Ind. Courts - "Ex-law partners take oaths as judges" in Delaware County

From a story today in the Muncie Star-Press, reported by Douglas Walker:

There might have been a bittersweet element to a Wednesday ceremony that saw longtime law partners sworn in as local judges.

Thomas Cannon Jr.'s law partnership with fellow attorney Bill Bruns effectively came to an end when he took the oath of office as new judge of Delaware Circuit Court 5.

Sworn in by veteran Circuit Court 2 Judge Richard Dailey, Cannon then administered the oath of office to Bruns, who became judge of Muncie City Court.

Cannon, a Democrat, was elected to the Circuit Court 5 bench in the Nov. 7 election.

Bruns, a Republican, was recently chosen by Gov. Mitch Daniels to succeed longtime City Court Judge Linda Ralu Wolf, who had been elected judge of Circuit Court 3.
