Judge Joseph Pernick, of
Livonia, died March 19. He
was 67.
Born in Chicago, Judge
Pernick was the longest ser-
ving judge on the Wayne
County probate court bench
and the only judge in Mich-
igan to have been appointed
by two Michigan governors.
In December 1962, Gov.
John Swainson named
Judge Pernick to Detroit's
common pleas court bench.
He served in that court until
September 1968, when he
was sworn into office as a
judge of the Wayne County
probate court, to which he
was appointed by Gov.
George Romney.
Judge Pernick was a
graduate of Highland Park
High School, Michigan State
University and the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, where in
1951 he received his law
degree.
His original plans were to
enter the police academy,
but the family couldn't af-
ford it. Instead, Judge Per-
nick joined the service and
worked in the military police
during World War II.
The son of deaf parents,
Judge Pernick won national
acclaim for his work with
the deaf. He was a pioneer in
assisting the deaf to obtain
their legal rights, in estab-
lishing a program for admis-
sion of deaf students to law
schools, in developing a na-
tional training program of
interpreters for the deaf in a
legal setting, and in setting
up a testing procedure for
deaf applicants to obtain a
Michigan driver's license.
He served as president of
the National Center for the
Rights of the Deaf and on the
executive committee of the
Michigan Society for Deaf
Children and the public ad-
visory board of the Michigan
School for the Deaf.
Also active in areas of
court reform and mental
health, Judge Pernick was a
member of the state supreme
court's joint committee on
court reorganization. He was
past president of the Mich-
igan Probate Judges Associ-
ation, assisted the Michigan
Judicial Institute as a facul-
ty member, and was an ad-
junct professor of law at the
University of Detroit.
A spy novel enthusiast, the
judge admitted in a recent
interview that his many
skills did not include home
repair.
"I'm the world's worst
maintenance guy," he said.
Judge Pernick
"My wife begged me to hire
someone when I smacked my
finger and dropped the sink
once."
Before becoming a member
of the judiciary in 1962,
Judge Pernick practiced law
for 12 years, during which
time he served as a Wayne
County public administrator
in probate court. He also was
a hearings examiner for the
Michigan Liquor Control
Commission.
A World War II veteran,
he enlisted in the Army in
1942 and served in Africa,
Sicily and Italy. He was ac-

tive in the Army reserves
and was a major in the
Judge Advocate General
Corps.
Judge Pernick was a
member of Temple Israel
and a board member of the
Jewish National Fund. He
belonged to Perfection Lodge
486, the Scottish Rite
Bodies-Valley of Detroit and
the Moslem Temple Shrine.
He held numerous leader-
ship positions with the
Masons, including past
sovereign prince and vice
president of the Scottish Rite
board of trustees.
He was a member of the
board of directors of Botsford
General Hospital and
chairman of the board of di-
rectors of Farmington Nurs-
ing Home.
Judge Pernick is survived
by his wife, Elizabeth;
daughter, Lisa; sons, Neal
and Robert, all of Livonia.
