Shelby County Juvenile Court Judge Dan Michael has announced that he will address “the events and successes of the past year and discuss his plans for Juvenile Court in 2020” at the fourth-annual State of the Court address, the Daily Memphian reports. The U.S. Department of Justice ended its six-year supervision of the court in 2018, despite a DOJ monitor calling the court “deeply flawed” against African American children. The event will take place on Jan. 24 at 9 a.m. in the main auditorium of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission, 600 Jefferson Avenue. The address will also be livestreamed on the Juvenile Court website.
