Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today praised Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth "Betty" Weaver for her lifelong effort to protect Michigan's children and young people and her unwavering commitment to an independent, fair and balanced judicial system. The governor's comments followed Weaver's announcement that she has resigned from the state's highest court. Her resignation became effective at 11:00 a.m. today.
Granholm also announced the appointment of Judge Alton Thomas Davis to serve as a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, filling the vacancy created by Weaver's resignation. Davis, of Grayling, currently serves on the 4th District Court of Appeals. Prior to being appointed to the Court of Appeals by Granholm in 2005, Davis served as chief judge of the 46th Circuit Court representing Crawford, Kalkaska and Otsego counties.
