MICHIGAN: OFF CLOUD, BACK ON BENCH

A judge who admitted to smoking marijuana began hearing cases again in 
District Court in Traverse City. Judge Thomas S. Gilbert, 45, removed 
himself from the bench in November after he was seen smoking marijuana in 
October at a Rolling Stones concert. He completed an alcohol rehabilitation 
program and will not hear cases involving alcohol or marijuana charges 
indefinitely. The board of governors for the bar association representing 
lawyers in the judge's district continues to call for Judge Gilbert's 
resignation.
