JBAM honorees saluted

Retired Oakland County Circuit Court Judge James Alexander (seated, right) and current Oakland County Circuit Court Judge David Cohen (seated, left) were in the spotlight May 21 at the Annual Awards Ceremony presented by the Jewish Bar Association of Michigan. The event, which took place at the Somerset Inn in Troy, was highlighted by the presentation of the Avern Cohn Lifetime Achievement Award to Alexander and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Champion of Justice Award to Cohen. “This year’s event was standing room only, a true testament to the accomplishments of our honorees, and the remarkable growth of our organization,” said attorney Jordan Zuppke (seated center), president of the Jewish Bar Association of Michigan. “JBAM is a necessary pillar of our community, strengthening the voice of Jewish legal professionals across Michigan. I strongly encourage all attorneys and law students reading this to become members. There are great events and networking opportunities that we offer. To our sponsors, board members, and all of those who volunteered, again, thank you for being part of our mission.” Happy to recognize the judges at the ceremony were (standing, left to right) Jessica Davidov, David Sachs, Jerome Sabbota, JBAM Past President Nargiz Nesimova, Mitchell Ribitwer, JBAM Past President Elisheva Mosko, Cole Levine, Robert Goldman, Victor Wandzel, and Loren Shevitz.
