Elsenheimer Named Chief Judge Of Circuit, Probate Courts

By Beth Milligan | Dec. 13, 2019

The Michigan Supreme Court has announced that Kevin A. Elsenheimer has been named Chief Judge of the Thirteenth Circuit Court (Antrim, Grand Traverse, and Leelanau counties) and the Probate Courts for Antrim, Grand Traverse, and Leelanau Counties’ Probate Courts.

Every other year, the Michigan Supreme Court undertakes an extensive application and review process to select chief judges for all 242 courts statewide. Each chief judge "brings strengths to the job that are appropriate to address the challenges the court is facing at the time," according to a court press release. Elsenheimer was appointed Circuit Court Judge in 2017 to replace the retiring Judge Philip E.  Rodgers, Jr.

“I was honored to succeed Judge Rodgers on the circuit bench, and he set the standard when it came to excellence and innovation, so my goal is to build on his outstanding record of service,” says Elsenheimer. “The public deserves courts that are independent, accessible, engaged, and efficient, and we have outstanding staff throughout area courts who work very hard to make sure the public receives the highest level of customer service.”
