Benchbooks & Sentencing Guidelines Manual

The Michigan Judicial Institute (MJI) Publications Team is primarily responsible for revising and updating in-house publications. Updates occur regularly for any book affected by recent court or legislative activity. Each publication indicates through which date it is current. Revisions occur on a rotating basis and with the assistance of an editorial advisory committee.

All benchbooks are available in HTML and PDF format. Users are encouraged to use the HTML versions for online viewing. Both formats are fully searchable by keyword.
