and seven endorsing organizations submitted comments
to the Michigan Supreme Court in
July 2009 regarding proposed judicial recusal
standards. Michigan is the only state in
the nation that lacks rules to disqualify a justice
from participating in a case due to conflict of
interest, bias, or other improprieties. In March,
the Court published three different proposals for
disqualification standards and accepted public comment
until August 1st. The Court will hold a public
hearing on the proposed standards on September 2nd.
