The federal trial court for this part of Michigan. Federal civil rights claims and maritime claims are filed here.
Run Point.
The Eastern District of Michigan is the federal trial court covering Detroit and the surrounding counties. Claims that arise under federal law, including federal civil rights claims and maritime claims, are filed here rather than in a state circuit court.
Federal and state courts run on different rules, different timetables and, in some kinds of case, different deadlines. Which court a claim belongs in is not a formality, and getting it wrong costs time you may not have.
Court staff can tell you where to file and what a filing requires. They cannot tell you whether federal court is the right choice for your claim.
Court staff handle filings and procedure. They cannot advise on whether a claim belongs in federal court.
