Kinikia Essix has been selected to become court administrator and clerk of court of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Essix, the court’s financial manager for the past eight years, was selected last week by the court’s district judges. More than 80 candidates applied for the job.
She will assume the post on Jan. 1, and succeed David Weaver, who is retiring after 21 years in that position.
“Kinikia Essix is an exceptional leader and I look forward to working with her,” said Chief U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood. “She has distinguished herself as the Financial Manager of our court and throughout the federal court system as an up and coming Court leader.”
The court administrator/clerk of court is the chief executive of the court and is responsible for the Clerk’s Office, administrative functions affecting the Probation Department and Pretrial Services, and works closely with the chief judge.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan has jurisdiction over criminal and civil cases in the eastern side of Michigan from the Ohio state line to the Mackinac Bridge.
The court has some 350 employees and operates on a $30 million annual budget.
Its 20 district and seven magistrate judges work in courthouses in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Bay City, Flint and Port Huron.
Essix was born and raised in Detroit.
After graduating from Cass Technical High School, she enrolled at Davenport University in Dearborn and obtained an Associate Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in management, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting.
She received a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Michigan in Dearborn. All her degrees were with honors.
Essix joined the U.S. District Court as a procurement specialist in 2007, was promoted to financial supervisor in 2010 and financial manager in 2012.
