Chief Judge Jon Van Allsburg gave us a history of court jurisdiction in Michigan and how it enabled Ottawa to combine services for families in one location. Michigan has 3 courts: District, Circuit, and Probate. Circuit courts have general jurisdiction, district courts handle criminal misdemeanor cases, and probate courts handle wills, estates, and competency hearings. Eventually, the state moved all cases regarding families to the circuit courts. The goal was to have "one family, one judge". This gives better service to families because the judge can understand all of the factors when rendering judgments.
