Justice Larsen is brilliant, principled, and dedicated. Not all of us share Justice Larsen’s views on judicial methodology. But every single one of us agrees that she will be an outstanding federal judge, and we are unanimous in urging you to support her nomination. Our only regret is that she will no longer be able to continue as a Justice on the Michigan Supreme Court, where she has served with distinction.

— An excerpt from a letter of support for Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen’s nomination to the Sixth Circuit, signed by 32 professors from the University of Michigan Law School. The letter was sent to Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters.
