Detroit federal judge, 95, is trimming his caseload

Judge Cohn is in his mid-90s and has been carrying a full caseload for all these years, court spokesman David Ashenfelter said. He has decided that it s time to cut back.

Cohn was appointed in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. He qualified for senior status in 1999, which can trigger a smaller caseload and give the court an opportunity to get an additional judge. But Cohn didn t change his duties.
