The Michigan Supreme Court will hear the first oral arguments of its new session January 23. Two of the seven justices on the court won their seats in November’s statewide election. Morning Edition host Doug Tribou spoke with the newly elected justices: Megan Cavanagh and Elizabeth Clement.
Justice Megan Cavanagh is beginning her first term on the Supreme Court. Cavanagh spent much of her legal career as an appellate attorney with a Detroit law firm. She was nominated by the Democratic Party.
Justice Elizabeth Clement won her first full term. Former Governor Rick Snyder appointed her to fill a vacancy on the bench in 2017. She was nominated by the Republican party in the 2018 election.
