Ind. Courts - "3 recommended for Indiana Supreme Court"
Niki Kelly has this report this evening in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. A quote:
Daniels now has 60 days to make the appointment, during which time he will meet personally with each candidate.He has declined to speak about the process or what factors and characteristics he will consider in his decision.
Court observers – and retiring Supreme Court Justice Theodore Boehm – have encouraged Daniels to focus on adding gender diversity to the court. Indiana and Iowa are the only two states in which there is not sitting female justice.
Of the original 34 applicants, 19 were women and 15 were men. Of the nine finalists, five were men and four were women. One woman made the top three.
