The Wayne Law Alumni Wall of Fame Award is the highest honor presented by the Law School. This distinction is awarded with great care to either alumni who have distinguished themselves by contributions that they have made in their own particular field of work, or in the betterment of humanity, or to former faculty and staff who have had a significant impact on the Law School. The Wall of Fame, an interactive, multimedia installment in the Law School lobby, was made possible by a donation from 1986 Wayne Law alumnus E. Powell Miller.

Officer on leave after apparent Ku Klux Klan document seen at home
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) — A white police officer in western Michigan is on paid administrative leave after an apparent Ku Klux Klan document was seen framed on a wall of his home.
The Muskegon Police Department opened an internal investigation after Robert Mathis, who is black, posted on Facebook that he saw the document while touring the officer's Holton-area home, which was for sale. He said he also saw Confederate flags at the house.
City Manager Frank Peterson said Thursday that Officer Charles Anderson, who has been on the force more than 20 years, is on leave indefinitely.
Anderson told MLive.com he was advised not to comment amid the investigation.
