The Jewish Law Students Association (JLSA) at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus this month presented Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein (second from left) who spoke on overcoming obstacles in order to achieve personal goals. Bernstein recently made history when he was sworn in as Michigan Supreme Court’s first blind justice. He began his career in the law offices of Sam Bernstein after graduating from Northwestern University School of Law. Much of Bernstein’s prior legal work was focused on protecting the rights of people with disabilities. Along with his legal career, he served as an adjunct professor at the University of Michigan and served an eight-year term on the Wayne State University Board of Governors, serving as its chair from 2009-2010. Among those welcoming Bernstein to the lunch program were (left to right) WMU-Cooley Associate Dean Joan Vestrand, WMU-Cooley Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka and JLSA President Robbie Unatin.
