On Nov. 14, Cooley alumni and faculty gathered at the Country Club of Lansing for an event, An Evening of Good Taste, which featured wine tasting, a silent auction and raffle prizes to benefit the Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund, which is supported by alumni contributions, provides tuition assistance to Cooley students with financial need.
The 24-inch by 36-inch oil on canvas painting of Polly Brennan will be on display at the Thomas E. Brennan Law Library at Cooley's Lansing campus, near a portrait of Thomas E. Brennan. The portrait of Mrs. Brennan was painted by Michigan artist Brian Kirschensteiner, a graduate of Michigan State University and the owner of the Cherrystone Studio in Ovid, Michigan.

Five Ukrainian Prosecutors participating in the Open World program visited the Prosecuting Attorney's Association of Michigan in Lansing on November 19th. After welcoming the group to Lansing, Tom Robertson, CEO and Executive Secretary of the Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council, explained the services provided to the 83 prosecutor's offices in Michigan.
The Ukrainian prosecutors were most interested in certain areas of our system. They asked questions about the funding of continuing legal education for Michigan prosecutors, the goals of the organization and precedent. They also wanted to learn about the use of witnesses and evidence in trials, punishment for offenders, the adversarial process, and the coordination of legal agencies in fighting corruption and organized crime in the U.S.
