The 27th judicial district currently consists of the Cities of Wyandotte and Riverview and is divided into two divisions. The first division consists of Wyandotte and has one judge; the second division consists of Riverview and has one judge. Under Senate Bill 769 (S-2), the 27th district would remain as is until January 1, 2003, or until a vacancy occurred in one of the district's judgeships, whichever occurred first. Beginning on January 1, 2003, or on the date on which a judicial vacancy occurred, the 27th judicial district would consist of Wyandotte and Riverview, without separate divisions, and the district would have only one judge. The district's sole judgeship would be filled initially by the remaining incumbent judge, who would serve as judge of the entire 27th district for the balance of the term to which he or she was elected or appointed.
