Key Requirements for Oakland County

  • Affluent Detroit suburb courts -- Sixth Circuit Court, Michigan's second-largest circuit docket

  • MCR 2.401(I) exhibit and witness lists due at the final pretrial conference

  • Smaller docket than Michigan's largest metro courts, which can mean more scheduling flexibility but sparser published local rules

Local Practice Notes

Oakland County's Sixth Circuit Court (Pontiac) is Michigan's second-largest circuit docket, covering Detroit's northern suburbs. As with every Michigan circuit, MCR 2.401(I) requires witness and exhibit lists to be filed and exchanged at the final pretrial conference -- commonly 14 days before trial -- with unlisted evidence subject to exclusion absent good cause. The circuit operates a Business Court under MCL 600.8031 for qualifying commercial disputes exceeding $25,000. Confirm Oakland County's specific local e-filing requirements with the clerk rather than assuming Wayne County's practice carries over.
