The United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan is the Federal district court with jurisdiction consisting of the western portion of the state of Michigan, including the entire Upper Peninsula. It was established by an act of Congress on December 24, 1863, when the U.S. Congress split the U.S. District Court for the District of Michigan into two judicial districts.
The District Court is based in Grand Rapids, with divisional offices in Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Marquette in the Upper Peninsula. The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has appellate jurisdiction over the court.
The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan represents the interests of the people in civil and criminal litigation in the court. The United States Attorney's main office is in Grand Rapids and staffed branch offices are located in Lansing and Marquette. An unstaffed branch office is located in Kalamazoo.
