In 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Michigan Supreme Court used the extraordinary measure of taking superintending control over all the local district/trial courts in Michigan.

The Court has opened this issue up for commentary. Many voices have been raised in opposition. We at Paletz Law join those who are against this highly dubious and unconstitutional maneuver.
