United States District Court Western District of Michigan
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN PAUL L. MALONEY 410 W. Michigan Ave. (269) 381 4741 CHIEF JUDGE Kalamazoo, MI 49007 UPDATED PRESS RELEASE February 19, 2015 With profound sadness the Judges of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan have received word that our friend and esteemed colleague, United States District Judge Richard Alan Enslen, died peacefully on February 17, 2015 after a long illness. Judge Enslen was born in Kalamazoo in 1931 and called it home for virtually all of his life. He entered Kalamazoo College in 1949, but interrupted his education to join the Air Force in 1951 and served during the Korean War. He resumed his education upon his return, earning an LL.B. degree in 1958 from Wayne State University and an LL.M. in 1986 from the University of Virginia. Judge Enslen practiced law with several firms in Kalamazoo from 1958 through 1965 leaving practice in 1965 to serve as the Director of the U.S. Peace Corps in Costa Rica. Upon his return to West Michigan in 1968 Judge Enslen served for a year as Judge of the Kalamazoo Municipal Court and for one additional year as a Michigan District Judge. He resumed the practice of law in 1970, practicing with the law firm of Howard & Howard and later as a partner with the law firm of Enslen and Schma until his appointment to the U.S. District Court in 1979. President Jimmy Carter nominated Judge Enslen to the Court on November 30, 1979 and he was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 21, 1979.
