A once-in-a-generation chance

The last time there was an open election for judge of the 22nd Circuit Court was way back in 1988, when Melinda Morris won a four-way race. The next once-in-a-generation opportunity comes August 7, when four attorneys are running to succeed Morris, who will retire in January after twenty-four years on the bench.

The field will be cut in half in the nonpartisan August primary. The two candidates with the highest vote totals will face off in the November general election.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
