Gov. Rick Snyder recently announced the appointment of John D. Maurer to the 56th Circuit Court of Eaton County.
"John brings extensive knowledge and valuable experience to the bench, and I am confident he will successfully serve the people of Eaton County," Snyder said.
Maurer served as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Clinton County after working as a partner in the Grand Ledge law firm of Deming & Maurer for two decades. He also served as the Mulliken Village Attorney from 2000-2008 and is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, the Eaton County Bar Association and the Clinton County Bar Association.
Maurer, who earned a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and a law degree from Cooley Law School, fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Jeffrey Sauter who Sauter retired at the end of April after three years as a judge.
Maurer must seek election in November 2018 to be retained for the balance of Judge Sauter's current term and again in November 2020 for a new six-year term.
