The State Bar of Michigan reports that a prominent group of judges and attorneys met on October 23, 2009 at the Michael Franck Building in Lansing to begin its work of identifying how Michigan’s justice system can meet the needs of the public in the face of major economic changes in the state. Members of the Judicial Crossroads Task Force heard a presentation from the National Center for State Courts on how other states are coping with similar issues. The work of the Task Force is supported by four committees: access to justice, business impact, court structure and resources, and technology. The next Task Force meeting is scheduled for March 2010.
