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.

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.
