Template:Short description The Court of Chancery was the court with jurisdiction in cases of equity in the state of Michigan between 1836 and 1847, presided over by a Chancellor. In certain cases, appeal could be made to the Michigan Supreme Court.[1]
The law creating the Court of Chancery took effect July 4, 1836 and it was abolished on March 1, 1847, with its jurisdiction given to the circuit courts.[2] During this time, only two men served as Chancellor.[1] The Chancellor was an ex officio member of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan.
