A poll at Michigan Lawyers Weekly, a non-partisan journal for Michigan lawyers, finds strong disagreement with the Wall Street Journal article suggesting that the Michigan Supreme Court deserves praise. I posted on this article previously here.
The last I looked, almost 89% of those responding (which would overwhelmingly be comprised of Michigan lawyers and judges, both plaintiff and defense) disagreed with the article. Of course, attorneys in Michigan already know this as defense lawyers and trial judges are as likely to make jokes about our Supreme Court as are plaintiffs lawyers. When a the state's top court becomes a political joke to the members of the bench and bar, we have to wonder if our Michigan judiciary will ever recover from the damage being done to the court's reputation.
