Professionalism In Action at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School

Before incoming Thomas M. Cooley Law School students step into their first law school class, they are oriented to the importance of attorney ethics and professionalism.  Called Professionalism in Action, the State Bar of Michigan (SBM) professionalism orientation program brings students, local attorneys and judges together to discuss the role and importance of ethics and professionalism in the study and practice of law.  The Professionalism in Action program was initiated by past State Bar of Michigan President, Edward H. Pappas, in April 2009.  Since it began, more than 3,200 students and 332 lawyers and judges have participated in the program at Cooley.

Judge Drain was one of five judges who participated in the Auburn Hills events. Others included Chief Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals Henry William Saad, 3rd Circuit Court Judge Edward Ewell, 6th Circuit Court Judge Denise Langford Morris, 50th District Court Judge Cynthia Walker.
