Lynn Helland, executive director of the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission, will be the featured speaker during WMU-Cooley Law School’s “Integrity in Our Community” speaker series on July 14 at the law school’s Auburn Hills campus.
The speaker series offers students, staff and faculty an opportunity to hear legal professionals share their experiences on ethics, service or professionalism. Beginning at noon, Helland will present, “Personal Integrity: Critical to Community, and Probably Tougher and Broader Than You Think.” During the event, Helland will be recognized for his contribution to the integrity of the profession.

Helland has significant experience with Michigan legal ethics as a professional responsibility officer, discipline hearing panelist and ethics instructor. He has been responsible for helping colleagues comply with the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct.
During Helland’s 34 years as a federal prosecutor, he was assigned to complex crimes involving public corruption, health care fraud, national security and civil rights. He has investigated complex economic, environmental and non-drug money laundering crimes. In addition, he has worked internationally within legal systems to obtain documents and/or testimony for prosecution of complex economic crimes.
