This morning on livestream, Judge William Baillargeon announced his resignation.
The Michigan State Bar website caught up shortly after.
When I asked Judge Baillargeon for comment and sent well wishes, he thanked me for my kind words, and asked that people review the YouTube video to understand his decision for leaving.
I have so much respect and admiration for Judge Baillargeon, and am absolutely heartbroken to see him leave the bench, but happy to gain a new ally in the fight for constitutional rights.
He will finish his term August 1, 2025.
