Supreme Court Shake-up: Justice Kelly to step down from Michigan's highest court

The Detroit News reports that Michigan Supreme Court Justice Mary Beth Kelly will be resigning from the state's highest court to return to private practice on October 1.  It is reported she will be working for the Bodman law firm in Detroit.  Governor Rick Snyder will be be appointing Justice Kelly's replacement.

While Justice Kelly did join the liberal dissent in a recent case involving Right-To-Work in Michigan, when looking at decisions made by the Court she is undoubtedly a part of the 5-member Rule of Law majority on the seven-member Court.

Justice Kelly was elected to the Michigan Supreme Court in 2010, following over a decade of service of the Wayne County Circuit Court.
