In Re Tracy E. Green, Judge

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court found that Judge Tracy E. Green knowingly concealed evidence of child abuse and knowingly made false statements in responses to the Judicial Tenure Commission, but it rejected findings that she lied under oath at the juvenile proceeding and at the JTC hearing. The Court held that any error in conducting most of the hearing remotely did not prejudice Green or produce a miscarriage of justice, and it declined to consider uncharged allegations concerning her testimony at the JTC hearing. The Court modified the JTC's recommendation of removal and imposed a public censure and six-month suspension without pay.
