Young Municipal Center Detroit, Michigan 48226 Dear Judge Kelly: With this letter I am pleased to transmit the 2005 Annual Report of the Third Circuit Court for your review. This report includes a brief narrative, a compilation of summary statistics, and an overview of the Court’s principal activities and programs in 2005. I would like to highlight two important accomplishments in 2005: • the August transition of entrance and perimeter security at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice from a private provider to the Wayne County Sheriff, and • the successful migration of guardianship cases to the Court’s new case management system. In the first instance, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers has clearly created a more secure courthouse facility. In the second instance, the migration of guardianship cases represents an important first step in the multi-year project to convert the Court’s three legacy systems to a single state-of-the-art system by 2008.
