Komjathy appointed to World Medical Relief Advisory Board


 Thomas Komjathy, director of Southeast Michigan operations at Warner Norcross & Judd LLP, has been appointed to the advisory board of World Medical Relief Inc.

World Medical Relief was founded in Detroit in 1953 as a nonprofit organization focused on helping orphans in the wake of the Korean War. While its reach has expanded to more than 100 countries, World Medical Relief continues to serve thousands in Metro Detroit with vital offerings like its Affordable Prescription Program for uninsured low-income residents and its Blanket Relief Program for the homeless.

In addition to his role with World Medical Relief, Komjathy's passion for nonprofits has led him to serve as a board member for the Utility Wind Integration Group, an industry association working to chart the future of renewable energy, and for Rochester Hills Little League, providing instruction in youth baseball and softball.

At Warner Norcross, Komjathy works closely with attorneys and executive partners to develop and implement business strategies to support the firm's continued expansion in Southeast Michigan.

 

Michigan Supreme Court justice promoted to federal bench
 

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen has been promoted to a federal appeals court.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Larsen's nomination Wednesday. President Donald Trump selected her for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Cincinnati-based court hears appeals from Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Larsen has made a remarkable rise in just two years. Gov. Rick Snyder appointed her to the Michigan Supreme Court in 2015. She was elected by voters last year.

She served on the faculty at University of Michigan law school and worked in the administration of President George W. Bush.

Snyder will choose another justice when Larsen leaves the Michigan court.

The Wayne County Probate Court will close at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 7 and all day on Wednesday, Nov. 8 for mandatory employee training. The court will reopen at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 9.
