The Oakland County 44th District Court proudly unveiled a permanent memorial wall highlighting the life and career of the late 44th District Court Judge Jamie Wittenberg. After having led a distinguished career as an assistant prosecutor and district court judge, Wittenberg was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, and passed away on November 21, 2022. An effort to preserve his legacy was initiated by a collaboration between the Royal Oak Historical Society, the Berkley Historical Committee, the Wittenberg family, and the 44th District Court judges. All funding for the memorial wall came from private contributions from family, friends, attorneys, and judges who wanted to pay tribute to Wittenberg’s career in service. Oakland County 44th District Court Chief Judge Derek Meinecke (far right) was happy to welcome Wittenberg’s wife and children at the dedication ceremony which took place Wednesday, May 27, at Royal Oak City Hall and the 44th District Court. “It is so important that Judge Wittenberg’s service be highlighted and preserved in this way,” said Meinecke. “He made a real difference in the lives of so many who appeared before him, and we are all so grateful that he was our judge.”
