Patrick J. Duggan, a U.S. District Court judge since 1987, will be saluted at a retirement reception on Friday, Sept. 25 at the Theodore Levin Courthouse in downtown Detroit.
The event is scheduled from 2-4 p.m. in Room 115.
Duggan, a former Wayne County Circuit Court judge, plans to retire from the federal bench at the end of September following a 56-year career in the law.
A 1955 graduate of Xavier University, Duggan earned his law degree from the University of Detroit in 1958.
He practiced law in Livonia from 1959-76 before being appointed to the Wayne County bench in 1976 by then-Gov. William Milliken.
Duggan served 10 years as a Wayne County judge. He’s a past president of the Livonia Bar Association, the Michigan Jaycees and the American Inn of Court at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
