imageContempt of Court Benchbook—Fourth Edition

(112 pages; ©2008) This book can be viewed online or downloaded by chapter or as a single file. See below.

The Contempt of Court Benchbook—Fourth Edition contains chapters on the nature of the contempt power, distinguishing civil and criminal contempt, procedural requirements, sanctions, and common forms of contempt. The Fourth Edition also contains a contempt flowchart and checklists for conducting summary, civil, and criminal contempt proceedings.

The content in this electronic version of the Contempt of Court Benchbook is the same as the content in the printed version of the benchbook mailed to trial court judges. This electronic version of the benchbook includes hyperlinks to statutory law, court rules, and other MJI publications cited in the benchbook's text, as well as direct links to the cross-references noted within the benchbook itself. Links to published Michigan case law will be added when MJI finalizes access to approved versions of the electronic opinions.

We welcome your suggestions on how we might improve our efforts. Please contact us should you encounter any difficulties with the hyperlinks included in the text.
