After a thorough year-long process, the Judicial Crossroads Task Force, made up of both judges and lawyers, has completed a comprehensive report and recommendations to modernize Michigan's judicial system. These recommendations are built around successes and will yield immediate and substantial savings. Many can be implemented without more funding.

• Moderator, W. Anthony Jenkins, president, State Bar of Michigan

When: 2 p.m., Wednesday, January 26
