Getting to know the judges
The Michigan Defense Trial Counsel recently hosted its Meet the Judges event at the Detroit Golf Club. The reception provided an opportunity for members of the judiciary and bar to interact in a friendly and relaxed environment, free of the stresses of the courtroom. Among those enjoying the event were (seated, left to right) Oakland County 44th District Court Judge Andrew Kowalkowski, Wayne County 36th District Court Judge Chastiy Youngblood, Wayne County 31st District Court Judge Alexis Krot, Oakland County 52-3 District Court Judge Laura Polizzi, and Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Adrienne G. Scruggs; along with (standing, left to right) Mike Jolet of Hewson & Van Hellemont PC; Amanda Waske of Rosati, Schultz, Joppich, & Amtsbuechler; Donn Fresard; Anthony Randazzo of Secrest Wardle; and Brandon Schumacher of Foster, Swift, Collins, & Smith PC.
