The third meeting of the Detroit Catholic Central High School "Shamrock Bar Association" was held on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at the school. The featured speaker for the meeting was the Honorable Robert Colombo, pictured above, of the Wayne County Circuit Court, and member of the class of 1968. The CC class of 1968 has made an extraordinary contribution to the legal community, with over two dozen of its members having gone on to become lawyers or judges. It was announced at the meeting by retired Wayne County Circuit Judge Richard Hathaway (also a member of the class of 1968), that Judge Colombo will be running for a seat on the Michigan Supreme Court in 2010.
Distinguished Jurist Awards were presented to Judge Hathaway, Judge Colombo, and US District Court Judge Sean Cox '75, who are pictured above, left to right respectively, with Fr. Richard Elmer, CSB.
The establishment, sponsorship and coaching of a Mock Trial Team at CC was also discussed.
An album with just over 200 pictures from the event, can be found here.
The meeting was chaired by yours truly, a member of the illustrious Class of 1971.
