More than 190 years of federal legal history will be rolled out Feb. 14 at the first reunion of lawyers who have served in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
The office, dating to 1815 and serving about 6.7 million residents in 34 counties, has been a professional home to Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Michigan Supreme Court Justices Stephen Markman and Maura Corrigan, ex-U.S. Sen. Phil Hart and U.S. Supreme Court Justices Frank Murphy and Henry B. Brown.
About 300 current and former office members are expected to attend the dinner when retired Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney Ross Parker will unveil the histories and portraits of the 51 people who have served as the U.S. attorney in Detroit.
"We want to highlight the proud legacy of one of the finest United States attorney's offices in the nation," said current U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy.
Dick Thornburgh, a former U.S. attorney general and Pennsylvania governor, will be the keynote speaker
