 DMBA seeks volunteers to be part of 2014 Judicial Candidate Evaluation Committee

The DMBA is seeking volunteers to participate on its 2014 Judicial Candidate Evaluation Committee.

Members of the Committee will take part in interviews, deliberation and ratings for those Wayne County judicial candidates running in contested elections for the upcoming Primary election.
 
Subject to conflict of interest guidelines, participation on the Judicial Candidate Evaluation Committee is open to all DMBA members, as well as representatives of other Detroit and Wayne County-based bar associations.  All practitioners are welcome, but there is a particular need for those with experience in the criminal, family and probate courts, as well as the County's District Courts.   

Contact Mitzy Sharp Futro at msharpfutro@detroitlawyer.org or 313-961-6120 x201 by June 6 if you have any questions or are interested in volunteering for the JCEC program.
