The Oakland County
44th District Court proudly unveiled a permanent memorial wall
highlighting the life and career of the late 44th District Court Judge
Jamie Wittenberg. After having led a distinguished career as an
assistant prosecutor and district court judge, Wittenberg was diagnosed
with glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, and passed
away on November 21, 2022. An effort to preserve his legacy was
initiated by a collaboration between the Royal Oak Historical Society,
the Berkley Historical Committee, the Wittenberg family, and the 44th
District Court judges. All funding for the memorial wall came from
private contributions from family, friends, attorneys, and judges who
wanted to pay tribute to Wittenberg’s career in service. Oakland County
44th District Court Chief Judge Derek Meinecke (far right) was happy to
welcome Wittenberg’s wife and children at the dedication ceremony which
took place Wednesday, May 27, at Royal Oak City Hall and the 44th
District Court. “It is so important that Judge Wittenberg’s service be
highlighted and preserved in this way,” said Meinecke. “He made a real
difference in the lives of so many who appeared before him, and we are
all so grateful that he was our judge.”
