From the “Internet“:
The “verdict” is not a good one for the Michigan Supreme Court. A University Of Chicago Law School ranking of the nation’s 50 state supreme courts lists Michigan’s at the bottom. The research combined such measures as judicial independence from political or outside influences, its numbers of published opinions, and how often the court’s decisions are referenced in rulings by other courts.
Traverse City attorney Tim Smith is concerned about the impact the report will have on the state’s image.
“As an attorney, I can’t disagree with it and I can’t say I’m surprised. And, as a member of the State Bar of Michigan, I’m embarrassed.”
