Noteworthy events

Gibson Manning suspended for 30 days (2014)

In September 2014, the Michigan Supreme Court ordered Gibson Manning suspended from the bench for 30 days without pay due to a complaint filed against her by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission. The complaint alleged judicial misconduct stemming from Gibson's repeated tardiness. The commission investigated Gibson Manning's tardiness over a week's period of time in October 2012. They found that she arrived to the court after 10:00 a.m. and then left around 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. on numerous occasions, leaving parties waiting in the courtroom as early as 9 a.m. Gibson Manning cited "family reasons" for her tardiness. Her suspension began on October 8, 2014.
