Hon. Terrence G. Berg was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan by President Barack Obama in 2012. He previously served as interim U.S. attorney for the district from August 2008 until January 2010. Later in 2010, Judge Berg was tapped by the Department of Justice to serve as the acting first assistant U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, in Macon, Georgia, and later by the Office of Deputy Attorney General in Washington, DC, to work as an attorney for the Professional Misconduct Review Unit, which was responsible for recommending discipline for prosecutors found to have committed professional misconduct. In 1999, then-Michigan Attorney General Jennifer M. Granholm appointed Judge Berg as chief of the attorney general’s newly created High Tech Crime Unit, in order to respond to the growing problem of Internet crime. While serving in this position, he was detailed to work with the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section at the Department of Justice in Washington, DC. Judge Berg taught courses in computer crime and trial practice at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law from 1994-2012 and has guest lectured at the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University (Thomas M. Cooley) law schools. He taught at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina, the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, and the Prosecuting Attorneys Associations of Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and Utah. He has also trained prosecutors in Bangkok, Thailand, Sofia, Bulgaria, and Cebu, Philippines, and judges in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. His writings have appeared in law reviews, state bar publications, and national magazines.
