Treasure of Detroit
Since its inception in 1998, the Treasure of Detroit has been Wayne Law's premiere event for honoring those who have made a lasting contribution to the practice of law, as well as to the growth and success of the Law School. The annual event brings together some of the legal community's brightest minds and scholars. This year's gala will feature a reception, silent auction, dinner and awards program. (Honorees have yet to be announced.)
Sponsorship opportunities for this event are available, and the Law School encourages its friends to participate.
For information regarding sponsorship opportunities or giving to Wayne Law in general, please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at (313) 577-9238 or lawalumni@wayne.edu.
Information regarding honorees and tickets for the event be announced soon.
