Army Major Miles Gengler of Grand Blanc will take his oath and be admitted as an attorney licensed to practice in Michigan, despite being on the other side of the globe, thanks to a video conference arranged by the Thomas M. Cooley Law School.
According to the Detroit Legal News Examiner story, Major Gengler took the February 2009 bar examination in February 2009, which was "two days before he was deployed to Iraq."
Says John Nussbaumer, dean of Cooley's Auburn Hills campus, “I promised Miles that if he passed the bar exam, I would find a way to get him sworn in even though he would still be in Iraq.” Nussbaumer continued, “Miles is putting his life on the line for our country; arranging for his swearing-in is the least we can do to show our appreciation for his service.”
