Law students, recent graduates and newly admitted attorneys had the opportunity to meet judges and attorneys during the National Association of Women Judges 2018 MentorJet program at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus. The speed mentoring format allowed those in attendance to meet with a variety of legal professionals and gain knowledge about working in the field of law.
“Judge Michelle R. Rick and our Career and Professional Development department worked very hard to put this program together,” said WMU-Cooley Associate Dean Joan P. Vestrand. “We appreciate that this distinguished group of judges and attorneys volunteered their time to mentor and inspire our students.”
The June 5 event was coordinated by WMU-Cooley’s Career and Professional Development Department and co-sponsored by the Organization of Women Law Students, the Black Law Students Association and the Sports and Entertainment Law Society.
