Three more forums are being planned in September ahead of the November general election for the Michigan Court of Appeal-2nd District, Oakland County Probate Court and 46th District Court races. More information will be provided at a later date.
These forums are the result of a partnership between the Oakland County Bar Association, the League of Women Voters-Oakland Area, the Oakland County Legal News and the Oakland County Times that sponsors forums in all contested judicial races in Oakland County. The purpose of this partnership is to disseminate information about judicial candidates in their communities to help voters become more knowledgeable and informed, encouraging participation in Oakland County judicial elections.
The forums are open to the public and will be recorded so they may be available for online viewing or potentially aired on local cable stations where available.
Additionally, all candidates have been asked to complete a Judicial Candidate Questionnaire. The completed questionnaires as well as specific information about each forum are available on the OCBA website at ocba.org/judicial_candidates. The questionnaires are posted exactly as the candidates submitted them.
