“The Business of the Lawsuit” will serve as the title of the 8th Annual State Bar of Michigan Business Law Symposium on Thursday, Feb. 12 in downtown Detroit. The 2026 program will feature several new formats, including 3-on-3 debate teams and a singular debate between two titans in the Michigan legal community, E. Powell Miller and Daniel Quick, moderated by former U.S. District Chief Judge Gerald Rosen, who served as the chief mediator of the Detroit bankruptcy in 2013.
The event will be held at The Gem Theatre, on Madison Street next to Ford Field.
In past years, the Symposium has explored topics ranging from corporate oppression, expert witnesses, and trial practice, to topics including the business of the running a law firm and negotiation in the mediation context.
The Symposium will principally focus on the uniqueness of the business lawyer and the business lawsuit.
The cost of attending the Symposium is $135.
