Thomas Linn (center) was among the honorees. As co-chair of Miller Canfield PLC’s Pro Bono Committee, Linn spearheaded initiatives to expand the firm’s pro bono impact, creating a summer associate program focused on service, building partnerships with community organizations, and encouraging firm-wide engagement.

Happy to congratulate Linn at the reception were guest speaker former Detroit Mayor and former American Bar Association President Dennis Archer (left), of Dickinson Wright PLLC; and LSC Board Chair John Levi (right).
