Moss & Colella PC recently announced that attorney A. Vince Colella’s Scholarship Fund for Civil Rights has been awarded to Olivia Rondeau, a law student at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
Olivia Rondeau was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, and is pursuing a Dual JD Degree at the University of Detroit Mercy and the University of Windsor. Rondeau has gained valuable legal experience through her work with the Federal Pro Se Clinic, Pro Bono Students Canada, and an externship with the Conviction Integrity Unit at the Michigan Attorney General’s Office. With a deep passion for civil rights and access to justice, Rondeau is dedicated to “using her legal education to empower individuals and drive meaningful changes in marginalized communities.”
A. Vince Colella created the scholarship to give law students an opportunity to pursue a career in Civil Rights litigation, but more importantly, to be passionate about the clients they serve and focus on helping those in need. Colella’s trial experience includes automobile negligence, police brutality and misconduct, premises liability, sexual assault, construction and trucking accidents, insurance disputes, sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death. Colella has gained a reputation in recent years, particularly for his litigation efforts in gross negligence and civil rights cases.
“Establishing the scholarship rekindled my interest in the mission of the University of Detroit Mercy as a whole, and I’m pleased to represent the law school on this University-wide alumni board,” Colella said.
