Legal community talks professionalism with students

On Wednesday, Aug. 27, Thomas M. Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus hosted a State Bar of Michigan Professionalism in Action Orientation for the fall freshman class. 

The orientation premiered at the school in May 2009 under then State Bar of Michigan President Edward H. Pappas.

Numerous judges and lawyers from metropolitan Detroit gave up their afternoons to meet in pairs with small groups of six to eight students each to discuss real-life ethics and professionalism issues that the students may confront as lawyers.

Among those participating in the program were (front row, left to right) Jacquelyn Halushka, Frank Eaman, Wayne County 36th District Court Judge Katherine Hansen, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Annette Berry, Cooley Auburn Hills campus Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka, and Aaron Burrell; in addition to (middle row, left to right) Keela Gracey, Lt. Colonel John Wojick, Oakland County 50th District Court Chief Judge Cynthia Walker, Susan Paletz, Regina Daniels Thomas, Wayne County Circuit Court Chief Judge Ed Ewell, Tom Ryan, Rob Morad, and retired Judge John Gilbreath; along with (back row, left to right) Abe Barlaskar, Jeff Matis, Jeff May, Reginald Turner, and Tom Rombach.
