectures at various law schools, economics departments and legal institutions, both domestically and internationally, in the U.S., Europe and China. She served as associate editor of the ABA's Antitrust Law Journal and is on a number of ABA Business Law Section committees.
A member of the Maryland Bar, Dr. White is the university liaison for the Business Law Section of the Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA). She serves on the Business Litigation Committee, which co-wrote with the Maryland House Speaker, the legislative proposal that established the new Maryland Business and Technology Court. The committee's work was awarded the 2001 MSBA President's Best Section Project Award.
Dr. White co-developed with the MSBA Business Law Executive Council the MSBA-UB Business Law Clerkship program, of which she is now the director, which gives selected law students the opportunity to work with prominent business lawyers on developing policy and proposing legislation. The Clerkship Program, approved by the MSBA in 2007, is the first of its kind to be offered by the MSBA.
Dr White is a senior fellow at the Center for International and Comparative Law. She is active in the Center for Applied Feminism and its annual conferences, and a faculty fellow at the Center for Children, Family and the Courts. In 2008, she was the on-site director and taught in the University of Baltimore's Haifa University Summer Institute Program in Israel.
Dr. White was the faculty advisor for the Baltimore Law Forum from Fall 2003 through Spring 2011, when she oversaw the Law Forum's transformation from a magazine format to a full-fledged law journal, now listed in all the major databases. The Law Forum's articles have been cited by the Supreme Court as well as major law reviews and they have garnered the attention of national news programs such as "60 Minutes and "Dateline."
Dr. White presented a paper, "Affirmative Action for the Age of Obama: New Insights from a 10-Year Study" at Yale Law School's Conference on Empirical Legal Studies in November 2010. The work concerns her comprehensive empirical study evaluating the successes of a particular law school affirmative action program.
