This week the Michigan Supreme Court announced it is reorganizing the regional administrative structure in the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) to improve service to trial courts. The new plan expands the number of regional administrators and realigns coverage areas so that services to trial courts can be more focused and timely. Regional administrators provide direct support to trial courts and review their operations to ensure compliance with statutes, court rules, administrative orders, and the code of judicial conduct. Additionally, they investigate and resolve public complaints, provide management assistance, and monitor court performance on a wide range of issues. “Under the guidance of the Michigan Supreme Court’s Chief Justice, Robert Young, SCAO has made several reforms in an effort to make the state’s court system more efficient for all parties,” stated Cami Pendell of MLC.
