AG?Dana Nessel receives LACASA?Changemaker Award
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel was presented with LACASA’s Changemaker Award during her visit to the agency Wednesday.
“I greatly appreciate this recognition and accept it on behalf of the entire team of hardworking individuals at the Department of Attorney General who share my passion for fighting on behalf of survivors of abuse,” Nessel said. “Too often survivors experience feelings of shame and isolation, but I’m here to remind them that we believe you, you are not alone, and we will fight to secure justice for you.”
Throughout Nessel’s term, she has aggressively pursued the clergy abuse investigation and launched the Boy Scouts of America investigation.
Nessel made the visit to LACASA to commemorate Denim Day, which is an international day to raise awareness around sexual assault and combat victim blaming.
This week is Crime Victims' Rights Week and the final week of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Nessel began the week by emphasizing the important work being done to protect crime victims and hold their perpetrators accountable at the Department of Attorney General.
Wednesday evening, she attended the Crime Victims’ Rights Vigil hosted at the Capitol.
Webinar to look at ‘Emerging Research on Legislative Oversight’ May 25
The Levin Center at Wayne Law will offer a webinar on “‘Oversight Overlooked’ Again? Emerging Research on Legislative Oversight” Wednesday, May 25, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Congress’s oversight function is essential for the healthy functioning of the constitutional system. Yet, despite the importance of oversight, many questions arise in popular discourse about legislative efforts to examine important societal problems.
This webinar offers a conversation with Levin Center Oversight Fellows on the issue. The discussion will highlight new research on when, how, and why Congress conducts oversight. Speaking at the webinar will be Devin Judge-Lord, postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University; Claire Leavitt, visiting assistant professor at Grinnell College; and Kenneth Lowande, assistant professor at University of Michigan.
