The Federal Bar Association – Eastern District of Michigan Chapter (FBA) hosted its Rakow Awards/Historical Society Luncheon on Thursday, November 17, at the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. The program featured the presentation of the FBA Foundation’s annual Rakow Scholarship Awards to students from each of Michigan’s law schools.

Edward H. Rakow was a visionary who more than 50 years ago recognized the need for a Detroit Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, and volunteered to help organize a chapter.  Those who knew him describe a warm, friendly individual who had many friends in the area and who put an extensive amount of effort into organizing the Chapter.  Within several years, the membership multiplied from a few individuals to several hundred members.

The scholarship recipients were congratulated by faculty of their respective schools.
