Getting up-to-date with State Bar news
The Incorporated Society of Irish American Lawyers — along with the Women’s Bar Association, Oakland County region of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, and the South Asian Bar Association — recently hosted a gathering that featured State Bar of Michigan President Lisa Hamameh (center) at Brewery Faisan in Detroit. Hamameh provided the groups with an update on SBM activities. She is the first Palestinian American and ninth woman to serve as SBM president. On hand to welcome Hamameh to the event were (left to right) Sean Taylor, Satyam Talati, Dennis Cleary, Kristin Fernandez, Navita Beri, Monroe County 1st District Court Judge Michael Brown, John Larkin, Wayne County 24th District Court Judge Richard Page, ISIAL President Jennifer Cupples, James McCann, Elizabeth Erickson, Muhammad Siwani, Abha Fadipe and Wayne County 35th District Court Judge Michael Gerou.
