The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required at go.wayne.edu/walloffame18.
The Wayne Law Alumni Wall of Fame Award is the highest honor presented by the Law School. This distinction is awarded with great care to either alumni who have distinguished themselves by contributions that they have made in their own particular field of work, or in the betterment of humanity or to former faculty and staff who have had a significant impact on the Law School. The Wall of Fame, an interactive, multimedia installment in the Law School lobby, was made possible by a donation from 1986 Wayne Law alumnus E. Powell Miller.
To learn more about the selection process, or to nominate somebody for the Wayne Law Alumni Wall of Fame, visit law.wayne.edu/ walloffame. Nominations received by Oct. 31 each year will be considered for the award given out the following fall.
