United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan

The United States District Court for the District of Michigan was established on July 1, 1836, by {{usstat|5|61}}, with a single judgeship.[https://www.fjc.gov/history/courts/u.s.-district-courts-districts-michigan-legislative-history U.S. District Courts of Michigan, Legislative history], Federal Judicial Center. The district court was not assigned to a judicial circuit, but was granted the same jurisdiction as United States circuit courts, except in appeals and writs of error, which were the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Due to the so-called "Toledo War", a boundary dispute with Ohio, Michigan did not become a state of the Union until January 26, 1837. On March 3, 1837, Congress passed an act that repealed the circuit court jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Michigan, assigned the District of Michigan to the Seventh Circuit, and established a U.S. circuit court for the district, {{usstat|5|176}}.

On July 15, 1862, Congress reorganized the circuits and assigned Michigan to the Eighth Circuit by {{usstat|12|576}}, and on January 28, 1863, the Congress again reorganized Seventh and Eight Circuits and assigned Michigan to the Seventh Circuit, by {{usstat|12|637}}. On February 24, 1863, Congress divided the District of Michigan into the Eastern and the Western Districts, with one judgeship authorized for each district, by {{usstat|12|660}}. Ross Wilkins, who had been the only district judge to serve the District of Michigan, was reassigned to the Eastern District.[https://www.fjc.gov/history/courts/u.s.-district-court-district-michigan-judges Judges of the District of Michigan], Federal Judicial Center.

Finally, on July 23, 1866, by {{usstat|14|209}}, Congress assigned the two Districts in Michigan to the Sixth Circuit, where they remain.

The Eastern District comprises two divisions.{{USCode|28|102}}

The Northern Division comprises the counties of Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Bay, Cheboygan, Clare, Crawford, Gladwin, Gratiot, Huron, Iosco, Isabella, Midland, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, Saginaw, and Tuscola.

Court for the Northern Division is held in Bay City.

The Southern Division comprises the counties of Genesee, Jackson, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Saint Clair, Sanilac, Shiawassee, Washtenaw, and Wayne.

Court for the Southern Division is held in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Flint, and Port Huron.
