Article VI, Section 3 of the Michigan Constitution States that the Michigan Supreme Court "shall appoint an administrator of the courts and other assistants of the supreme court as may be necessary to aid in the administration of the courts of this state." The Supreme Court has administrative oversight of Michigan's courts and exercises that oversight through the SCAO." [1]

Justice Weaver steps down from Michigan Supreme Court

Michigan: Justice Elizabeth Weaver resigned unexpectedly from the Michigan Supreme Court today. About only one month ago, Weaver announced that she would run for re-election as an Independent. [1]

According to the Traverse City Record Eagle, "Weaver said she would not have resigned without Granholm's agreement to select a northern Michigan replacement." [2]

That appointment was announced by Governor Jennifer Granholm this afternoon. Alton Davis, of the Michigan Fourth District Court of Appeals, will join the Michigan Supreme Court. The appointment is effective immediately and not subject to any approval. [3]
