Judicial Conference Committee Appointments

December 4, 2018

Compiled by Amanda Wishin | Research Attorney, Indiana Office of Court Services

Effective September 5, 2018

Every summer, judicial officers request their preferences for committee service, choosing between the 21 Judicial Conference committees and two Indiana Judges Association jury instruction committees. The Chief Justice appoints these judicial officers to one of their preferred committees for a 3-year term that is renewable for an additional term of the same length. The number in parenthesis following the judicial officer’s name is the year of appointment; an asterisk and a second number in parenthesis indicates the year of appointment as chair, if applicable.
