In observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Black Law Students Association along with faculty members have come together to present the panel discussion “Trump’s First 100 Days: Bridging Gaps and Building Empathy.” The discussion, which is free and open to the public, will feature a diverse group of panelists discussing how President-Elect Donald Trump and his administration could affect key issues. Topics of discussion are expected to include the Affordable Care Act, climate change, immigration, stop and frisk, and voting rights.
Panelists participating in the discussion include:
• Ruby Robinson, supervising attorney for the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center.
• Lisa DeMoss, WMU-Cooley visiting professor and director of the Master of Law Program in Insurance.
• Gerald Fisher, WMU-Cooley professor, Constitutional Law.
• Natalia Hanna, attorney, Ellis Porter’s Business Immigration Services team.

Equal Access to Justice Day, as initiated by Cooley President and Dean Don LeDuc, suspends WMU-Cooley’s classes in observance of MLK Day. Students, faculty, and staff devote the day to study, reflection, and programs on the role of law and lawyers in protecting the right of everyone and assuring equal access to justice.
The program will take place Monday, Jan. 16, from 9 to 11 a.m. in room AH145 at WMU-Cooley’s Auburn Hills campus, 2630 Featherstone Rd.
