Assistant Professor Nicolas Cornell joins Michigan Law School
Nicolas Cornell joined Michigan Law as an assistant professor of law on July 1. He will teach Contracts and Contract Theory during the fall semester. Cornell came to the Law School from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an assistant professor of legal studies and business ethics.
“I’m delighted to be joining the Michigan community, with its commitment to rigorous doctrinal and theoretical scholarship,” Cornell said. “I’m awed by my new colleagues, and I’m excited to be among them.”
Cornell writes about contract law, moral philosophy, remedies, and private law theory. His work seeks to connect issues in normative ethics with questions about the foundations of private law doctrine. His articles have appeared in peer-reviewed philosophy journals, including the Philosophical Review and Philosophy & Public Affairs, and in top law reviews, including the University of Pennsylvania Law Review and the Michigan Law Review.
Cornell previously served as a law clerk to Justice John Dooley of the Vermont Supreme Court. He earned a JD from Harvard Law School, a PhD in philosophy from Harvard University, and an AB in philosophy from Harvard College.
Fraud examiner selected for DYP Vanguard Award
Rehmann Corporate Investigative Services Forensic (CIS) accounting manager Randi Olson has been recognized by the Detroit Young Professionals (DYP) as one of the “best and the brightest” among her peers, and selected for a 2017 Vanguard Award.
The DYP is a nonprofit organization that strives to help young professionals and entrepreneurs in metro Detroit grow professionally while giving back to the community. Olson will be honored Oct. 25 at the “Leading with Intention” awards event, among 15 other emerging leaders who are creating a positive impact in Detroit.
Olson is particularly proud of DYP’s Vanguard Award because it recognizes her work as a fraud-pursuing forensic accountant, as well as her commitment to serving the community.
“Civic engagement is important to me because it allows me the opportunity be a part of something much bigger than myself,” said Olson. “I am passionate about the work I do, and use these opportunities to inspire others.”
In addition to her role at Rehmann, Olson is a Hazel Park Auxiliary police officer, volunteer firefighter with the Troy Fire Department, Sterling Heights Chamber of Commerce #Yo-Pro’s Steering Committee member, Troy Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Committee member, and member of the Detroit LGBT Chamber of Commerce. She is also an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the world’s largest anti-fraud organization.
