70th District Court Judge, The Honorable Terry L. Clark
Saginaw, Michigan

Hon. Terry L. Clark serves as a district judge in Saginaw County, Michigan. While Judge Clark is busy handling the many cases assigned to him he also finds time to serve his community in many other ways.

Judge Clark has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan Judicial Ethics Committee since 2015. As a committee member he readily takes on virtually every volunteering opportunity with the committee, serving on subcommittees, drafting ethics opinions and speaking to various groups. He has served on the criminal jury instructions committee. He has chaired the State Bar Representative Assembly. 

Judge Clark is dedicated to and enthusiastic about educating young people. During his many years on the bench, he has enjoyed educating elementary, middle and high school students about the judiciary, the law and the role they play in our system of government. He has been known to interrupt his judicial duties to entertain and educate student visitors.  He welcomes students touring the courthouse into his chambers where he learns their names, and calls on them to guess and answer questions he poses about how judges perform their duties, their judicial robes and more. He also loves to seat students in the jury box in his courtroom as he describes the legal process and the roles of prosecutors, his staff, the court reporter, defense attorney and even the jurors. In addition, Judge Clark has participated for many years in helping to conduct the annual Mock Trials in Saginaw County.

Judge Clark has made community service, and in particular the education of young people, one of the foundations of his life.
