C|M|LAW
Welcomes Judge Ronald Adrine and Professor Emerita Susan Becker as Leaders-in-Residence
"We are fortunate to welcome back two distinguished alumni who have vast knowledge and expertise to offer our students and faculty," said Dean Fisher. "Both are deeply invested in our school and serve as models for what can be achieved with a legal education."
Judge Adrine recently retired as Administrative and Presiding Judge of the Cleveland Municipal Court, a position he held since 2009. He first took a seat on the Cleveland Municipal Court bench in 1981 and was reelected five times.
Professor Becker has been a part of C|M|LAW for nearly four decades, first as a law student and then an adjunct instructor, law professor, associate dean, and currently as professor emerita. She served for 24 years as a full-time faculty member at C|M|LAW before retiring in June 2014.
