In Michigan, judges serving on the District Courts play a vital role in the state’s local justice system — and because these positions are elected, judicial elections hold particular importance.
District court judges preside over a wide range of cases, including civil disputes involving up to $25,000, landlord-tenant conflicts, traffic and ordinance violations, and misdemeanor criminal offenses punishable by up to one year in jail. They also handle arraignments, set bail, and conduct preliminary examinations in felony cases.
Because so many criminal proceedings begin in district court — and because this is often the public’s first or most frequent interaction with the legal system — the decisions made here directly affect individuals’ rights, public safety, and the overall fairness of justice in the community.
First, since Michigan’s district court judges are elected on nonpartisan ballots to serve six-year terms, citizens have the power to decide who will hold that authority and influence how justice is administered locally.
Second, the quality of justice depends heavily on the judge’s ability to apply the law accurately, protect constitutional rights, remain impartial, and manage court resources effectively. Skilled, fair-minded judges strengthen public confidence and promote justice, while ineffective judges can erode trust and produce unjust outcomes.
Finally, because district court is often where people first experience the judicial system — whether as a plaintiff, defendant, or traffic violator — these courts set the tone for how justice feels in practice. Decisions about bail, hearings, and preliminary examinations can influence what happens later in higher courts.
For all these reasons, it’s essential for voters to stay informed about judicial candidates, reviewing their experience, temperament, record, and judicial philosophy. Participating in judicial elections is not just a right — it’s a civic responsibility that helps shape the fairness and integrity of our justice system.
