44th Circuit Court – Livingston County, Michigan
The Circuit Court is a division of the state judiciary, and it serves as a trial court of general jurisdiction serving all the citizens of Livingston County and the townships, cities and villages located within. The court is located at 204 S. Highlander Way, Howell, MI. The courthouse is known as the Trial Court and houses the circuit court and district court all in one building. The courthouse hours are 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Two Judges oversee the court’s docket on a daily basis: Honorable Stanley J. Latreille (Chief Judge) and Honorable David Reader. The court takes a strong stance on dangerous crimes and appropriately addresses all less severe crimes. It has recently been a part of a huge Federal criminal case involving the I-96 shooter—only some of the incidences involved occurred within court’s jurisdiction.
The criminal division of the court will oversee all felony matters; however, it will also oversee or has the jurisdiction to preside over misdemeanor cases and charges. This will generally happen when the misdemeanor charge is also attached to a felony charge. The court also oversees the filing of personal protection orders (PPOs) and other various legal matters both civil and criminal, including crimes committed by juveniles within the court’s jurisdiction.
