Berrien County Circuit Court Judge Charles LaSata has been selected by his peers to serve as the statewide president of the Michigan Judges Association.
LaSata has served on the MJA Executive Committee for more than a decade. The Michigan Judges Association membership is composed of circuit judges and court of appeals judges from throughout the state. The MJA provides educational and training to its members and serves as a resource for the Michigan Legislature on the adoption of laws that affect the judiciary.
LaSata has been a circuit judge for 20 years. Prior to taking the bench he served six years in the Michigan House and four years as the mayor of St. Joseph.
Joining Judge LaSata for his swearing in ceremony as president of the Michigan Judges Association on Mackinac Island were all of his circuit court colleagues from Berrien County. That’s Judges Angela Pasula, Donna Howard, and Jennifer Smith.
