This race should be important to voters who want to restore fairness to the Michigan Supreme Court. The primary role of the Supreme Court is to provide justice to the citizens of the state. As the court of last resort, the Michigan Supreme Court must be fair and follow the law, thereby reassuring the public they are independent of any special interests when making decisions that effect things like child protection, fairness in the workplace, pensions and collective bargaining.[5]
