Domestic Violence Committee offers free pro bono training
The State Bar of Michigan Domestic Violence Committee will offer an in-person training on how to handle pro bono family law cases with domestic violence components from 1 to 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, at Thomas M. Cooley Law School’s Lansing Campus. It will be simultaneously broadcast to Cooley’s three other campuses in Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, and Grand Rapids.
The training, provided by attorneys with many years of hands-on family law experience, will cover initial client interviews, substantive legal issues, pleadings, and pretrial and trial practices as they relate to family law cases with domestic violence components. It will offer a comprehensive introduction to family and domestic violence law for attorneys new to this area of practice, and will also serve as a great refresher for more experienced attorneys.
The training is free of charge for attorneys who commit to take on a pro bono family law case within six months. Register online at www.michbar.org/generalinfo/domesticviolence_reg.cfm. For additional information, contact SBM Pro Bono Counsel Robert Mathis at 517-346-6412 or rmathis@mail.michbar.org.
Firm hosts legal update on securities industry regulation
Miller Canfield lawyer Michael P. Coakley along with two Michigan state securities officials, Linda Cena, securities examination manager, and Jason Craft, securities examiner, will discuss the latest legal developments affecting the securities industry at an upcoming “Before the Bell Breakfast Forum” on Thursday, Sept. 19, from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. at the Townsend Hotel in downtown Birmingham, 100 Townsend Street.
The presenters will discuss examination sweep results and best practices derived from them, IA switch firms’ most common violations, and recent legislative developments in the industry.
For most of his career, Coakley has represented and counseled businesses in complex litigation and securities broker/dealers and stockbrokers in state and federal courts, arbitrations and before regulatory authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and National Association of Securities Dealers — the latter two are now the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
This event is limited to investment officers, registered representatives or trust officers. There is no cost to attend. Reservations are required. To register, contact Sandy Bera at 248-267-3345 or bera@millercanfield.com.
