Wayne County Family Domestic Division resuming in-person filings
The Wayne County Circuit Court Family Domestic Division currently uses an email filing system to receive filings due to the ongoing COVD-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, there is currently a backlog. The Third Circuit Court and the Wayne County Clerk are taking steps to address the backlog of domestic relations filings.
Starting Tuesday, March 1, those seeking to file new cases, motions, and other pleadings with the Family Domestic Division of the Third Judicial Circuit Court will have to do so in-person. Personal Protection Order petitions and motions related to the same shall continue to be filed electronically.
Chief Judge Timothy M. Kenny issued an order last Friday, February 25, available on the court’s website at www.3rdcc.org detailing the return to in-person filings.
All parties and/or attorneys visiting CAYMC for any purpose must answer health screening questions prior to entry to CAYMC. In addition, all parties and/or attorneys must wear masks upon entry to and throughout their time at CAYMC. This includes while conducting court business.
The current remote email filing system for domestic cases will be halted on March 1. No further filings will be accepted by the system after February 28, 2022. The Wayne County Clerk’s Office will continue processing the filings submitted via the remote email filing system. The Court continues to work to develop a new electronic filing system that it intends to implement at a future date.
For further details about the changes to the Family Domestic Division filings, visit the Third Circuit Court Family Division — Domestic Relations Section page on the court’s website at 3rdcc.org.
For further questions, call the Family Domestic Deputy Court Administrator at 313-224-6639.
‘Three Justices Webinar’ looks at state’s first female justices March 16
The Women Lawyers Association of Michigan will celebrate Women’s History Month with a look at the first women of the Michigan Supreme Court during its “Three Justices Webinar” on Wednesday, March 16, from noon to 1 p.m.
At a time when women had few professional career choices and even fewer became judges, Justices Mary S. Coleman, Dorothy Comstock Riley, and Patricia J. Boyle rose to challenges and seized opportunities that brought them to the state’s highest court in the 1970s-1990s.
Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center Director Rachael Drenovsky will share insights into these women’s life stories and the choices they made to work in the legal field.
