Wayne State University Law School Dean Robert M. Ackerman (far left), the Wayne Law Board of Visitors, and the Wayne Law Alumni Association were pleased to present the 14th annual Treasure of Detroit Gala on Saturday, March 26, at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
This year’s Treasure of Detroit honorees were James K. Robinson, ’68 (honored posthumously), David M. Hempstead (second from right), ’75 of Bodman PLC, and A. Alfred Taubman. Lake Orion attorney Marietta Robinson (second from left) and U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Damon J. Keith (far right), Sixth Circuit, were happy to attend as representatives of Robinson and Taubman respectively.
“We are pleased to honor three public-spirited individuals, each with a strong connection to Wayne Law,” said Ackerman. “Jim Robinson — as a private practitioner, a public servant and a law school dean — personified the lawyer in the public interest. David Hempstead is a highly regarded lawyer who always finds time for his community, including Wayne Law. And Al Taubman is a philanthropist whose generosity — and whose interest in education, medicine and the arts — knows no bounds.”
Since its inception in 1998, the Treasure of Detroit Gala has been Wayne Law’s premiere event for honoring those who have made a lasting contribution to the practice of law, as well as to the growth and success of the school.
This year’s gala featured an alumni reunion reception for all classes paying special tribute to this year’s featured class: the class of 1970. The event featured a silent auction, awards program, and dinner.
