On Saturday, May 18, U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts (center), Eastern District of Michigan, led an all-day training for 20 law students from eight different law schools who will participate in the Wolverine Bar Foundation’s Judicial Externship Program. Roberts started the program in 2001 to expand federal clerkship opportunities for minority students who will gain firsthand experience in federal practice, court proceedings, and conferences between judges and attorneys. They will also assist the judges to whom they are assigned with legal research and writing projects. Taking part in the training conducted at the Auburn Hills campus of Cooley Law School were (front row, l-r) La Toya Palmer, Adrean Taylor, Candice Coates, Krystal Player, U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts, Sharika Robinson, Charity Dean, Alana Glass, and Mohamad Awan; (second row) Jessica Holmes, Mylika Johnson, Hope Campbell, Nagah Mahram, and Sasha Griffin; (third row) Deborah Johnson, Christopher Burtley, Arius Webb, Shannon King, and Jonathan Kirkland; and (back row) Devon Cox, Blake Edwards, Christopher Knight, Rabih Hamawi, and Mikiya Aaron.
