Judges, lawyers gather for Bench Bar Conference
Many members of the Macomb County Legal Community gathered recently to discuss trends in the practice of law, examine problems and discuss solutions as well as to continue and promote the tradition of civility in the profession. The annual Bench Bar Conference was held at the ConCorde Inn in Clinton Township, featuring a day of discussions and presentations. One of the highlights of the event was the delivery of the State of the Court address by Macomb County Circuit Court Chief Judge James Biernat Jr. (second row center). He is pictured with (front row, left to right) 37th District Court Chief Judge John Chmura, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Toia, MCBA President-Elect Karen Trickey Pappas, 41-A District Court Judge Kimberley Wiegand, MCBA President Stephen Becker, MCBA Secretary Dawn Prokopec, and Circuit Court Judges Rachel Rancilio and Edward Servitto, along with (second row, from left) 40th District Court Judges Mark Fratarcangeli and 41-B District Court Judge Sebastian Lucido, and (top row, from left) Circuit Court Judges James Maceroni and Carl Marlinga, MCBA Treasurer Jon Biernat and Circuit Court Judge Mark Switalski.
