Michelson runs workshops to prepare students for the types of questions they might encounter during interviews. She says she gives students advice on how to dress for the interview and how to follow...

In 1967, a year after he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, his father was forced from office and jailed after a federal-court conviction for jury tampering. In July 1975, Hoffa mysteriously disappeared from the parking lot of a suburban Detroit restaurant. No one has ever been charged...
