What We Do
The Amicus Committee is responsible for recommending positions on and writing Amicus Curiae briefs in selected family law-related cases in the Michigan Courts, usually at the Supreme Court level.
How You Can Get Involved
The first step is to be a Family Law Section Member (you are not required to be a council member), then contact either of the co-chairs above to inform them of your intention to attend or participate. We believe that it is best to have input and ideas from as many practitioners as possible.
Meetings
Meetings are typically held the third Wednesday of the month via Zoom. If interested in attending a meeting, please email either the chair or the co-chair for the Zoom link.
Disclaimer
Our committee and chair(s) do not speak for the State Bar of Michigan nor the Family Law Section, but rather provide recommendations to the Family Law Section. For the State Bar of Michigan position on any given subject, please contact the State Bar of Michigan directly. For the Family Law Section position on any given subject, please contact the Family Law section Chair directly.
