The Michigan court system serves all residents through two courts of law — the Genesee County District Court and the Supreme Court. Find cases, access records, and navigate the legal system from this unified portal.
Lansing, Michigan
The Supreme Court is the final authority on Michigan law. Seven justices hear appeals of significant legal questions, interpret the state constitution, and issue binding opinions across all courts. Justices are elected statewide during the annual general election (January 1 – December 31) and serve one-year terms.
Flint, Michigan
The Genesee County District Court handles all trial matters for Genesee County with no jurisdictional limits — criminal, civil, traffic, and felony proceedings. The Chief Judge is elected countywide each year. Associate judges are appointed by the Governor from a nonpartisan commission shortlist. Magistrates are appointed by the Chief Judge.
