Michigan Supreme Court

The Michigan Supreme Court is the highest court of the U.S. state of Michigan and its court of last resort, made up of seven justices. It sits in the Michigan Hall of Justice at 925 Ottawa Street in Lansing, the state capital. Most of its cases are requests to review decisions of the Michigan Court of Appeals, but it also hears attorney misconduct matters through the Attorney Grievance Commission and Attorney Discipline Board, judicial misconduct through the Judicial Tenure Commission, and a small number of matters within its original jurisdiction. It also oversees the operation of all state trial courts with the help of the State Court Administrative Office. The court traces its lineage to the Supreme Court of Michigan Territory, established in 1805 with three justices, and it was the only court created by the first state constitution of 1835.
