Join the judges and mayors at the 22nd Annual Dennis W. Archer Public Service Award Gala.
Archer Award winners all have one thing in common – each is an attorney or jurist who exemplifies the ideal of the law as public service. Proceeds will fund free legal clinics and community outreach programs.
90% of funds raised are directly allocated to pro-bono legal services, educational and student activities.
Please contact Darlene Trudell at 248 408-6919 or dtrudell@detroitlawyer.org for sponsorship information.
