Two—    Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget McCormack is retiring by the end of the year. She told Governor Whitmer of her decision, and the governor praised her for her work on the state's highest court. McCormack was sworn in as a justice in 2013 and has been chief justice since January 2019. She says it's time to move on and let others lead.
