On Friday, May 1, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus hosted a State Bar of Michigan Professionalism in Action Orientation for incoming students. The orientation premiered at the school in May 2009 under then State Bar of Michigan President Edward H. Pappas. Numerous judges and lawyers from metropolitan Detroit gave up their afternoons to meet in pairs with small groups of six to eight students each to discuss real-life ethics and professionalism issues that the students may confront as lawyers. Among those participating in the program were (front row, left to right) WMU Cooley Associate Dean Joan Vestrand, WMU Cooley Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka, WMU Cooley Prof. John Nussbaumer, Erin Bonahoom, Randy Secontine, and Oakland County 51st District Court Judge Jodi Debbrecht Switalski; along with (back row, left to right) Larry Nolan, Jeff Matis, retired Judge Fred Mester, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Mark Switalkski, retired Judge John Gilbreath.
