On International Women’s Day Friday, March 8, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law hosted a portrait unveiling of Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Denise Langford Morris (right). Painted by Detroit artist Henry Heading (left), the portrait is a gift from four Detroit Mercy Law student organizations—Law Review, Black Law Students Association (BLSA), Women’s Law Caucus, and the Student Bar Association. The portrait unveiling followed Detroit Mercy Law Review’s 2019 Symposium: Women and the Law. For 26 years, Langford Morris has served on the Oakland County Circuit Court, the first African-American jurist on that bench. Previously, she was an assistant U.S. attorney, civil division, an assistant Oakland County prosecutor, and a trial attorney in private practice specializing in insurance defense. She graduated from Detroit Mercy Law in 1982 and is a member of the University’s Board of Trustees.
