'Election Law and Procedure Webinar' offered for judges

The Michigan Judicial Institute will present an “Election Law and Procedure Webinar” on Tuesday, July 26, from 3 to 4:15 p.m. via Zoom.  

This webinar is designed for the trial court judge assigned to handle pre-election day, election day, and post-election litigation. Faculty will review common legal issues arising from elections as well as litigation issues typically raised on Election Day; the guiding authorities for responding to those issues; and the manner in which the issues are likely to come before the court. In addition, faculty will identify potential new areas of litigation that may arise following the 2022 gubernatorial election.

The goals of the webinar are to familiarize judges with the various Michigan election law authorities (statutes and caselaw), provide information that will serve as a resource for any judge faced with potential election law litigation, and assist the judge in issuing an accurate and expedient decision.

Registration for the webinar is limited to judges who may handle an election-related matter. To register, visit https://mjieducation.mi.gov and click on “events.”
