He was also recognized by Michigan Lawyer’s Weekly as a Leader in the Law.
Tukel earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1982 and his law degree from University of Michigan Law School in 1988. He fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Henry Saad.
Tukel must seek election in November 2018 for a two-year term.
