In observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, Jan. 15, the Black Law Students Association at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus has organized an Equal Access to Justice Day program featuring the presentation “Learning to See Clearly: The Presence and Power of Implicit Bias.” The featured speaker will be Dr. Agustin V. Arbulu, executive director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
Before joining the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, Arbulu held senior management and leadership positions in the manufacturing, healthcare and nonprofit sectors. He also served 15 years as a practicing attorney specializing in corporate, business and tax law. Arbulu has taught graduate-level courses on organizational leadership, change management, finance and strategy. In January 2013, Arbulu was appointed to the Michigan Civil Rights Commission by Gov. Rick Snyder. He held the office of secretary until he was named department director in October 2015.
Equal Access to Justice Day, as initiated by WMU-Cooley President and Dean Don LeDuc, suspends classes in observance of MLK Day. Students, faculty and staff devote the day to reflect and attend programs on the role of law and lawyers in protecting the right of everyone and assuring equal access to justice.
Programs begin at 10 a.m. in Room AH 145 at WMU-Cooley’s Auburn Hills campus, 2630 Featherstone Rd. This event is free and open to the public. Those interested in attending may register by emailing tempah1@cooley.edu.
