    The History of the Indiana Trial Court System and Attempts at Renovation John G. Baker' Introduction Since the formation of Indiana as a territory to the present day, advocates of reform of Indiana's trial court system have enjoyed only limited and short-lived success. Throughout Indiana's history, advocates have addressed a number of issues; however, their goal of a single tier organization of trial courts and merit selection of all judges has proved elusive. This Article evaluates the history of the Indiana General Assembly's attempts to address the call for a more organized trial court system and judge selection process in Indiana. This history shows the general assembly's ambivalence in forgoing its control over parochial issues and its recalcitrance in surrendering control over not only the various dockets of the Indiana trial courts, but over the people who administer those dockets—the state's trial judges. As recently as 1986, the Indiana Judges Association advocated a series of reforms for the state's judicial system. 1 This proposal contained a number of changes which required legislative approval, but some required action only within the judicial branch itself. The 1986 proposal was based, in part, on the 2 recommendations advanced by the Indiana Judges Association in 1978. Specifically, the most recent suggestions championed were: 1) a unified, single- tier jurisdiction system of trial courts, 2) selection of all judges by a merit selection system, 3) total state funding of the court system, 4) improved judicial salaries, 5) improved court record keeping, and 6) reexamination of the change of venue and 3 change of judge rules.

  • Merit Selection in Indiana: the Foundation for a Fair and Impartial Appellate Judiciary
    MERIT SELECTION IN INDIANA: THE FOUNDATION FOR A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL APPELLATE JUDICIARY EDWARD W. NAJAM, JR.* INTRODUCTION Forty years ago the people of Indiana amended their constitution to provide for the merit selection and retention of appellate judges.1 After 120 years of partisan judicial elections, the amendment to article 7 of the Indiana Constitution was a significant, if not radical, departure. Under the Constitution of 1852, virtually all Indiana judges were elected on a partisan ballot, and appellate judges were swept in to office and out of office on political tides that had nothing to do with their judicial qualifications or performance. The Indiana Law Review has invited us to reflect upon Indiana’s forty years of experience with merit selection and to consider whether merit selection in practice has achieved its promise to remove appellate judges from partisan politics, to secure and retain able jurists, and to maintain a fair and impartial appellate judiciary. This Article will consider (1) the national judicial reform movement that led to Indiana’s revised Judicial Article, (2) the work of the Judicial Study Commission which recommended merit selection, (3) the debate in the Indiana General Assembly over adoption of the amendment to article 7 of the Indiana Constitution, (4) the campaign for ratification of the amendment, and (5) Indiana’s experience with merit selection, including a brief comparison with judicial elections in other states. The proper role of the courts has been an important topic since the earliest days of the republic. In Democracy in America, Alexis de Toqueville concluded, “Scarcely any question arises in the United States which does not become, sooner or later, a subject of judicial debate .

SHEPnR* INTRODUCTION Appellate courts have two central functions with respect to deciding cases. They correct errors which may have been made in the initial trial of a case, and they "give" law by interpreting statutes and constitutions and by making common law. A state supreme court represents the final step in a state's appellate process. As a court of last resort, its opinions carry the precedential value which shapes the state's law.

  • Indiana Law Review Volume 35 2002 Number 2
    Indiana Law Review Volume 35 2002 Number 2 SYMPOSIUM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: THE ROLE OF STATE INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE COURTS EDWARD W. NAJAM, JR.* On March 30 and 31, 2001, the Indiana Court of Appeals and the Indiana Law Review co-sponsored a national symposium in Indianapolis on the role of state intermediate appellate courts entitled “Caught in the Middle: The Role of State Intermediate Appellate Courts.” The idea for the symposium originated with Randall T. Shepard, Chief Justice of Indiana, and it was held in connection with the Court of Appeals’ 2001 centennial celebration. It was my privilege to co-chair the symposium with Matthew T. Albaugh, then editor-in-chief of the Indiana Law Review. Judges from twenty-two states attended, representing over half of the thirty- nine states that have intermediate appellate courts. To our knowledge, this was the first time a conference has been organized to consider the institutional role of state intermediate appellate courts. The symposium addressed eight topics. Professor Michael E. Solimine of the University of Cincinnati College of Law spoke on the judicial federalism and state jurisprudence. Justice Gary E. Strankman of the California Court of Appeal spoke on managing the appellate process. Chief Justice Shepard spoke on appellate judicial ethics. Dean Lauren K. Robel of the Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington spoke on published and unpublished opinions. Florida attorney John Paul Jones spoke on appellate alternative dispute resolution. Chief Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson of the Wisconsin Supreme Court spoke on judicial selection, retention and accountability. Justice Warren D. Wolfson of the Illinois Appellate Court spoke on the significance of oral argument.

Judicial clerkships are post-graduate positions, usually lasting one or two years, in which you work as the right-hand analytical and research person for a judge. The positions usually start in August or September of each year. Deadlines for applications to federal judges are rolling and determined by individual judges. Student applicants should apply beginning in February of 2L year (2D, 3E). Some federal judges will accept applications from students during the fall or spring of their 3L year. For Class of 2020 grads, applications will be released beginning June 17, 2019. For Class of 2021 grads, applications will be released beginning June 15, 2020. Applications for judicial clerkships with state court judges are due for some states during the 2nd year of law school, and for most states, during the fall of the 3rd year of law school. More positions are available with state court judges in your final semester as well. Judicial law clerk (“judicial clerk”) experience is universally recognized by the legal community to be extremely useful in law practice, so it is one of the most valuable experiences you could ever want on your resume.
