Ind. Courts - Hamilton County may need new juror questionnaire envelopes
A reader has sent me the envelope to a mailing from the Hamilton County Administrator of Courts. The envelope states OFFICIAL JURY QUESTIONNAIRE and warns "Your reply is required within ten (10) days by Indiana Law (IC 33-4-11-16)."
The problem? IC 33-4-11-16, if you try to look it up, has been repealed. All of Title 33, Courts and Court Officers (Articles 1-21), was repealed in 2004 by a recodification of Title 33.
The ILB was able to locate the disposition table for Title 33. According to the Table, IC 33-4-11-16 is now recodified at IC 33-28-5-16.
Does it make a difference that the requirement now has a new citation and most people would have difficulty finding it, or might even conclude that the requirement no longer exists? Apparently not, according to IC 33-22-1, "Effect of Recodification of Title 33."
