2 judges suspended with pay by Michigan Supreme Court
DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has suspended two judges with pay.
Judge David Parrott is a 34th District Court judge in Romulus, while Judge Kahlilia Davis works at 36th District Court in Detroit.
The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission has accused Davis of not using official recording equipment while hearing cases in early 2019.
Commission investigators said Davis recorded hearings with her personal phone and posted some on the internet. In response, Davis' attorney said she was not trained by court staff to use courtroom technology.
In Parrott's case, he was charged in February with assaulting a woman at their home. His attorney, Robert Coutts, said at the time that Parrott would be "vindicated."
The Supreme Court suspended the two judges Wednesday.

Federal Bar chapter plans online annual meeting for June 30
Consistent with Federal Bar Association Eastern District of Michigan Chapter’s by-laws, the chapter’s annual meeting is normally held in conjunction with the Annual Dinner. This year, in order to address the administrative requirements needed to transition into the next chapter year during a global pandemic, the FBA will host this meeting via Zoom separate from the Annual Dinner event.
This Zoom meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 30, beginning at noon. It will be an open meeting of the membership and should take no longer than 1/2 hour. Pre-registration is required by emailing fbamich@fbamich.org to get the meeting identification number.
By separate correspondence to the chapter’s past presidents, executive board and committee chairs, the slate of officers and executive board will be proposed.
The FBA is discussing an outdoor event later in the summer as a unique and fun substitute for the Annual Dinner. Details will be released at a later date.
