As chair of the RA he said he plans to continue outreach with Michigan’s tribal courts, address Michigan’s “legal deserts,” and increase RA membership.
Joining Reiser on the RA leadership team are Nicole A. Evans, who will serve as vice chair, and Alena M. Clark, who will serve as clerk.
Reiser is the senior assistant city attorney for the City of Ann Arbor and has been in the role since 2020. Prior to that, he was assistant prosecuting attorney for Washtenaw County and assistant prosecuting attorney for Oakland County.
