Supreme Court records now housed in Archives of Michigan in Lansing
LANSING (AP) -- The Archives of Michigan is now the permanent home of records that document the state's highest court from 1796 to 1857.
They have been united with the Michigan Supreme Court records that date from 1858 to 2000.
In 1932, the Michigan Historical Commission temporarily transferred the early Michigan territorial and state Supreme Court records to University of Michigan Law School professor William W. Blume, who had agreed to process the records and prepare them for publication.
They ended up grouped with some other legal records in the university's Michigan Historical Collections.
State Archivist Mark Harvey says "researchers will be better served by having all" the state Supreme Court records "in their legal home, the Archives of Michigan."
