Magistrate judge selected at U.S. District Court

U.S. District Court Chief Judge Gerald Rosen, Eastern District of Michigan, announced this week that David R. Grand has been selected for appointment as a magistrate judge. A resident of Ann Arbor, Grand obtained his bachelor's degree from Indiana University and his juris doctor from the University of Michigan Law School. He currently is an attorney with Miller Canfield in Ann Arbor. Grand was one of candidates nominated by a court-appointed Merit Selection Panel from a field of 72 applicants. The panel was chaired by attorney Thomas McNeill. Other panel members included attorneys Mark Bernstein, Stephanie Davis, Krystal Johnson, Fred Mester, Miriam Siefer, and Eric Straus. Non-attorney members of the panel were Lizabeth Ardisana, Joyce Hayes-Giles, Mel Larsen, and Michael Thomson. According to Rosen, Grand's selection will be forwarded to the Administrative office of the United States Courts in Washington, D.C., which will initiate the required background checks by the FBI and the IRS. Upon the successful completion of those investigations, Grand will be sworn in as a magistrate judge and will serve in Ann Arbor. He would fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan. Published: Thu, Jul 21, 2011
