A Message from President Bell
Dear ABJM Members:
A member of the National Center for State Courts JTC Audit Team stated in a response email to the ACLU of Michigan that “Once we have results from our analyses, we will discuss next steps and whether additional information from interviews about the process are warranted to clarify our findings.” Based on this statement, the ABJM Executive Officers agreed to be proactive and begin compiling a list of members who would be willing to submit to an interview. We want to be prepared to provide them with names immediately if we are approached by the audit team. This list of names will be maintained confidentially by President-Elect Martin and only submitted to the audit team if they request that we help them identify persons willing to be interviewed.
If you believe you have critical insight into the JTC process and you are willing to be interviewed, please send a confidential email to President-Elect Martin using the email button link below.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Judge Martin. Thank you.
Curtis J. Bell
ABJM President
