reputation among my colleagues
and my community as being a
fair-minded person who treats all,
regardless of their station in life,
with respect and dignity."
Bryan Levy was appointed to
the Southfield District Court in
1987 and elected to a six-year
term in 1990. A magazine poll of
area lawyers in 1991 named him
one of the top three judges in met-
ropolitan Detroit. He says he pos-
sesses "each of the following traits
essential in a judge — knowledge
of the law, judicial temperament
and a strong work ethic."
Marcia Ross has a practice in
Bingham Farms and is a gradu-
ate of Wayne State University
and the Detroit College of Law.
She serves as a circuit court me-

diator. She believes people should
vote for her "because I know the
law, I care about people and I am
committed to justice." If elected,
"I will be fair, expedient, diligent
and a passionate public servant."
Joseph Shulman practices in
Southfield and is a 1952 gradu-
ate of the University of Michigan
Law School. He has 42 years of
trial experience and counseling
of clients. He believes the courts
must overcome the public's lack
of confidence in the judicial sys-
tem. One way, he says, is by elim-
inating non-essential court
appearances.
Other candidates in the pri-
mary race include Marjory Co-
hen of Huntington Woods and
Daniel C. Devine Sr. of Birm-
ingham. D
