There are
six elected judges in Livingston
County. Judges are
elected to a six year term and are elected to serve in a specific court. There
are three Circuit Court judges, one
Probate Court judge and two District Court seats.
In practice, judges are routinely assigned to cases that are not technically in
the court where they are elected to serve, but that are assigned based on plans
made by the local courts and approved by the Michigan Supreme Court's State
Court Administrative Office to serve the community as efficiently and
effectively as possible. There is one Chief Judge of all of the Courts in Livingston County. The courts work together to be
as coordinated and effective as possible, and administrators for the courts
serve on an Administrative Council, to coordinate activities and achieve
efficiencies.

judges are as follows, click on each judge's name for more information:
