Gov. Whitmer Announces Appointments to the Bench in Michigan
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Nov. 9 announced the appointments of Dan Osher to the Third District of the Court of Appeals and Adam Strong to the 10th District Court in Calhoun County.
Dan Osher has served as Deputy Legal Counsel in the Executive Office of Governor Whitmer since 2023 and is a lecturer at the University of Michigan Law School, where he teaches voting rights and election law. Before joining the administration, Osher was a voting rights litigator with Elias Law Group LLP and clerked for three federal judges, including Hon. Ronald M. Gould of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He holds a bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School.
"For the last three years, Dan has been an essential part of our team," Governor Whitmer said. "I'm proud to appoint him to the Third District of the Court of Appeals, where he will continue serving the people of Michigan with strength, professionalism, and a commitment to getting stuff done." Osher said he was humbled to follow Judge Christopher Yates, whose resignation created the vacancy; the appointment fills a partial term expiring January 1, 2029.
Adam Strong, of Marshall, is the deputy chief assistant prosecuting attorney at the Eaton County Prosecutor's Office, where he has served since 2012. He previously worked as an adjunct professor of criminal law and criminal procedure at Ferris State University, has been involved with the 56th Circuit Court veteran's treatment court, felony sobriety court, and adult circuit drug court, is a past president of the Eaton County Bar Association, and previously worked with the Michigan State Police Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team. He holds a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and a Juris Doctor from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco.
"I am proud to appoint Adam Strong to the 10th District Court in Calhoun County," Governor Whitmer said. "Adam is a skilled legal professional and a dedicated member of his community. I am confident that he will use his years of experience to serve the people of Michigan admirably and uphold the rule of law."
