JBAM offers law student scholarship
The Jewish Bar Association of Michigan (JBAM) will award its annual $1,500 scholarship to a law student who exemplifies the character and values of the late attorney Charles J. Cohen.
A Michigander at heart, Cohen was a staunch advocate for his clients. An avid supporter of JBAM and the Jewish community, he continually stressed the importance of legal education. It was only fitting that JBAM chose to honor the life and legacy of Charles J. Cohen with this scholarship.
JBAM scholarship applicants must be enrolled full or part-time at a law school in Michigan; a 2L at the time of application; in good academic and administrative standing with a minimum 3.00 GPA; committed to practicing law in Michigan; and able to demonstrate a history of involvement within the Jewish community, the law school community and the legal community at-large.
Each applicant must submit:
1. A detailed letter of interest explaining how they meet award criteria, and any relevant connections and commitments to the Michigan.
2. A resume.
3. An official law school transcript.
4. Up to two letters of recommendation as part of their application.
Application materials must be submitted in a single pdf packet and in the order listed in the preceding section.
Applications are due by January 27 to Andrew Cohen, andrew@theclo.com. For additional information, email Andrew Cohen.
Whitmer to deliver State of the State address Jan. 25
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer will deliver her fifth State of the State address on Wednesday, January 25. The address will be held in the Michigan House Chambers in front of a joint session of the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate and broadcast live throughout the state.
“The State of the State address is an opportunity to talk about the issues that make a real difference in people’s lives and focus on what we’re going to get done this year,” said Whitmer. “I can’t wait to share my vision for our state as we move towards our bright future, and lay out my plans to lower costs, bring supply chains and manufacturing home to Michigan, and ensure Michiganders have unparalleled economic opportunity and personal freedom.”
During her 2023 State of the State address, Whitmer will lay out her plans to tackle the challenges Michiganders are facing right now. Her proposals will lower costs, make Michigan more competitive, expand opportunity, and protect people’s fundamental rights. Together, they represent the future and will move Michigan forward.
Residents can watch the 2023 State of the State address via local TV channel; online at michigan.gov/StateOfTheState; on Facebook and YouTube.
