Circuit court judges speak at ‘Luncheon Limine’ Feb. 8
In its continuing efforts to foster collegiality between the Oakland County bench and bar, the Oakland County Bar Association (OCBA) will continue its “Luncheon Limine” brown bag lunch series between judges and attorneys online via Zoom. “Luncheon Limine: Court of Appeals” will take place Thursday, February 8, from noon to 1 p.m.
The Q&A series between judges and attorneys continues this February with a chance to meet and hear from Oakland County Circuit Court Judges Yasmine I. Poles and Kwamé L. Rowe. The judges will focus on criminal proceedings and will share their preferred protocols and procedures as well as advice and insight.
Participants can bring their questions (and their lunch) for an informal discussion of legal topics and practice issues.
This event is free for OCBA member and $15 for non-members. Space is limited. To register and receive the Zoom details, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”

MAACS seeks applications for 2024 summer interns/externs
The Michigan Appellate Assigned Counsel System (MAACS), a division of the State Appellate Defender Office (SADO), is seeking first- and second-year law students for internship and externship opportunities during the summer of 2024.
MAACS is responsible for the recruitment, training, and oversight of private attorneys who accept court appointed appeals from the state’s circuit courts. MAACS roster attorneys handle 75% of all court appointed appeals pending in the Michigan appellate courts. SADO is the public defender office that represents clients in the remaining 25% of cases.
Working under the supervision of MAACS Deputy Administrator Patricia Maceroni, students will work with MAACS roster attorneys on all aspects of appellate representation. Work will include transcript review, investigation of client concerns, document collection, participation in client meetings, the drafting of pleadings. Students may also potentially appear in court, consistent with MCR 8.120. Start and end dates are flexible and will be determined by the school’s academic calendar and program. This is a hybrid office, and students will be expected to do some of their work in the Detroit office.
The deadline for applications is March 1. To apply, law students should submit a single PDF with a letter of interest, resume, and writing sample, to Maceroni at pmacroni@sado.org. All questions may be directed to Maceroni.
