Lots written these days about what new has happened at the Michigan Supreme Court and what improvements are occurring.
However when observer says it is interesting that while the rest of government is focused on diversity and inclusion, this court is all white and all urban/suburban.
The Michigan political parties nominate people to the court and they run for election statewide. So they are responsible for who is nominated. They nominate people they think can win and that means the candidates come from the most populous areas—urban and suburban Michigan. It is confusing with that said why both parties do not think about racial and geographic diversity on the court.
How do we reform this process and how do we make the court more inclusive and more diverse? Amend the constitution? Or the political parties do their job and focus on their nominating process and focus on the inclusion and diversity issue in the judiciary.
