Justice David Viviano, the newest appointee to the Michigan Supreme Court, will be the keynote speaker for the Professionalism in Action Orientation at Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus.
The event, which will be held on Tuesday, April 30 from 3:30-5:30 p.m., will begin with Viviano speaking on ethics and professionalism in the legal profession.
It will also feature small group discussions where students sit with an experienced attorney and judge and explore a variety of ethical issues they may confront as law students and lawyers.
Viviano was appointed to the high court last month by Gov. Rick Snyder.
Before his appointment, he served as chief judge of Macomb County Circuit Court and Probate Court.
Prior to that, Viviano worked as an attorney for Dickinson Wright law firm in Detroit and Jenner & Block law firm in Chicago. He also attended
Hillsdale College and the University of Michigan Law School.
“The keynote speaker for this event should be someone who demonstrates consistent ethics and integrity in his or her practice,” said Lisa
Halushka, Cooley Law School’s acting associate dean at the Auburn Hills campus. “Justice Viviano, with his reputation for candor, fairness and measured temperament, will be a great fit for our keynote speaker and we are so proud to have him speak to our students.”
The Professionalism in Action Orientation is held for incoming students at the beginning of every term.
The Professionalism in Action Orientation was created in 2009 by former State Bar President Edward Pappas.
