Dynkowski appointed Mich. rep of Owners’ Counsel of America
Darius Dynkowski, partner with Bloomfield Hills-based Ackerman Ackerman & Dynkowski, P.C. has been appointed as the Michigan representative for the Owners’ Counsel of America.
The Owners’ Counsel of America (OCA) is an organization that brings together the most experienced eminent domain attorneys in the country to protect the rights of private property owners.
A position formerly held by managing partner Alan Ackerman, Dynkowski was appointed as the Michigan representative for OCA in 2011.
He is a 1993 graduate of Wayne State University, and he received his Juris Doctor degree from the Detroit College of Law in 1996. A frequently published author, he serves as the co-chair of the American Bar Association Condemnation Law Committee and the chair of the American Bar Association Real Property/Condemnation/Eminent Domain Committee. Dynkowski has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit Law School since 2002 and at Michigan State University College of Law since 2009. He also sits on the Michigan State Board of Real Estate Appraisers, to which he was originally appointed in 2004.
AG files brief against student’s dismissal
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s attorney general says a graduate student’s dismissal from a counseling program for telling clients to avoid homosexual behavior may have violated her constitutional rights.
Bill Schuette says on his state web site that he is supporting Julea Ward’s civil rights lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti.
Julea Ward says she was removed in 2009 from Eastern’s counseling program because she refused to counsel gay clients, saying she believed homosexuality was morally wrong.
She sued the school that year, alleging a violation of her constitutional rights. The suit was dismissed in July in federal court in Detroit.
Schuette’s office has filed a brief in the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals saying Ward should not have been denied the opportunity to make a referral.
Detroit officer’s family sues city, police
DETROIT (AP) — The family of a Detroit police officer killed by her estranged husband is suing the city, alleging officials scuttled an investigation that could have prevented her death.
The 22-page wrongful death lawsuit seeking unspecified damages also accuses two Detroit sergeants of protecting 36-year-old homicide detective Ed Williams from possible criminal prosecution following reports he had assaulted 33-year-old Patricia Williams in the days before she was fatally shot in September 2009. Ed Williams also fatally shot himself.
The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit says the last three days of their lives included domestic violence and a statewide alert prompted by Ed Williams' suspected suicide note. The suit claims a Detroit police sergeant convinced Canton Township police to cancel the alert.
City officials declined comment
