Wixson, a corporate and health care attorney with a focus on transactional and real estate law and complex commercial litigation, said she is honored to join the local nonprofit.
“I am passionate about hunger relief and providing nutritious food to people and children in our local communities,” Wixson said. “I am excited to be part of an organization focusing on bettering our local communities’ youth through all lessons learned in the garden, including those of heart and empowerment.”
Wixson is a graduate of Wayne State University Law School and Hope College. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, the American Bar Association Litigation Section, the American Health Lawyers Association and the Washtenaw County Bar Association. She is a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America.
ABA website updates data on law school admissions and tuition
Information about admissions and other matters reported by American Bar Association-approved law schools to the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar and required to be made public under Standard 509 of the Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools is now publicly available by clicking here.
The material is collected by the section, which requires law schools each year to disclose data in several categories, covering admissions, tuition and living costs, financial aid, class and faculty demographics, employment outcomes, bar passage and other areas.
The data can be easily searched and sorted, allowing for school-by-school comparisons and analysis and should be useful to prospective law students, pre-law advisors, media outlets and others who study and write about legal education.
The spreadsheets, explanatory information and the ABA's database of Standard 509 reports are available at www.abarequireddisclosures.org.
Some of this information has been collected and summarized in the News and Announcements section on the section's website and in its Statistics section.
The section’s 509 available reports go back only to 2011 although other historical statistics are available through the statistics link.
