Correction



In the Aug. 26, 2025, edition of the Detroit Legal News, Judge David M. Lawson was mistakenly identified as retired in a caption for a photo of The Eastern District of Michigan Bar Association’s 2025 Bench/Bar Golf Outing. Judge Lawson is still hearing cases as a senior judge. He assumed senior status on August 6, 2021. The Detroit Legal News regrets the error.
