WMU-Cooley Law School honored 70 graduates of its Justice William Strong Class during a virtual commencement ceremony on Dec. 6. During the ceremony, 64 juris doctor and six master of laws degrees were conferred to graduates from the law school’s Auburn Hills, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Tampa Bay campuses.
Ashlee Morris from the Grand Rapids campus, and Ray C. Petty from the Tampa Bay campus provided the valedictory remarks. WMU-Cooley President and Dean James McGrath provided the keynote address.
Morris thanked the WMU-Cooley faculty, adjunct professors, and the librarians who “instilled in us the knowledge and know-how to not only become successful attorneys but independent thinkers that can see both sides on almost any issue.”
“At the beginning of our law school tenure, we were all bright-eyed and eager to learn about the law,” said Morris. “Through this experience we found a group of like-minded individuals who are eager to do the same. Now, as we come out of this experience, we emerge as fully capable legal minds ready to take on whatever the world throws at us.”
This WMU-Cooley Law School graduating class is named after U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Strong., who was elected to Congress as an anti-slavery candidate for the Democratic party in 1846.
