    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.

Forkner, Chief Administrative Officer Office of Judicial Administration 251 North Illinois St., Ste. 1600 Indianapolis, IN 46204 Phone: (317) 232-2542 courts.in.gov ii | Judicial Year in Review ON THE COVER History of the Sullivan County Courthouse Sullivan County was named for Daniel Sullivan, American Revolutionary War hero and later the leader of the Vincennes area militia. The town of Carlisle was the county seat from 1816-1819. A log building in the town of Merom served as the courthouse from 1819 to 1842. The City of Sullivan became the county seat in 1843. The Sullivan County courthouse has been located in the center of the downtown city square in Sullivan since 1843. The construction of the current courthouse began in 1926 and was completed in 1928. The courthouse was built in the Beau Arts architectural style by architect John Bayard and builder Walter Heath. John Bayard was also the architect of the Vermillion County Courthouse, and the Sullivan County Courthouse and the Vermillion County Courthouse are nearly identical in style. It was the conscious choice of the Sullivan County Commissioners to construct the courthouse in Sullivan based on the design of the Vermillion County Courthouse, which had been completed in 1924. The Sullivan County Courthouse is nearly square, constructed with a steel frame and concrete.
