Portrait of retired justice to be dedicated to the State Supreme Court

The Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society will present the portrait of former Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Conrad L. Mallett Jr. on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The event will take place during a special session of the Michigan Supreme Court at 3:30 p.m. at the Hall of Justice, 925 W. Ottawa Street in Lansing. Mallett served on the Michigan Supreme Court from 1990 to 1999, including a term as chief justice from 1997 to 1998. After retiring from the court, Mallett went to work for the Detroit Medical Center and is now president of Sinai Grace Hospital. The portrait was painted by Washington, D.C., artist Simmie Knox, whose other commissions have included Martin Luther King Jr., former President Bill Clinton, Mohammed Ali, Bill Cosby, and former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. The Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society was founded in 1988 by Dorothy Comstock Riley, during her term as chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. A nonprofit organization, the Society preserves documents, records, and memorabilia relating to the Michigan Supreme Court. The 25-member board oversees the production of publications, special events and other projects to achieve its goals in education and restoration.
