Hon. Michael J. Riordan was appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals by Governor Rick Snyder on March 16, 2012. In November 2012, he was elected to a full six-year term, and he was reelected in 2018 and 2024. Previously, Judge Riordan served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, as assistant general counsel for the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network in Milwaukee, and as a senior attorney in the Enforcement Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also was an inspector with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (now known as Customs and Border Protection). On graduation from law school, he served as a federal judicial law clerk for the Honorable Robert E. DeMascio of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Judge Riordan has also been an adjunct professor of securities regulation, business organizations, and administrative law at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law for 25 years. He is a past president of the Federal Bar Association of the Eastern District of Michigan and of the Incorporated Society of Irish American Lawyers, the Michigan Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society, and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Alumni Association. Judge Riordan is also on the board of directors of the Catholic Lawyers Society and the Marywood Nursing Care Center, and is a past member of the board of directors for Detroit’s Loyola High School and PBJ Outreach.
