Order
Michigan Order is a court order issued by the Michigan Supreme Court that sets out the framework for the state court system in Michigan. The order is designed to ensure uniformity of court operation and procedures throughout the state. The Michigan Order includes provisions for the organization of the court system, the selection of judges, the structure of court procedures, and the administration of justice. The Michigan Order is divided into seven parts. The first part defines the judicial power of the state and establishes the Supreme Court of Michigan as the highest court in the state. The second part outlines the organizational structure of the court system, establishing the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, the circuit courts, the district courts, and the probate courts. The third part addresses the selection and appointment of judges, as well as their terms of office. The fourth part outlines court procedures, including rules of evidence, civil procedure, criminal law, and appellate procedure. The fifth part describes the administrative responsibilities of the courts. The sixth part establishes the Michigan Judicial Institute and the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission. The seventh part discusses the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct. The Michigan Order also includes several types of orders: general orders, which are issued by the Supreme Court and apply to all courts, circuit orders, which apply only to the circuit courts, and local orders, which apply only to certain counties and cities.
