Clinton Township · 41-B District Court
Clinton Township Criminal Defense LawyerCharged in Clinton Township? I know this courthouse.
Clinton Township cases are heard at the 41-B District Court on Starks Drive, minutes from the Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens where the felonies land. I'm a former Macomb County prosecutor and I work in both buildings.
Where your case is heard
41-B District Court — and what happens next
The 41-B District Court covers Clinton Township, Mount Clemens, and Harrison Township. Misdemeanors are handled there; felonies are arraigned and examined there before being bound over to the 16th Circuit Court a short drive away in Mount Clemens.
Gratiot and Hall Road generate most of the township's traffic-based cases — OWI, suspended license, and drug or weapon charges arising from stops. The township also produces a significant number of assault and domestic violence files, and a growing number of internet and fraud allegations investigated by the Macomb County Sheriff.
Because the district and circuit courts are so close together here, a felony can move from arraignment to circuit court arraignment in a matter of weeks. That compressed timeline is exactly why the preliminary examination should not be waived reflexively — it is often the only sworn testimony you'll get from the complaining witness before trial.
