Court in action

On Wednesday, March 2, the Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, and the Cooley Auburn Hills student chapter of the Federal Bar Association hosted a motion call at Cooley's Auburn Hills campus.

Federal Bar Association President Laurie Michelson welcomed the participants and thanked them for bringing this educational experience to the students.
