Attorney Geoffery Fieger will be speaking at 8 p.m. Thursday in Room 343 of the MSU-Detroit College of Law Building.

The program, "Champion and Advocate: Reflections On My Life as a Trial Lawyer," is part of the Geoffery Fieger Trial Practice Institute lecture series.

Fieger, a 1979 DCL graduate, ran for governor of Michigan in 1998 but lost to then-Gov. John Engler.

He is best known for representing Jack Kevorkian in a battery of trials for assisted suicide.

In 2001, Fieger donated $4 million to create the the Geoffery Fieger Trial Practice Institute at DCL.

The institute gives students experience in courtoom litigation.
