The Michigan Probate and Juvenile Registers’ Association (MPJRA) was formed with the goal of creating a forum for our members to share information, join in trainings, and collaborate with colleagues to enhance their knowledge and professional skills that are applied in their day-to-day responsibilities within the courts.

The organization is open to any person employed by or retired from a Probate Court, Family Division of Circuit Court, or Trial court in the State of Michigan.

Members have the opportunity to collaborate with each other to share their knowledge and expertise through the organization’s listserv and many educational trainings throughout the year.  Please see our membership page if you are interested in joining.

The officers for the Michigan Probate and Juvenile Registers’ Association consist of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.  They are elected at the organization’s annual business meeting and serve a one-year term.

The Executive Board for MPJRA consists of the officers listed above, along with the immediate past president, a probate member at large, and a juvenile member at large.  The members at large are appointed by the president.
