On Monday, Jan. 5, State Bar of Michigan President Thomas Rombach (sixth from right, in back) presented the keynote speech to Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s incoming class during the school’s Professionalism in Action Orientation.
The event was held at WMU-Cooley’s Auburn Hills campus in conjunction with the State Bar of Michigan.
During his speech, Rombach discussed the challenges a law career can bring. He said being prepared, honest, and civil makes the experience rewarding, and he encouraged students to seek early and active involvement with local and state bar organizations to create networking opportunities and life-long friendships.
Additionally, to prepare students for issues they may face during their career, local attorneys and judges led small group discussions about professional conduct and ethical dilemmas.
Among those taking part in the program were (left to right) Antoinette Raheem, Jeffery Matis, WMU-Cooley Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka, Macomb County Prosecutor Steve Fox, Tammy Asher, retired Judge John Gilbreath, Daniel Bates, Paul Monicatti, Edwar Zeineh, WMU-Cooley Associate Dean Joan Vestrand, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Mark Switalski, Jeffrey May, and retired Judge Fred Mester.
