Attorney Kerene Moore announces candidacy for Michigan Court of Appeals
Attorney S. Kerene Moore has announced her candidacy for the upcoming open seat on Michigan’s Third District Court of Appeals being vacated by Judge David A. Sawyer at the end of 2022.
Moore is currently a judicial attorney in the Washtenaw County Circuit Court, and has previously served as an attorney for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and Legal Services of S. Central Michigan, where she has represented more 1,000 low-income Michigan residents.
“Throughout my career, I’ve fought for civil rights, stopped countless evictions, stabilized families, advocated to expand human rights protections, and challenged unjust legal decisions,” Moore said. “I embrace our justice system and if elected, my commitment to you is that I won’t just fill a spot — I will stand up for fair access to justice for everyone.”
Chief Court of Appeals Judge Elizabeth Gleicher in a statement said, “[F]rom the outset of her career, Kerene has devoted her talents to improving access to justice and community outreach. She would bring to the Court of Appeals precisely the array of background experiences that the Court of Appeals judges need to fulfill our obligation to achieve justice for all litigants.”
Moore has a long record of community service, currently serving as vice chair of the Ann Arbor District Library Board Trustees and as a supervising attorney for Outreach with Michigan Law’s Outlaws, a project she founded. She has also served on the Ann Arbor Human Rights Commission and the boards of the Jim Toy Community Center and Equality Michigan. Her commitment to public service has earned her several awards, including the Washtenaw County Bar Association’s MLK “I have a dream” award and the University of Michigan Law School’s Kevin E. Kennedy Pro Bono Award.
