The Federal Bar Association Eastern District of Michigan Chapter will hold its annual Leonard R. Gilman Award Luncheon on Thursday, April 22, at 11:30 a.m. at the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel in Detroit.
The Gilman Award, honoring an outstanding practitioner in criminal law, will be conferred upon Douglas R. Mullkoff.
He has been repeatedly honored as one of the top criminal defense attorneys in white collar crime in Southeastern Michigan, named “Super Lawyer” in the category of criminal defense by his peers and given the highest available AV rating by the national Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory.
He has appeared in federal appeal actions before the Sixth Circuit more than 80 times and argued cases before the Michigan Court of Appeals on over 150 occasions.
In 2003 and 2004 in the federal district court in Washington, D.C., Mullkoff brought a habeas corpus action that resulted in the repatriation to Saudi Arabia of a Guantanamo detainee.
Mullkoff was elected president of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and served in that capacity from 1998 through 2000.
In 2003, the Governor appointed him to the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and he served in that capacity through 2006.
The Luncheon keynote speaker will be Dave Bing, Mayor of the City of Detroit.
In 1966, Bing joined the NBA as a second overall first-round pick of the Detroit Pistons, and played 12 seasons for the NBA.
In 1980, Bing opened Bing Steel with four employees in a rented warehouse from $250,000 in loans and $80,000 of his own money.
By 1985, Bing Steel had expanded to two plants with 63 employees posting revenues of $40 million.
The company, among other things, supplies metal stampings to the automobile industry.
On October 16, 2008, Bing announced that he would be a candidate for the mayor of Detroit in the February 2009 primary election.
He defeated interim Mayor Kenneth Cockrel, Jr. Bing was re-elected to a full term on November 3, 2009.
