Cooley Law School student receives $5,000 scholarship from SBM Section
A Cooley Law School student has been awarded one of two scholarships from the State Bar of Michigan Insurance & Indemnity Law Section.
Victoria Hanna, in second year at Cooley, received the $5,000 scholarship based on her essay, “Reforming Medical Insurance Law to Address America’s Healthcare Crisis.” The essay examines how current legal frameworks governing medical insurance often fall short of their fundamental purpose, protecting Americans from financial devastation due to medical expenses, and proposes comprehensive reforms to address these systemic gaps.
Hanna’s essay was published in the January 2026 Quarterly Journal of the State Bar of Michigan’s Insurance & Indemnity Law Section.
The Michigan Judicial Institute will conclude its two-part webinar series, “Supporting Justice-Involved Youth and Families Through the Re-Entry Process,” in which presenters provide an overview of the evidence-based service model Intensive Care Coordination with Wraparound (ICCW), discuss the Serious Emotional Disturbances Waiver (SEDW), and describe the youth re-entry process.
On Friday, March 13, “Part 2: Understanding the Re-Entry Process for Justice-Involved Youth” will be presented from noon to 1 p.m. This webinar will discuss:
• Information regarding the youth re-entry process.
• The planning that occurs throughout youth re-entry, from arrival at a residential facility until they are returned to a community setting.
Speaking during the program will be the Michigan Public Health Institute’s Victoria Key-Walker, Abigail Schaedig, Bianca Burch, and Curshawn Drake.
The intended audience for the webinar include juvenile probation officers and caseworkers, Case Management Organizations, MDHHS juvenile justice specialists and foster care workers, school personnel, attorneys, social service providers, Juvenile Justice County Team members, mental health providers and supervisors, family court administrators and supervisors, and other juvenile justice stakeholders.
