Lansing – The Michigan State Bar Foundation is pleased to welcome 21 attorneys from around the state to its Fellows Program for 2023, including attorneys in Ann Arbor and Lansing.
Fellows Chairperson Hon. Victoria A. Roberts recognized the class of 2023 Fellows of the Michigan State Bar Foundation at the Foundation’s Annual Fellows Reception on September 13, 2023. Judge Roberts thanked all the Fellows and said without the support of the Fellows, many of the Foundation’s grants for the improvements in the administration of justice and the delivery of civil legal aid to Michigan’s low-income populations would not be possible. Since inception, Fellows have contributed over $2 million.
Each year, the Foundation’s Fellow’s Committee accepts nominations from active Fellows and makes recommendation to the Board of Directors for final approval. These nominees are recognized by their peers, for their professional excellence and service to the community.
