Snyder appoints spokesman to judicial watchdog agency
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder has appointed his spokesman to a state agency that keeps an eye on the state’s judiciary.
Ari Adler’s two-year appointment to the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission is one of many appointments that Snyder is making as his second term nears an end on Jan 1.
Adler isn’t a lawyer. But he’s replacing another non-lawyer: car dealer and Republican fundraiser David Fischer.
The Judicial Tenure Commission is an agency responsible for investigating complaints of misconduct by judges. It has a full-time staff of lawyers who evaluate and investigate grievances against judges. The nine-member commission recommends discipline to the Michigan Supreme Court.
Yale Law student named 2018 Buckfire & Buckfire Law School Diversity Scholarship Winner
Buckfire Law recently announced that Sarah Camiscoli has been named the recipient of the 2018 Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. Law School Diversity Scholarship.
The Law School Diversity Scholarship program was established in 2013 as part of Buckfire Law’s initiative to recognize outstanding law school students who are committed to promoting diversity in their communities.
Camiscoli, who previously worked as an English as a Second Language teacher in New York City, will be attending Yale Law School this upcoming fall.
Her time in the classroom exposed Camiscoli to the inequalities that students face within New York City’s segregated and under-resourced schools. This experience inspired her to found IntegrateNYC, an organization that convenes students across segregated schools to design solutions for school integration and equity.
As IntegrateNYC expanded, questions of pursuing litigation and policy change emerged, leading Camiscoli on the path toward law school.
“As an alumnus, I envision doing impact litigation with the burgeoning IntegrateUS national network to file complaints on behalf of impacted student leaders,” Camiscoli said.
“Sarah is already a successful leader in the realm of diversity and inclusion,” said Lawrence J. Buckfire, president and lead trail attorney at Buckfire Law. “A legal education will only magnify her impact. We are so pleased to be able to help Sarah accomplish her goals with this scholarship.”
Every year, the Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. Law School Diversity Scholarship awards one deserving law student $2,000 to be used toward his or her continued education in law school. The scholarship is available to all students in the United States who dedicate themselves to promoting diversity in their communities.
The firm offers multiple scholarships each year for students who demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence.
