Formation and Charge of the Business Court Ad Hoc Committee. In December 2001, the Business Law Section Council established a Business Court Ad Hoc Committee (“Committee”) to study and make recommendations whether Michigan, like a number of other jurisdictions, should establish some form of business court. On January 2, 2002, all members of the Section received an invitation to join the Committee. Since then, over 170 Section members have either joined or expressed interest in working with the Committee. Due to the size of the group an Executive Committee was established.
