LANSING State Court Administrator Thomas Boyd says the use of online platforms such as Zoom to conduct court proceedings is “the biggest boost to access to justice in our lifetimes,” and it will continue long after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
Boyd sent a statewide memo to judges and court administrators last week that said several judicial pandemic orders will likely become permanent as Michigan emerges from the crisis, including one that says all judges “are required to make a good-faith effort to conduct proceedings remotely whenever possible.”

Armed Michigan “militia” members, some who are accused in the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, attended a May 30 Black Lives Matter rally in Detroit. They were on the protesters’ side, the FBI says.
While right-wing, anti-government movements are often accused of exhibiting racist tendencies, court testimony on three Wolverine Watchmen members charged with terrorism in the Whitmer case exhibited support for multiracial causes.
FBI Special Agent Henrik Impola, who’s testified over the last two days in a Jackson County preliminary hearing, questioned whether the motive was to defend protesters or to attack police if violence erupted.
