Representing Crime Victims

New Top Tips in Ten Minutes

Crime victims often face complicated court proceedings and various interactions with the legal system. This new set of Top Tips in Ten Minutes, drafted by a former prosecutor, provides tools and guidance to help you navigate this process with your client and help them seek justice and healing.

Expanded Receivership Act

Legal Update

2020 PA 210, effective October 15, 2020, substantially amended the Michigan Receivership Act, MCL 554.1011 et seq. This Legal Update outlines some of the most significant changes, including revisions expanding the act to apply generally to most receiverships, rather than only those involving real property.

"Clean Slate" Bills Pass

Legal Update

On October 12, 2020, Governor Whitmer signed a package of bipartisan legislation that reforms Michigan's criminal expungement laws (MCL 780.621 et seq.) to make it easier for individuals to have certain felony and misdemeanor convictions removed from their record. This Legal Update outlines some of the most notable changes.

Changes Affecting Employers

Legal Update

Although significant, the Michigan Supreme Court's invalidation of Governor Whitmer's COVID-19 executive orders does not mean Michigan employers will be unregulated with regard to COVID-19. This new Legal Update outlines some of the developments following the court's ruling, including Michigan Department of Health and Human Services orders, Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules, and new legislation.

No-Fault Updates

Updated Book

No-Fault Automobile Law and Practice in Michigan walks you through every aspect of first-party and third-party practice, breaking down the No-Fault Act and the caselaw interpreting it. Check out the What's New in This Book page for the latest updates, including discussion of new caselaw on fraud, priorities for first-party benefits, and provider litigation.
