Dates for list of Chief Justices[edit]

Would putting in the dates of their being C.J. be a good thing? 7&6=thirteen (talk) 13:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Wikilinks for Justices[edit]

I know that some of the pages for Justices were created with just first and last names, and all of the links in the page have first and last names with middle initials. I know that this was causing problems for some Justices, and I fixed it for the current ones, but I don't have time to go through all of them right now. If somebody wanted to do that, that would be great. Inks.LWC (talk) 22:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link for William A. Fletcher (1788-1852) leads to a different William A. Fletcher (1945-). Here is the incorrect link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_A._Fletcher Brynnr (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Justice Zahra?[edit]

When should the article be updated to reflect this past week's appointment by incoming governor Rick Snyder of Brian Zahra (to replace Maura Corrigan, whom Snyder tapped to head the Department of Human Services)?

I see Michigan Radio has reported that the appointment would be effective this past Friday, January 14.

"Lead Position Ends"[edit]

What does this portion of the infobox mean? If it is meant to communicate when Young's current term as C.J. ends, it is wrong; the Court elects a Chief Justice at its first meeting of every odd-numbered year, which is to say, every other year. (Of course, nothing says Young can't be re-elected as Chief.) MrArticleOne (talk) 22:18, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retirements[edit]

Back in December, someone flip-flopped the retirement deadlines of Justices Viviano and Bernstein. This was incorrect. Viviano turns 70 in 2041. He is up for re-election in 2024, 2032, 2040, and 2048, meaning the first election after he turns 70 will be 2048 and his deadline is Jan. 1, 2049. Bernstein turns 70 in 2044. He is up for re-election in 2022, 2030, 2038, and 2046, meaning the first election after he turns 70 will be 2046 and his deadline is Jan. 1, 2047.
