Ind. Courts - "Steele interviews for Supreme Court post; Carmichael up this afternoon"
Lesley Stedman Weidenbener of the Louisville Courier Journal has this report. A quote:
In the initial round of interviews, each applicant has 20 minutes to answer questions from the panel.During Steele's appearance, the group focused largely on his time as a lawmaker and how it might influence his work as a judge.
"It's a different role completely," Steele said.
He said lawmakers understand the differences and look to the judicial branch to assess laws and determine whether they are appropriate and constitutional.
Lawmakers "do the best job they can," he said. "But they look to the judiciary to make that final decision, be the final arbiter of it."
