Summer Cookout
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law’s Association of Black Law Alumni (ABLA) hosted the 5th Annual ABLA Summer Cookout on Saturday, August 9, in the student parking lot at the law school. Detroit Mercy Law alumni, current students, and friends of ABLA enjoyed an afternoon of tasty grilled treats, great conversations, music, games, and more. Among those taking part in the food, fellowship, and fun were (left to right) Kimberly Batchelor Davis, assistant director for Alumni Relations; Larry Dobbs; Coriann McMillen, Neighborhood Defender Services; Wayne County Probate Court Judge Terrance Keith; Danajha Tate, Black Law Students Association; Detroit Mercy Law Dean Nicholas Schroeck; ABLA President Jessica Holmes, Law Office of Jessica E Holmes PLLC; Tyra Page; and Ryan Jackson.
