PHOTO #1: An unveiling was conducted Friday, October 16, for the portrait of U.S. District Court Judge Robert H. Cleland, Eastern District of Michigan, at the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit. Cleland was appointed a federal judge by President George Bush, and was commissioned on June 19, 1990. He was born in St. Clair, Michigan, spent his youth in Port Huron and received his B.A. from Michigan State University in 1969. He received his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972. From 1972 through 1975, he was in private practice of law in Port Huron with his father. During those years Cleland also served part-time as an assistant prosecuting attorney for St. Clair County. In 1981, having been elevated through the ranks of the prosecuting attorney’s office in the preceding nine years, he was elected prosecuting attorney and was re-elected, without opposition, for two succeeding terms. In that capacity he also represented the county’s civil interests in state and federal courts as the county’s corporation counsel.
