Michigan Tenure Commission Suspended Detroit Judge Kahlilia Davis For 6 Years in 2023. Now She Is Attempting To Regain Her Seat. 

The Michigan Supreme Court suspended former Detroit Judge Kahlilia Davis for six years in 2023. They cited rampant ethical violations during her suspension hearing in 2023. Yet, Davis is no brazenly running to regain a seat on the 36th District Court in Detroit.

Davis is among six candidates vying for two seats on the 36th District Court. The primary election is set for Aug. 6, 2024

The Michigan Department of State Bureau of Elections (BOE) will soon determine if Davis is eligible to run.

BOE spokesperson told Steve Neavling at the Detroit Metro Times: 

“In this case, BOE will need to determine if this flier’s judicial suspension legally prevents her from appearing on the ballot as a candidate for District Court Judge and we will work with the Attorney General’s office to ensure we comply with the law,” 

Neavling also writes,“careful reading of the suspension does not mention whether Davis can run, but it does say she cannot serve as a judge. So it’s possible that she can legally run but would not be able to serve if she wins.”

The BOE has until June 7, 2024 to decide if Davis can run.

The Bizarre Behavior Of The Suspended Detroit Judge

In June 2023, the Michigan Supreme Court suspended Davis for six years. The court found Davis displayed a pattern of misconduct that was beyond the pale for a member of our judiciary.

The Detroit Free Press stated she often cited ominous Bible verses. She would also arrive late to work and disappeared during the day. Most the time, she didn’t even show up at all.

Davis allegedly told the owner of a car legally parked in a handicap space at LA Fitness in 2019:

“You can eat my pussy, you crazy bitch. You don’t know who you fucking with. You must have me twisted.”

The Michigan Supreme Court also accused Davis of intentionally disconnecting courtroom monitoring equipment. They also accused her of missing weeks of court and abusing contempt powers. In addition, they accused her of dismissing cases because of personal beefs and for unlawfully jailing a process server.

The Supreme Court suspended Davis in June 2020.

The Michigan Supreme Court Determines Davis Is Mentally Unfit To Sit On The Bench

In September 2022, the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission determined Davis was “unfit” for the bench. The commission said her “egregious” acts of misconduct made her:

“incorrigible and incapable of conforming her behavior to the standards required of a judge.”

The commission recommended a six-year ban.

The Michigan Supreme Court agreed to the ban. The Justices said Davis, “besmirched the judiciary’s reputation and prejudiced the administration of justice.”

The Justices wrote:

“Misconduct is not viewed in a vacuum. The nature and pervasiveness of respondent’s misconduct requires the highest condemnation and harshest sanction. Given respondent is no longer on the bench, we hold that a six-year conditional suspension without pay is an appropriate sanction, with the suspension barring respondent from serving in a judicial office during that period.”

Davis’s term expired in January 2023. However, she didn’t serve a vast majority of her time on the bench.

She tried running for reelection in 2022. However, the Michigan Secretary of State removed her from the ballot for lying on her affidavit of identity.
