Dennis Archer, Judge Joseph Baltimore, James Rucker, Eugene Terry, Judge Gershwin Drain, Elliott Hall, Judge Christopher Brown, and Cornelius Pitts.
Wolverine Bar Association held a special celebration July 13 at the Detroit Athletic Club to honor some of its most esteemed and iconic attorneys and judges for their 50 years of practicing law in Michigan. U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison was the keynote speaker.
“It was a wonderful occasion led by WBA chairs Attorney Elliott Hall and Sherrie Farrell along with Judge Cylenthia LaToye Miller,” said WBA?President Kim L. Ward. “We wanted to honor them and show our appreciation for paving the way and for seeking justice. This is a group of trailblazers who held high positions early on within their field and broke barriers and shattered ceilings for others. They are the building blocks and truly an inspiration to many in the profession.”
Many federal and state dignitaries provided warm remarks to the honorees for their many contributions, achievements and exemplary service to the legal profession, including Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Chief Judge Bridget McCormack, Wayne County Executive Warren Evans, and Mayor Duggan.
“It meant a lot to us,” said Dennis Archer. “We all saw a classmate or two and briefly caught up and met spouses, children and grandchildren. It was a special evening for each of us.”
