CADILLAC â In roughly two weeks, the career of Judge William Fagerman will be over.
Fagerman has been on the bench since he was appointed in April 2007 by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm. Fagerman, who was born and raised in Cadillac, served as thrice-elected prosecuting attorney for Wexford County, as well as an attorney in private practice. He replaced Judge Charles Corwin on the bench, who resigned during his term, which expired starting Jan. 1, 2009.
Fagerman sought re-election twice and won before he was aged out of seeking another term, but even if he wasn t he said he likely would have to step away from the bench after this current term.
