Upholding Justice at the Highest Level
Michigan First District serves as the Detroit based district office of the Michigan Court of Appeals, the state’s intermediate appellate court. The court reviews appeals from lower courts and issues opinions that help keep Michigan law applied consistently across the state.
Court of Appeals panels decide most cases based on the record from the trial court and the written briefs filed by the parties. In limited situations, the Court of Appeals can also hear certain original actions such as mandamus or superintending control.
