Law school to conduct Annual Red Mass Sept. 23
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law invites the legal community to celebrate the 113th Annual Red Mass on Tuesday, September 23, beginning at noon at Ss. Peter & Paul Jesuit Church, 438 Saint Antoine in Detroit.
Red Mass is an occasion for judges, attorneys, civic leaders and law students of all faiths to come together and pray for blessings and strength in the coming year's work. A luncheon reception in the atrium at Detroit Mercy Law School immediately follows the service.
This year’s Red Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger, Archdiocese of Detroit. U.S. District Court Judge Shalina D. Kumar, Eastern District of Michigan, will lead the Renewal of the Lawyer’s Oath of Commitment.
Detroit Mercy Law’s annual Red Mass dates back to 1877, when Detroit College, as the university was then known, began its first year with a Mass at Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church. The School of Law continued the tradition when it opened in 1912, again hosting the Red Mass on behalf of the Archdiocese of Detroit at Ss. Peter and Paul through the present.

New ballot access platform to launch for military and overseas voters
The Michigan Department of State recently announced the launch of a new online option to better serve the needs of military and overseas voters. The new system will launch publicly on Monday, September 15.
Developed in line with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), the Electronic Delivery and Return Portal (EDARP) delivers ballots electronically to eligible voters and allows eligible overseas active military members the option to conveniently mark and return an absentee ballot to their clerk’s office electronically through a secure online portal.
Previously, Michigan’s military voters stationed away from home, including overseas, received their ballot electronically but were only permitted to return the ballot by mail, creating the potential for increased delays in ballot tabulation.
Registered overseas voters who maintain a permanent residence in Michigan may also access the portal to view and print their ballots to complete and mail to their local clerk. The new portal will be accessible through Michigan’s MILogin system, a single sign-on platform run by the State of Michigan’s Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) that provides secure online access to various state services and applications.
