    My words are failing me a bit today; I suppose I thought he would live forever. But I can at least say there was nobody I admired more in my profession, and in life, than Judge Damon Keith. I see him as a father figure and will forever strive to make him proud. (1/6)

    Emerson K. Lovell will graduate Saturday as No. 1 out of 140 students in his class, with the highest academic honor distinction, summa cum laude. Lovell follows the few students who have done the same: Goler Teal Butcher ('57) and Ritu Narula ('10).

    Also let’s acknowledge the work of the reporters who pushed to force this information into the public domain. If wasn’t for them they would’ve destroyed the cell video a long time ago. God bless the free press.

    I can barely wrap my mind around the fact that they hid this video for all these years, even from her own family. Pure evil. More prayers for the family of

    I'm proud to be one of more than 500 former federal prosecutors who think we could prove in criminal court, beyond reasonable doubt, that committed obstruction of justice.

    No prosecutor worth their salt would make a decision about whether the President of the United States obstructed justice without reviewing the evidence. Attorney General Barr lacks all credibility.

    It’s true Senator Harris roasted Barr like a marshmallow 🔥

    Judge Damon Keith—beloved mentor, father and friend—has died. For those of us who worked for him, loved him, were tutored by him, it is an indescribable loss. Rest In Peace, Judge: though the fight for justice is not finished, those you taught so well will take it from here.

    In a time of political decision-makers, who pick and choose which social justice issues they will fight for, he refused to be cabined. A prophetic voice lost.

    He never gave up fighting for these families. And there are so many of us that he loved that he never gave up on. All we can do now is be inspired by his memory and legacy. (6/6)

    Still, I always saw the Hamtramck case as singular.The city racially targeted neighborhoods for displacement to build new high income housing. He ordered that the city build new homes for the Black families. They fought it for 45 years, but so did he.(5/6)

    He was a trailblazer who made an impact on the law in the areas of women's rights, affirmative action, civil liberties, education law, it's a long list that spanned half a century as a federal judge and lawyer. (4/6)

    He was 96 years old. He was the Dean of black jurists. He was mentored by people like Thurgood Marshal and Charles Houston, and was a peer to people like Dr. Martin Luther King. (2/6)

    As some may have heard, Judge Damon J.Keith, who was a federal judge on the 6th Circuit & prior to that a district court judge, has died. Judge Keith was a civil rights icon. I clerked for Judge Keith and I learned a lot from him. I'll share a couple of those lessons here. 1/11

    My heart is heavy. Sleep in Heaven my beloved Honorable Damon J. Keith. A national treasure, brilliant jurist, crusader for justice, and father figure and guidepost for his law clerk family. ❤️

    Judge Keith is like a father to his law clerks, and I’m so sad to have lost him but proud to be part of the Keith Clerk family. He lived by his principles, even when it was inconvenient, & is a role model for living purpose-driven life.
