The
Office of the Prosecuting Attorney represents the People of the State
of Michigan in prosecuting all misdemeanor and felony cases as well
as formal civil infraction hearings and appeals to all higher courts
including the Michigan Court of Appeals, Michigan Supreme Court and
the US Supreme Court. The Prosecutor appears for the state or county
and prosecutes or defends in all of the courts of the county, all
prosecutions, suits, applications, and motions, whether civil or criminal,
in which the state or county may be an interested party. The Prosecutor
is also legal counsel for the County, but is seldom called upon to
fulfill that role.
Other areas include all proceedings in Probate Court, juvenile delinquency
as well as abuse and neglect cases on behalf of the Family Independence
Agency, the Clinton County Gun Board, driver license restoration hearings
on behalf of the Secretary of State, drug forfeiture cases, zoning
cases, paternity cases, and mental commitment proceedings.
