As a distinguished member of the Michigan Supreme Court, elected statewide as its first blind justice in November 2014. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate from the University of Michigan and a JD holder from Northwestern University School of Law, Justice Bernstein has dedicated his career to disability rights. Prior to his judicial role, he led the public service division at The Sam Bernstein Law Firm in Farmington Hills, advocating for disability rights and setting national standards for accessibility and safety. A staunch supporter of education and public service, Justice Bernstein's landmark cases have profoundly impacted accessibility in stadiums, parks, public transportation, and road construction across the United States.
