Candidate forum conducted
Choosing a judge to rule on cases and issue judgments should be an informed decision. To help Oakland County voters with that decision, the Oakland County Bar Association (OCBA) has partnered with the League of Women Voters-Oakland Area, the Oakland County Legal News, and the Oakland County Times to host Judicial Candidate Forums for all judicial races in Oakland County where there are contested seats. One of these forums took place Thursday, September 12, at the Southfield Public Library and featured Oakland County 46th District Court candidates (left to right) Oakland County 46th District Court Judge Debra Nance and Robin Dillard-Russaw. The final forum will be conducted Thursday, September 26, at the OCBA offices (1760 S. Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills) between Michigan Court of Appeals, 2nd District, candidates Matthew S. Ackerman and Latoya Marie Willis. The forums are open to the public and are recorded so that they may be available for online viewing on the OCBA website or potentially aired on local cable stations where available. Additionally, all candidates have been asked to complete a Judicial Candidate Questionnaire. The completed questionnaires as well as specific information about each forum are available on the OCBA website at ocba.org/judicial_candidates.
