    REMARKS Before the American Bar Association House of Delegates Honorable Nathan L. Hecht Chief Justice, The Supreme Court of Texas President, The Conference of Chief Justices February 17, 2020 — Austin, Texas Chairman Bay, President Martinez, Members of the American Bar Association House of Delegates. I wish I weren’t here. Not that I don’t consider it a privilege to address you as President of the national Conference of Chief Justices. I do. It’s just that my predecessor, Chief Justice Mark Cady of Iowa, should be standing where I am—and he would be, but for his sudden and unexpected death in November. I know Mark looked forward to being here. The Conference of Chief Justices is comprised of the presiding judges of the high courts in the states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories and commonwealths—58 members in all. Since 1949, the Conference has provided leadership for the state courts. Communication with you as leaders of the legal profession is critical. I miss Mark Cady, but I can channel him for you. Mark’s first words as President of the Conference were these: “I hope we can use our collective voices to expand a national conversation of promoting public trust and confidence in our state courts.” He was concerned that justice “endure”—his word. That justice, a fundamental value of our democracy, endure? Is it threatened? Yes, always. Mark knew personally that justice has many powerful enemies. Years ago, in reaction to an unpopular decision he authored, voters refused to retain three members of the Iowa Supreme Court.

  • Developments in Indiana Appellate Procedure: Rule Amendments, Remarkable Case Law, and Court Guidance for Appellate Practitioners
    DEVELOPMENTS IN INDIANA APPELLATE PROCEDURE: RULE AMENDMENTS, REMARKABLE CASE LAW, AND COURT GUIDANCE FOR APPELLATE PRACTITIONERS BRYAN H. BABB* BRADLEY M. DICK** INTRODUCTION The Indiana Supreme Court promulgates the Indiana Rules of Appellate Procedure (“Appellate Rules” or “Rules”), and Indiana’s appellate courts—the Indiana Supreme Court (“supreme court”), the Indiana Court of Appeals (“court of appeals”), and the Indiana Tax Court—interpret and apply the Rules. This Article summarizes amendments to the Rules, analyzes cases interpreting the Rules, and highlights potential pitfalls that appellate practitioners can avoid. The Article does not cover every case interpreting the appellate rules that has occurred during the survey period.1 Instead, it focuses on the most significant decisions. I. RULE AMENDMENTS The supreme court amended the Appellate Rules, effective January 1, 2014, and the amendments affect Rules 23, 28, 30, and the sample forms.2 First, and most significantly, the court amended Rule 30 to facilitate the use of electronic transcripts.3 The Rule previously required a trial court’s approval before appellants could use electronic transcripts on appeal,4 but now the trial court’s approval is no longer required.5 Under the amended Rule, with the consent of all parties and the court of appeals, the court reporter must “submit only an electronically formatted transcript.”6 Second, the supreme court amended Rule 28 to provide that in cases arising * Partner, Bose McKinney & Evans LLP.

    The McKinney WINTER 2012-2013 LawyerALUMNI MAGAZINE & DEAN’S REPORT Law School Hosts Official Naming Ceremony Evan Bayh Delivers Inaugural Birch Bayh Lecture Also: Shortridge Magnet School / Centers & Programs / Dean’s Report Message from the Dean The capital campaign that is so important for the future of our law school is now in its closing months. The campaign has been extremely successful, not only because of the transformative gift by Bob McKinney that has named our law school, but because of the many other wonderful gifts that so many of you have made. There is still a ways to go in these last months to achieve all of the campaign goals, but we are closing in fast. The previous two issues of this magazine focused on two areas of campaign empha- sis, increasing support for our terrific faculty and providing critical scholarship support to our students. This issue focuses on a third area of emphasis, that of creating support for programs of excellence in areas of natural strength that will make the McKinney School a destination choice for the most talented students interested in those areas, raise the repu- tation and profile of the school, and make our students more attractive on the job market. There are areas of the law and practice where our location in Indianapolis, the unique expertise of our faculty, and/or our existing programs and relationships give the McKinney School a chance to be the very best anywhere. Our Hall Center for Law & Health, coupled with the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation, located in a city with a vibrant health and life sciences industry, is already nationally recognized.
