Committees

New Lawyer Seminar

Annually, not long after the results of the Michigan State Bar Examination are announced, the NLS Committee coordinates the Court’s en masse swearing-in ceremonies and sponsors a two-day “nuts and bolts/how to do it” seminar for new lawyers, designed to assist those recent graduates in understanding certain areas of substantive practice and the fundamental procedures followed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and in the state courts in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

The New Lawyers Seminar, the first such program in the USA, now in its 43rd year, utilizes a faculty that is composed of practicing attorneys, court personnel and judges who are well-qualified to present the subjects upon which they are asked to speak. As part of the Seminar, the Committee hosts a luncheon whichis held during the lunch break on the second day of the Seminar.
