The Collins Einhorn Farrell commitment to diversity and inclusion is demonstrated by our sustained investments in the community. We have supported and participated in organizations that open pathways in the legal profession. These include:
American Bar Association CLEO (College Legal Education Opportunity): We are proud to support and sponsor a scholarship to the Prelaw Summer Institute, a month-long intensive academic program designed to increase economically disadvantaged students’ LSAT scores and prepare them for the rigors of law school.
Wolverine Bar Association: We support the Judicial Externship Program, a summer-long program that places promising minority law students in the chambers of U.S. District Court and Supreme Court judges. We are also proud sponsors of the annual Barristers Ball, the WBA’s primary fundraising event.
“Just the Beginning Foundation” High School Summer Legal Institute: We sponsor this week-long “discover the law” program for Detroit high school students, run by United States District Court Judge Victoria Roberts. Last year, 32 aspiring law students from 22 high schools participated.
D. Augustus Straker Bar Association: Collins Einhorn Farrell supports the Martin Luther King Drum Major for Justice Advocacy Competition. Additionally, Collins Einhorn Farrell attorneys have been active members of the Association, whose mission is to increase minority representation in the legal profession, to support legal practice opportunities for women and minorities, and to facilitate equal justice for all citizens in Oakland County.
Melissa E. Graves is a past president of the Oakland County Women’s Bar Association and a number of our female associates participate as members of the organization.
Neil MacCallum, one of our former managing partners, has served as Oakland County Bar Association Diversity Committee Chair.
Collins Einhorn Farrell is a member of the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Black Law Students Association.
Our firm has also participated in the Cooley-Auburn Hills Black Law Students Association Balancing Scales Scholarship.
