A poll at Michigan Lawyers
Weekly, a non-partisan journal for Michigan lawyers, finds strong
disagreement with the Wall Street Journal article suggesting that the Michigan
Supreme Court deserves praise.
The last I looked, almost 89% of those responding (which
would overwhelmingly be comprised of Michigan lawyers and judges, both plaintiff
and defense) disagreed with the article. Of course, attorneys in Michigan
already know this as defense lawyers and trial judges are as likely to make
jokes about our Supreme Court as are plaintiffs lawyers. When a the state’s top
court becomes a political joke to the members of the bench and bar, we have to
wonder if our Michigan judiciary will ever recover from the damage being done to
the court’s reputation.
