On June 27th, United States District Judge David Lawson conducted his motion call at Cooley Law School's Auburn Hills campus. The program was sponsored by the Auburn Hills student chapter of the Federal Bar Association. The judge heard three civil motions including breach of contract, a motion to dismiss, and a request for a declaratory judgment. The program, which began a couple of years ago, is a continuing program where federal judges move their court to Cooley's Auburn Hills campus to hear motions. Previously, judges Bernard Friedman, Robert Cleland and Victoria Roberts conducted their motion call at the Auburn Hills campus.
