Chief Justice Kelly Comments on US Supreme Court Ruling
A ruling on judicial qualification by the U.S. Supreme Court will play a role as Michigan formulates its own disqualification policy for justices of the Michigan Supreme Court, according to Chief Justice Marilyn KELLY.
In a 5-4 ruling yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court said that a West Virginia justice should have not participated in decisions overturning a $50-million judgment against the company whose chief executive had been the most generous supporter of that justice's election campaign. By so doing, the justice deprived the other litigant of the constitutional right to a fair trial, the majority said.

Today she is at the center of a closely-watched Supreme Court case Wyeth v. Levine and a national debate about the federal courts and corporate accountability.
