EDITORIAL REVIEW

---

The quiet dignity of this Michigan maven stands tall during his region’s economic and political crises.



Though his schoolteacher days are long past, Archer won't hesitate to school anyone threatening his clients or his beloved Motor City


This all-star’s influence shines in new ballparks for Detroit’s Lions and Tigers franchises. Oh my.


Dennis Archer has achieved a lot since he graduated from Detroit College of Law 35 years ago. He served as a Michigan Supreme Court justice from 1986 to 1990, and as Detroit mayor from 1994 to 2001. He also was the first African-American to serve as president of the American Bar Association. In 2002, Archer settled into his current job: chairman of Dickinson Wright, a 200-lawyer firm based in Detroit. Since then, he has stayed in the public eye. A federal judge in 2004 appointed Archer guardian for civil rights leader Rosa Parks. Archer's job was to protect her interests in a defamation and trademark-infringement case over the use of Parks' name in a song by the rap group Outkast, and the case settled in 2005.
