Top court unveils enhanced public appointment process
To boost public engagement and increase transparency of the judicial system, the Michigan Supreme Court has announced a new, public component to the appointment process.
The court makes appointments or nominates people to the governor for appointment for 15 different groups.
The opportunities to join those groups will be posted on a new webpage (www.courts.michigan.gov/courts/supreme-court/appointment-opportunities) as they become available.
To implement the new process, the court also announced immediate openings for a layperson on the Attorney Discipline Board, a layperson and two attorneys on the Attorney Grievance Commission, and an attorney on the State Bar of Michigan Board of Commissioners.
The application deadline for all is August 1.
For more information and detailed vacancy announcements, visit the appointment opportunities webpage at www.courts.michigan.gov/courts/supreme-court/appointment-opportunities.
Medical matters on webinar agenda
The Michigan Judicial Institute (MJI) and Friend of the Court Bureau (FOCB) will present the webinar “A Prescription to Cure Medical Support and Enforcement Aches and Pains” on Thursday, July 27, from 9 to 10 a.m. via Zoom.
This webinar is intended for friend of the court office staff and child support program professionals.
This session will provide the script needed to avoid the headaches when determining ordinary medical expenses (OME) and enforcement of OME and additional medical.
It will cover background information about why OME exists and what expenses are included. The discussion will also provide ideas about when it may be appropriate to change the presumed amount of OME and why that could be beneficial.
