Cooley Law School student Toren Chenault (center) has been awarded the 2025 Ralph M. Freeman Law School Scholarship by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The honor, which includes a $1,000 award, was presented during a formal ceremony held at the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit. Members of the federal bench congratulated Chenault including (left to right) Judges Jonathan J.C. Grey, Nancy G. Edmunds, Paul D. Borman, Laurie J. Michelson, Denise Page Hood, and Stephen J. Murphy III. Established in memory of the late U.S. District Judge Ralph M. Freeman and his wife, Emmalyn, the scholarship recognizes outstanding third-year Michigan law students who have demonstrated excellence in school competitions or significant contributions to Moot Court, Mock Trial, Alternative Dispute Resolution, or similar programs. Freeman was appointed to the federal bench in 1954 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and served the Eastern District of Michigan with distinction for more than three decades. He was chief judge from 1967 to 1972 and continued to serve the court in senior status until his passing in 1990.
