Leaders in the Law: Almost everyone will be there

By now, you should have seen, and followed, a link to the Leaders in the Law 2008 Honorees on our website.

Next Thursday, April 24, Michigan Lawyers Weekly, and our sister publication, Midwest In-House, will honor and celebrate these 20 in-house counsel from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd. in Livonia. They're being recognized for their outstanding professional accomplishments in the legal community and within their company. The honorees were nominated by colleagues, clients and other legal professionals and were selected by a panel of judges from their profession.

We'd like to report that everyone will be there. Inevitably, there were a few scheduling conflicts. And, as it turns out, one of the honorees, James D. Robb, the General Counsel and Associate Dean of Development and Alumni Relations for Thomas M. Cooley Law School, is also a cast member of A (Habeas) Chorus Line. Robb and the rest of the troupe have an engagement at another event that - ah-hem - is running at the same time as ours.

The show must go on - both of them.

We're pretty sure our food will be better.

We still have a few tickets left. Call 800-678-5297 for more information.
