In April, Federal judges Bernard Friedman, left, and Gerald Rosen, right, pre-
sented a JHSM tour of the Theodore Levin U.S. Federal Courthouse. They are
in the Chief Judge's courtroom, dubbed the "Million Dollar Courtroom," with
its 30 types of marble, mahogany benches and many important artifacts.

Please join Michigan Hillel as we honor Michael Brooks
with the coveted Golden Apple, celebrating his career and
legacy. Michael will undoubtedly deliver the Golden Apple
lecture of a lifetime.
