PHOTO #1: On Wednesday, Aug. 31, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus conducted its Professionalism in Action orientation for first-year law students.  Oakland Country Circuit Court Judge Jeffery Matis (far right) administered the WMU-Cooley Honor Code to the students and spoke about ethical boundaries with clients.

PHOTO #2: The Professionalism in Action 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 Aug. 31 program were (front row, left to right) WMU-Cooley Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka, Ashley Slaght, Alan Gershel, Lt. Col. John Wojcik, Oakland County 52-3 District Court Judge Lisa L. Asadoorian, Jennifer Grieco, and Genesee County Circuit Court Joseph J. Farah; along with (back row, left to right) Jeffrey May, Oakland County Circuit Court Judges James Alexander and Jeffery Matis, Edwar Zeineh, retired Judge Jack Gilbreath, Keela Gracey, and Matthew Weaver.
