Young Jr. (born June 13, 1951) is a former justice of the Michigan Supreme Court.[1] Young was first appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court in 1999, elected in 2000 and 2002, and again won reelection in 2010 for a term ending in 2019. Justice Young announced he would be retiring from the court at the end of April 2017.[2] Young is a self-described judicial traditionalist or textualist.
