Michigan Supreme Court center opens domestic violence exhibit
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center is opening a new exhibit about domestic violence.
The exhibit opening Tuesday in Lansing aims to use age-appropriate interactive features to educate young people about domestic violence, as well as what help is available and the role of the state's courts.
The court says the exhibit at the Michigan Hall of Justice also includes take-away cards for a domestic violence hotline.
Former aides to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter ordered to stand trial
LIVONIA, Mich. (AP) — A judge has ordered two men who worked for a Detroit-area congressman to stand trial in a campaign scandal.
Paul Seewald and Don Yowchuang are charged with conspiring to get then-U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter on the ballot with bogus petitions. Yowchuang also is charged with forgery, and both men also face misdemeanors.
The attorney general’s office says Livonia Judge Sean Kavanagh announced the decision Tuesday after hearing testimony earlier this month. A Circuit Court arraignment is Nov. 6.
Officials say McCotter’s staff turned in less than the 1,000 valid signatures needed to get on the August primary ballot. Some petitions were photocopied and cut and pasted from previous years.
McCotter hasn’t been charged. There’s no evidence the Livonia Republican was aware of the alleged scheme. He quit office in July.
Wayne Law Symposium ‘Revisiting the American City’ set for Nov. 2
The 2012-2013 Wayne Law Review Symposium: “Revisiting the American City: A National Survey of Urban Legal Frameworks” will be hosted on Friday, Nov. 2, from 8:00am to 5:00pm at Wayne State Law School’s Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium, 471 W. Palmer, Detroit.

The Wayne Law Review hopes to answer this and other pressing questions with its annual symposium. Speakers will include national leaders on urban policy and lawmaking, as well as Michigan’s own policymakers and trendsetters in urban development, community action, and land use planning.
