Law student attends Federalist Society Student Leadership Conference in D.C.
University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Federalist Society Chapter President Robert Lulgjuraj joined chapter leaders in Washington D.C. for the 2019 Federalist Society Student Leadership Conference this past July.
He attended a reception inside the U.S. Supreme Court courtyard, where he conversed with law students from other schools and met various federal and state judges and prominent attorneys from across the country.
After attending the conference, Lulgjuraj said that he understood “the importance of the student body having the opportunity to hear political discourse from both sides of the argument. As future lawyers, public policy is shaped best by understanding opposing arguments; otherwise, we risk being consumed by echo chambers.”
On the future of The Federalist Society at Detroit Mercy, Lulgjuraj said, “I am committed to educating others on the importance of interpreting the law as written, exercising judicial restraint and the separation of powers.” Lulgjuraj added, “This experience was only available because of the opportunities and experiences Detroit Mercy Law provides its students. It was an honor to have represented our school at the highest court in the land.”
Groundbreaking set on $1B natural gas plant
NILES, Mich. (AP) — A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for next week on a $1 billion natural gas power plant in southwestern Michigan nearly two decades after it was first proposed.
The South Bend Tribune reports Illinois-based Indeck Energy Services has begun preparing the site for the Indeck Niles Energy Center.
The ceremony is scheduled Wednesday in Niles, located north of Michigan’s border with Indiana.
David Hicks, vice president of business development for Indeck, says it’s a testament to the “persistence and perseverance” of the city of Niles and Indeck.
The newspaper says the project, first proposed in 2000, was shelved when rising natural gas prices made it financially unviable, but it was later revived. More recently, plans to break ground in 2017 were pushed back.
State to investigate 6 cases of breathing illnesses, vaping use
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan health officials say they’re investigating six cases of breathing illnesses that may be linked to e-cigarettes or other vaping products.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday each of the cases was diagnosed in the last 60 days and most of the individuals have been hospitalized for severe respiratory illness. The patients range in age from 19 to 39. It says that as of Aug. 23, more than 200 possible cases of severe respiratory disease associated with e-cigarette use have been reported in 23 states. Illinois last week reported one death.
The Michigan agency says e-cigarette and/or vaping users should immediately seek medical attention if they develop symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, fever and/or nausea and vomiting.
