Law student wins 2024 ACC Michigan Chapter scholarship
Cooley Law School student Catherine Gagnon was selected as the 2024 winner of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Michigan Chapter Scholarship for Academic Excellence in Corporate and Business Classes. She will be honored as the $3,000 scholarship recipient during the ACC award ceremony later this spring.
As part of of the ACC’s mission of encouraging law students to consider careers in corporate legal department, the ACC Michigan Chapter selected Gagnon for the scholarship based on demonstrating academic achievement, particularly in business-law related classes.
Since its inception in 1983, the Michigan Chapter of ACC has grown from an initial group of about 35 to more than 600 attorneys serving as general counsel, assistant general counsel and corporate counsel to automotive companies, financial institutions, health care providers, utilities, retailers, science and technology companies, and educational institutions throughout Michigan. The chapter’s offerings include: continuing legal education, opportunities to network with other in-house attorneys, and advocacy on behalf of the profession.
The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan (CDAM) will conduct a webinar on “The Changing Landscape of Youth Defense” Friday, June 14, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
With the passage of the juvenile justice reform bills last year and some recent case law, many changes are coming to juvenile delinquencies that will impact how to represent young clients.
The webinar will take a look at:
• Upcoming statutory and court rule changes to delinquencies
• New strategies for representing youth
• How recent case law impacts youth defense
Speaking at the webinar will be Joshua Pease, the Youth Defense Project director at the State Appellate Defender Office. He leads efforts to reform representation of youth in delinquency cases across the state at all levels by spearheading reforms impacting youth in the justice system and facilitating trainings to improve the quality of representation those youth receive. Prior to joining SADO, Pease worked in private practice with a focus on representing children.
Cost for the webinar is $60 for CDAM members and $75 for non-members. To register, visit https://cdam.wildapricot.org.
