Chief Justice McCormack,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination,  have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.   Chief Justice McCormack, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as Associate Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and in your current role as Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court to be very inspiring to me.

Before you became an Associate Justice on the Michigan Supreme Court, I liked on how you established the Michigan Innocent Clinic, to help investigate cases that dealt with some people being wrongfully convicted on a crime that they didn’t commit due to a lack of DNA testing including forensic science.  In your current role as Associate Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting the need for more laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing the need to make Civil Rights stronger to help reduce discrimination.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse, working with law enforcement including court system to expand services to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and heavily expressing the need for more funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform. Another thing that I like about your work in the Michigan Supreme Court is how you support protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people from unreasonable searches,  express the need for ethics reform to ban gifts to public officials including judicial staff along with judges from lobbyist to reduce corruption,  and advocate for women’s rights from being weakened.  Beside your work in the Michigan Supreme Court, I really like on how you write articles expressing the need for criminal justice reform, a strong need for ethics reform to reduce corruption the judicial system, and many others.  

Chief Justice McCormack, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for the judicial system. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, and advocate for ethics reform.  You have truly inspire me to work hard on my disability  and to continue to learn history including social justice. Also I find your sister Mary McCormack’s acting in In Plain Sight to be a very inspiring to me and her acting really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  I have a letter to Ms. Mary McCormack and I was wondering if you could please forward my letter to her because she is a true inspiration to me.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to improve society, and inspiring me.  Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
