Ambulance Chase on tap at Wayne Law
Wayne State University Law School alumni, students and friends are invited to assist a local nonprofit as the Wayne Law Student Board of Governors (SBG) hosts the 26th annual Ambulance Chase Charity Run/Walk at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27.
Consisting of a 2.2-mile race during which participants run or walk behind an ambulance, the event pokes fun at the stereotype of the ambulance-chasing lawyer.
All proceeds, including profits from a $15 entrance fee for students and $20 entrance fee for non-students, will benefit Cass Community Social Services (CCSS), a Detroit-based charity dedicated to helping those in need.
The event will begin in front of the Law School, located at 471 West Palmer Street in Detroit. A barbeque for participants and spectators will take place at the conclusion of the race.

Portrait of former chief justice unveiled
LANSING (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has held a special session to present and dedicate a portrait of former Chief Justice Clifford Taylor.
The recent ceremony honored Taylor, who served on the court from 1997 through 2008.
The Republican-nominated judge was the court’s chief justice from 2005 to 2008.
Taylor lost a re-election bid in 2008 to Democrat-nominated Diane Hathaway.WASHINGTON (AP) — A 78-year-old justice on the top U.S. court was forced to slide down an emergency chute to evacuate a flight at an airport near Washington.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on her way to San Francisco and was not injured, said Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe Estrada.
A pilot noticed a problem with the engine on the United Airlines Flight 586 and ordered 179 passengers and six crew members to exit, according to an airport spokeswoman.
Ginsburg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009.
She underwent surgery and chemotherapy for the cancer and was hospitalized on two other occasions last year but is maintaining an active travel schedule that is taking her across the country at least twice this summer.

Judge dismisses lawsuit in USS Cole bombing
NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) — A federal judge in the state of Virginia has dismissed a lawsuit that sought an additional $282.5 million from Sudan for the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.
Relatives of the 17 sailors killed in the bombing in Yemen filed the lawsuit last year. They claimed Sudan’s government provided support for al-Qaida terrorists.
U.S. District Judge Robert Doumar in Norfolk ruled recently the plaintiffs can’t file a new lawsuit based on the same terrorist incident.
Fifty-nine of the 61 plaintiffs had obtained a nearly $8 million judgment against Sudan in an earlier lawsuit.
