When you’re planning to vote, it's easy to focus on the top of the ticket. But what about all those other important contests farther down the ballot?

This year, Michigan votes on two races for the Michigan Supreme Court. The state’s highest court has decided some pretty big issues in the past five years. Need voters sift through thousands of pages of written opinions to be informed? And what about candidates aspiring to this court, who may or may not have judicial records?

On this episode, a look at how Michigan’s highest court gets elected, and how you might vet the candidates before you vote.

GUEST:

Nicholas Bagley, Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, and a former chief legal counsel to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, for two periods in 2020 and 2022.
