Thomas M. Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus recently hosted an opening ceremony to mark the start of its month-long College Pre-law Summer Institute (CPSI). Keynote speaker Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Patricia P. Fresard (front row, center), the first Hispanic woman to serve on that court, encouraged the students to take advantage and make the most of the institute. A partnership of Cooley Law School, Oakland University, Kaplan Test Prep Services and the American Bar Association’s Council of Legal Education Opportunity (CLEO), the CPSI offers students an opportunity to study the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed on the Law School Admission Test and in law school. The program’s purpose is to help diversify America’s next generation of lawyers through expanding legal education opportunities to students of color, low income students, and otherwise disadvantaged students. The program was scheduled through the month of June and offered to students free of cost. The opening reception was sponsored by the Oakland County Bar Association along with the Association of Corporate Counsel of Michigan; Collins, Einhorn, Farrell, and Ulanoff; Detroit Metropolitan Bar Association; Honigman; Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer, and Weiss; Miller Canfield; Plunkett Cooney; the State Bar of Michigan Health Law, Law Practice Management and Young Lawyers Sections; and Warner, Norcross, and Judd.
