Levin Center announces 2025 Annual?Report
The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne State University Law School is pleased to share its 2025 Annual Report, capturing a year of growth, partnership, and impact at a critical time for legislative oversight and democratic accountability.
As the Center marks its 10th anniversary, this year’s report reflects both the urgency and the promise of its work: strengthening Congress and state legislatures through bipartisan oversight, expanding civic education initiatives, and building a broader community committed to fact-based inquiry and the promise of a government that works for the people it represents. In a challenging political environment, it remains focused on ensuring that oversight serves the essential purpose of transparency, accountability, and better outcomes for the American people.
The report features:
• Major program highlights from 2025 across congressional, state, and civic education initiatives
• New collaborations and partnerships strengthening the oversight ecosystem
• Reflections on the importance of bipartisan fact-finding and institutional resilience
• Key metrics and milestones from the past year

Affinity Bar Challenge taking place March 19
The 2026 Affinity Bar Charity Challenge will take place Thursday, March 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Pops for Italian, 280 W. Nine Mile Rd. in Ferndale, for a fun night of giving back.

Each partner bar association is representing a charity. Attendees will vote for their favorite bar association by donating cash “tips” to the association’s “tip jar” of their choice. All tips will go to the charities selected by each respective bar association.
The bar association that receives the most tips will win the challenge and receive an additional donation to its charity. All net proceeds from the event will also be split between all of the charities.
Tickets cost $60 for members of any partner organization, $85 for non-members, and $30 for law students. Tickets include plentiful hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar will be available. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”
