Michigan State University College of Law invites students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the college to hear firsthand from one of its most notable graduates. MSU College of Law Trustee Charlie Langton will sit down with former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer to discuss Archer’s experience as a public official and a leader in the legal industry.
The event will be held at the offices of Dickinson Wright on Wednesday, Aug. 8, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. A dessert and wine reception will follow.
Archer graduated from Detroit College of Law in 1970 and entered private practice with the mindset that “the practice of law is a privilege and not a right.”
While he is currently chairman emeritus of Detroit-based Dickinson Wright, Archer was previously a Michigan Supreme Court justice (1985-1990) and served two terms as the mayor of Detroit (1994-2001). He was also the first African-American president of the American Bar Association (2002-2003).
“Dennis Archer is one of our most accomplished graduates,” said MSU Law Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Kristi Bowman.
“We are all looking forward to hearing his thoughts about life, leadership, law, and Detroit at this event.”
