Law school deans to speak at reception

The Women Lawyers Association of Michigan (WLAM) Foundation is pleased to announce that this year’s Reception will feature a “TED” Talk with law school deans of Michigan including Jocelyn Benson, Wayne State University Law School; Phyllis L. Crocker, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law; and Joan W. Howarth, Michigan State University College of Law.

The WLAM Foundation’s Reception is also the occasion to introduce the ten 2015 Outstanding Women Law Students chosen to receive a total of $30,000 in scholarships supporting their law school education.  The awardees were selected on the basis of demonstrated leadership on women’s issues, through a competitive process. 

This year also marks the WLAM Foundation’s 19th year of making awards to deserving women law students.  In that time, 225 awardees have received a total of $530,000 in financial support.  The Foundation’s many corporate, law firm and individual donors have given generously to support the WLAMF’s educational mission, and many will also attend the event.

The Awards Reception will take place Wednesday, March 25, at the Great Lakes Culinary Center in Southfield, from 5:30 to 7:30, at a suggested donation of $30 per attendee.  The Reception can also give local attorneys the opportunity to network with other lawyers and donors.  The Great Lakes Culinary Center is located
at 24101 West Nine Mile Road in Southfield. 

Join the WLAM Foundation by registering for the event by Friday, March 20.  Contact Barb at 248-740-7003 to charge by phone, or charge online at www.wlamfoundation.org.

The WLAM Foundation’s website also offers opportunities to support the scholarship fund as a member of the Dean’s List, supporters at levels above $150. 
Virtually all donations go directly to scholarships, and they are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
