Lansing Courts
  • 54A District Court — City of Lansing
    Handles Lansing misdemeanors, most felony arraignments, probable cause conferences, and preliminary examinations.

  • 54B District Court — City of East Lansing
    Handles East Lansing misdemeanors and felony pretrial stages, including cases arising near Michigan State University.

  • 55th District Court — Ingham County
    Handles misdemeanors and felony pretrial stages for townships and communities across Ingham County outside the city courts.

  • Ingham County Circuit Court
    Receives felony cases after bindover from the district courts and conducts all felony trials, motion hearings, and sentencings.

How Lansing Criminal Cases Move Through the Courts
  1. Arraignment in the appropriate district court
    Charges are read, rights are explained, and bond is set at 54A, 54B, or 55th District Court depending on where the incident occurred.

  2. Probable cause conference and preliminary examination
    Early discovery and negotiations occur at the conference. If unresolved, the prosecutor must show probable cause at the preliminary exam through witness testimony and exhibits.

  3. Bindover to Ingham County Circuit Court
    Felony cases move to Circuit Court for pretrial motions, plea discussions, and trial before a jury.

  4. Post-trial and sentencing
    If a case results in conviction, the court applies Michigan’s sentencing guidelines. Mamat Law prepares mitigation to pursue the lowest lawful sentence.
