The requester asked the state of Michigan for certified copies of oaths of office for various public officials from 2000-2001 and 2006-2007. The state was able to provide some of the requested information and certifications that no records were found for some officials.

The requester asked for certified copies of oaths of office for judges, magistrates, and prosecutors from 36th District Court and 3rd Circuit Court for specific time periods.

The state provided certified copies of current oaths of office for two judges and certifications that no oaths of office were filed for two judges for the requested time periods.
