After a new civil complaint is filed in the Clerk’s Office, subsequent pleadings must be filed electronically on the court’s eFiling website: https:/efile.macombcountymi.govExtending Summons: Requests to extend the summons must be accompanied by a motion & proposed order & must be submitted prior to expiration of the original summons. Such requests will only be granted upon a showing of due diligence by plaintiff in attempting to serve the original summonsFacilitative Mediation: Requests to submit a case to facilitative mediation under MCR 2.410 and 2.411 may be made by stipulation. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, the Court will select a mediator in the manner provided by MCR 2.411 (B)(3). The Court will generally require that facilitation occur within 60 days, unless good cause is shown for an extension.Scheduling Orders: For most civil cases, Court Administration issues the standard Discover & Case Evaluation Order. At the Status Conference prior to Early Disposition Settlement Conference, the Judge will review the dates & amend as necessary. Requests to extend the scheduling order dates must be made by motion & only will be granted upon showing a good cause. If a Case Evaluation Hearing has already been scheduled, the parties must pay the $150 adjournment fee prior to submitting the order for entry.Status Conferences Prior to Early Disposition Settlement Conferences: The attorneys attending the conference must be thoroughly familiar with the case & have the authority necessary to fully participate in the conference.

A party whose presence is excused must be available by telephone. If a matter is resolved & an order of dismissal is entered before the conference date, the attorneys & parties need not appear for the conference.Trial Procedures & New Jury Management Rules: The Court’s trial procedures are contained in its Trial Procedure Order, which is issued when a case is scheduled for trial. The Michigan Supreme Court has amended several of the rules governing the conduct of jury trials. Although a majority of the new rules are discretionary with the court, & may not be applicable in every case, it is Judge Foster’s practice to provide jurors with a reference notebook (MCR 2.513(E); to allow jurors to take notes (MCR 2.513(H) & ask questions (MCR 2.513(I); and to allow juror discussion in civil cases (MCR 2.531(K). Trial Counsel must be familiar with the amended court rules & should note changes from the former rules. Any issues that may arise concerning application of the new jury manage-ment rules may be addressed formally in a motion or informally at a Settlement or Status Conference.

There are larger Michigan law firms, but none that match
our combined expertise and reputation in the employment
and labor law field. Since its founding in 1997, Kienbaum
Opperwall Hardy & Pelton has been repeatedly recognized
as Michigan’s top-rated employment and labor law firm.
KOHP brings together the talent, skill and technological
capability of a large national firm into a Michigan based
“boutique” practice with an exclusive focus on complex
workplace issues.
