While the Michigan Supreme Court normally hears oral argument at the Michigan Hall of Justice in Lansing, the justices and staff travel to various communities as part of “Court Community Connections,” which the Supreme Court started in 2007 as a public education program aimed principally at high school students. The Michigan Supreme Court was on the road in River Rouge on Oct. 19. The court was hosted by the City of River Rouge and River Rouge High School. The court heard oral argument in Michael A. Ray, Jacqueline M. Ray, as Co-Conservators for Kersch Ray, a Minor, v Eric Swager, and Scott Allen Platt, Heather Marie Platt, and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.
