Installation

The investiture of Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Carla Testani (left) took place October 15 at the Italian American Banquet and Conference Center in Livonia. Testani, who was appointed to the bench by Governor Rick Snyder last spring to fill the seat vacated by Judge Megan Brennan, spent nearly 20 years in private practice, most recently at the Fausone Bohn law firm specializing in family law. A past president of the Wayne County Family Law Bar Association, Testani is a member of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, the Federalist Society, the Incorporated Society of Irish American Lawyers, the Italian American Bar Association of Michigan, and many other associations. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1995 and her law degree from Wayne State University in 1998.

Testani is pictured with U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Joan Larsen, who administered the oath of office at the ceremony. Paul W. Smith of WJR-AM 760 served as emcee at the investiture. Among those offering remarks were Wayne County Circuit Court Chief Judge Robert Colombo Jr.; Judge Kathleen McCarthy; Kathryn Cushman, president of the Wayne County Family Law Bar Association; and Kevin Gentry of Gentry Nalley.
