Michigan Supreme Court reappoints Jacqueline Freeman to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission

 The Michigan Supreme Court reappointed Jacqueline Freeman to the Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Michigan judiciary. Freeman, who represents Michigan ABA-Accredited law schools, is senior director and special advisor to the president for diversity, equity, and inclusion at Cooley Law School.

The Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Michigan Judiciary was first created in 2021 to assess and work towards elimination of demographic and other disparities within the Michigan judiciary and justice system. The 24-member commission is comprised of Michigan’s legal professionals and stakeholders, including judges from various courts, members of judicial associations, ABA-accredited law schools, and others.

At Cooley Law School, Freeman works to promote the law school’s mission of advancing diversity of the legal profession through professional exploration programs, which provides the opportunity to study law, prepare to pass the bar, and become lawyers.

Originally appointed for a one-year term in early 2023, Freeman’s reappointment allows her to serve through 2026.
