I am proud and honored to participate in the dedication of this Hall of Justice, a magnificent building, worthy of Michigan...

A building that complements one of the most beautiful state capitols in the nation.

A building whose colonnade invites citizens to approach our halls of justice.

A building whose glass dome lets light into our judiciary.

A building whose wings gesture toward the other branches of government.

A building with a Learning Center that is second to none.

A building of limestone and marble that symbolize the permanent things on which our constitutional republic is founded – justice, ordered freedom, and self-government under the rule of law.

A building, ladies and gentlemen, that is the finest state judicial edifice in the United States …a fitting home for the finest judiciary in the United States.

May the men and women who come to this building for generations to come find the justice they deserve.

God bless the work in the Hall of Justice.

God bless Michigan.
