Henry Saad

Henry W. Saad (1948— ) [http://www.usdoj.gov/olp/saadresume.htm Resume] at US Dept of Justice website] is an American jurist. He was born in Detroit, Michigan.

Saad resides in Michigan. He is a judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals in the 2nd District. Judge Saad was appointed to the Court in 1994, was elected for a six-year term in 1996, and was re-elected to a six-year term in 2002. In November 2007, the Michigan Supreme Court appointed Judge Saad to a two-year term as chief judge of the Court of Appeals beginning January 1, 2008.

Judge Saad received his bachelor's degree from Wayne State University School of Business with honors and his law degree from Wayne State University, magna cum laude. He was a partner at Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman, where he practiced law for twenty years. He was also an arbitrator for the Michigan Employment Relations Commission and a hearing referee for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.

He is an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit/Mercy School of Law and Wayne State University Law School, where he teaches Evidence and Professional Responsibility, respectively. Judge Saad serves on the boards of Detroit Public Television, the American Heart Association and Brother Rice High School.

US Court of Appeals nomination

Until March 23, 2006, Saad was a nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He has since withdrawn his nomination.

Although the compromise reached by the "Gang of 14" guaranteed certain appointments up or down votes, Henry Saad and William Myers were expressly reserved from these.

Judge Saad was accused by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) of having a background that had some national security concerns, apparently in violation of various Senate rules (Senate rule 29, Section 5). Various pundits condemned Sen. Reid for these remarks about a confidential security relationship, comparing it to the Valerie Plame affair within the Bush administration.
