FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 23, 2010 CONTACT: Lynne Schreiber (248) 376-0406, [email protected] FRANKLIN, Mich. – Just days before the Barry Levinson movie “You Don’t Know Jack” debuts on HBO (April 24th at 9 p.m. and April 25th at 2:45 a.m.), nationally known attorney Geoffrey Fieger spoke with Scott Weinberg on the CBS Radio Sunday morning legal show, Weinberg on the Law. “I advise all young lawyers that if their desire in life is to make a lot of money, then they’re in the wrong profession,” said Fieger last Sunday. “They won’t be happy. And that’s true of any profession. It wouldn’t hurt young lawyers to go work in public defender’s offices or to take criminal appointments.” “It doesn’t matter what you earn when you come out of college,” said Weinberg. “It’s the experience you get “If you love what you do, you’ll be successful,” says Fieger. “If you don’t love what you do then you shouldn’t be doing it.” The interview aired on Sunday, April 18th, on Detroit’s WXYT AM 1270. (The mp3 is available upon request.) “It was an honor and privilege to connect with one of our nation’s greatest lawyers,” says Weinberg. “And we are so lucky to have Fieger Law in our own backyard.

  • 2009Annual Report
    2009 Annual Report The only true test of values, either of men or of things, is that of their ability to make the world a better place in which to live. – Henry Ford Welcome and thanks from the chairman and the president For our region, our state, our country and the world, the year 2009 was one marked by great economic upheaval. Here in Southeast Michigan, it was felt in particularly profound ways, as we experienced historic and momentous change in what, for decades, had been our primary industrial base and the source of our global reputation. The impact on the American automotive industry was equaled, if not eclipsed, by a near-meltdown in the world’s financial markets. Throughout the country, it was a year of incredible challenge for our industries, our government, our institutions and our families. In such challenging times, institutions — particularly cultural institutions like The Henry Ford — become all the more important. In 2009, more than 1.6 million people were drawn to our campus, roughly 100,000 more than we had averaged during the previous several years. Why, in a time of such severe economic strain, did an increased number of people choose to spend time and discretionary resources visiting an American history complex? We believe the answer lies in The Henry Ford’s unique offerings; namely, the opportunity for families to immerse themselves in the optimism that infuses the stories of American innovation, ingenuity and resourcefulness that we present. They are traits that have successfully led us through the toughest and most challenging moments in our history.

We are very happy to be hosting committees during this strange year and would like to thank you for giving this online thing a shot. I am very excited to be a chair for this specific committee because a few years ago I did a similar committee which was at my first Model UN conference. I have been a part of Model UN for 3 years and have gone to a few high school conferences and two college conferences which includes NAIMUN and WMHSMUN (Georgetown and William & Mary). It was very interesting to hear different things from people across the country instead of the state. I know that we can have a very good discussion on the topic today as NFL CTE. Please send me your position papers at my email address below so that I may consider them for awards.
