Judge Wanda Stokes was appointed to the Ingham County Circuit Court in December 2018.

Judge Stokes acknowledges that her predecessor was, indeed, an institution on the Lansing-based court. She knows that she has big footsteps to follow … and she is committed to continuing the legacy that has made the court so strong.

Judge Stokes’ 30-year career spans both the public and private sectors. Before being appointed to the bench, she was Director of the State of Michigan Talent Investment Agency, where she oversaw a staff of more than 800 and managed multi-million-dollar budgets.

A 1986 graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, Judge Stokes began her legal journey at Ford Motor Company’s Office of General Counsel. She later took a Staff Attorney position at Auto-Owners Insurance Company, where she eventually became Personnel Director. Over the years, Judge Stokes also practiced law at a from in Southfield, served as a Michigan Assistant Attorney General and was the Deputy Director at the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). She has also been an Adjunct Professor at WMU-Cooley Law School.

Throughout her career, Judge Stokes has been committed to both professional and public service. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, the Michigan Judges Association, the Ingham County Bar Association, the Davis-Dunnings Bar Association and the American Bar Association. She has served as a Commissioner on the Attorney Grievance Commission and was a member of the State Bar Character & Fitness Committee. In addition, she has been involved in numerous community service organizations, including the Capital Area United Way, Girls Club of Lansing and the Lansing YWCA, including serving on the boards of many of these organizations. She is on the Board of Directors for Michigan Women Forward (formerly the Michigan Women’s Foundation) and is a member of the Lansing Chapter of the NAACP. She is also a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a public service organization, where she is a Past Vice-President of the Lansing Alumnae Chapter.

Judge Stokes lives in Okemos with her husband, Col. James E. Stokes, retired, U.S. Army. She is a member of the Union Missionary Baptist Church.

Judge Stokes says she is absolutely ready for this new chapter in her legal career. “When I’m on the bench it’s not about me,” she says. “It’s about what the parties bring to the table and the law. I step back and try to see and listen to each side, apply the law and make a decision. I know what I’m made of. I will be the best jurist I can be and will serve the court and the community well.”
