We are mourning the loss of alumnus and adjunct professor Hon. Timothy P. Connors, who passed away on Thursday, October 8, 2026.

A state court judge since 1991 and a member of the Wayne Law faculty since 1996, Judge Connors founded the Washtenaw County Peacemaking Court and devoted his career to restorative, relationship-centered justice and to teaching the next generation of lawyers. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who learned from him.

Day one of Orientation, and our incoming Wayne Law students already jumped into community service at Clark Park 🌳🧤. Getting to know classmates while giving back to Southwest Detroit.

Clark Park has been a vital community hub since the 1800s. Thanks to everyone who helped keep this beautiful 30-acre space thriving.

Nothing beats a community service project! 💛

Orientation Week is all about helping our incoming students get connected to the people, programs and resources here to support them throughout their Wayne Law journey.

Today’s Resource Fair gave students the chance to meet representatives from across Wayne Law and Wayne State, learn about available services and discover resources for everything from academics and career development to wellness, financial support and campus life.

A great start to getting connected and making Wayne Law feel like home. 💚💛

Meet the 2026 Damon J. Keith Pre-Law Summer Institute Cohort

This summer, 8 undergraduates from Wayne State University and Spelman College, Tennessee State University, and North Carolina A&T State University participated in the DJK Summer Institute. They prepped for the LSAT, observed federal court hearings, learned from accomplished lawyers and professors, and competed in a mock trial.

Congratulations to mock trial winners Zaria Jackson, Karla Alvarado, Joshua Edwards, and Jordan Edwards (with best oral advocates going to Zaria Jackson and Joshua Edwards).

All participants received $500 law school scholarships and something far more valuable: clarity about the advocate they're meant to become.

We are so proud of Wayne Law student Kerri Tang, who took First Place in the Eleventh Annual AUWCL National Health Law Writing Competition at American University Washington College of Law! 🎉

Kerri's winning paper, "Don't Kickback, and Relax: Navigating the Post-Regeneron Circuit Split and the Unsettled Future of 'Resulting From' in 2026," was inspired by her health law coursework and her experience clerking at a health law firm.

Kerri shared: "I am honored to represent Wayne Law and receive this prize from American University. This award is a reflection of the kindness that I have been fortunate to receive from so many people. I am very happy to be sharing this recognition with all of you."

Congratulations, Kerri, you make Wayne Law proud! 💚💛
