Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus recently hosted a State Bar of Michigan Professionalism in Action Orientation for incoming students. The orientation premiered at the school in May 2009 under then State Bar of Michigan President Edward H. Pappas. Numerous judges and lawyers from metropolitan Detroit gathered to meet in pairs with small groups of six to eight students each to discuss real-life ethics and professionalism issues that the students may confront as lawyers. Among those participating in the program were (front row, left to right) Eric Parzianello, WMU-Cooley Auburn Hills campus Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Hala Jarbou, Michelle Donovan, WMU-Cooley Auburn Hills campus Associate Dean Joan Vestrand, State Bar of Michigan President Larry Nolan, Genesee County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Farah, Lori Smith, Aylysh Gallagher, Victoria King and Oakland County 50th District Court Chief Judge Cynthia Walker; along with (back row, left to right) Kurt Schnelz, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Jeffery Matis, Oakland County 52-2 District Court Kelley Kostin, Oakland County 52-4 District Court Judge Maureen McGinnis, retired Judge John Gilbreath, State Bar of Michigan President-Elect Don Rockwell, Oakland County 52-1 District Court Judge Travis Reeds, Matt Allen and Jordan Fields.
