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 are 2 Chief Judges of the Courts in Livingston County. The Courts work together to be
as coordinated and effective as possible, and Administrators for the Courts
