Welcome to the redesigned web page for
rule amendments, proposed rules, and administrative orders!
As you will notice, the proposed rules are now grouped in categories according to the section of the rules they would amend. If you are only interested in proposed amendments of the probate rules, for example, you can click on the heading for Chapter 5 Probate Rules and go directly to the group of proposals that would amend probate rules. We hope that this change will make it easier to find the information that is most useful to you. If you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to send them to msc-info@courts.mi.gov.

Your
feedback is important and will be carefully considered by the Justices
of the Michigan Supreme Court in deciding whether to adopt proposed rule
changes. Online comments should be submitted to MSC_Clerk@courts.mi.gov. To comment using
U.S. mail, please write to:
Michigan Supreme Court,
Clerk's Office,
