On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Timothy Ferrand of the Firm’s Sterling Heights office gave a presentation to the Insurance Association of Metro Detroit, Inc. at its January membership meeting.

Mr. Ferrand spoke on the legal effects of the recent changes to the Michigan Supreme Court, discussing the makeup of the Michigan Supreme Court for the past ten years and the shift created by the 2008 election in which Judge Hathaway, a Democrat, defeated Judge Taylor, a Republican. The group discussed the effects the political change could potentially have in the law relating to automobile no-fault liability, the rules of recusal, governmental tort liability and insurance coverage.
