re: Part Time Attorney Magistrate Position
Dear Ms. Palulian:
Please consider me to become a part-time attorney magistrate for your court.
I currently am a part-time magistrate in the 45 District Court and have been with the
court since Apri12006. However, because my wife and I will be moving to West Bloomfield
sometime this summer and will be out of the 45th' s geographic area, I no longer will be able
to be a magistrate in the 45th. At the court I perform all the permitted functions of a
magistrate as well as maintain the court's library. Except when I am on vacation, I handle
all the court's small claim cases. Because of my background, the court regularly assigns me
to mediate cases for the judges. When there are court holiday closures on a weekday, I
handle arraignments and operate the video equipment inasmuch as I am a certified electronic
operator.
I look forward to meeting you and your judges.
Sincerely yours,
SGL:s
