The State Court Administrative Office has four regional offices located in Detroit, Lansing, Mt. Pleasant, and Gaylord (
see map of counties in each region). Led by a regional administrator, each office provides direct management assistance to trial court chief judges and staff in the administration of judicial business.
The Regional Offices work with the Central Office to implement Supreme Court judicial administration policy, monitor workload and caseflow, and to forge productive working relationships with local judicial system stakeholders.
Primary services include: caseflow management; dispute resolution between trial courts and local government; judicial assignments; liaison between trial courts and state agencies; management assistance; oversight of trial courts; policy implementation in trial courts; and public inquiries.
