To confirm contact information, attorneys should first log into the Member Area at michbar.org/MemberArea. Under the Profile heading, click “Manage” to check and/or edit contact information.

Notice


The Michigan Court of Appeals will permanently close its Clerk’s Office location in the Columbia Center in Troy, effective Aug. 31. 

The staff handling the cases arising out of the court’s Second District will merge with the clerk’s office facility located at Cadillac Place in Detroit at 3020 West Grand Blvd.

The Detroit office will thereafter handle the combined cases from the court’s First and Second Districts.

Reducing the court’s footprint in this way will improve operational efficiency while saving the state over $450,000 each year in leasing costs, according to the court.

Contact the clerk’s office at 517-373-0786 or coa_clerk@courts.mi.gov with any questions.
