Ind. Courts - Even more on: Nominations open for the 2nd District attorney member of the Judicial Nominating Commission

Updating this most recent (Sept. 10th) ILB entry, this item from the Sept. 20th issue of Indiana Legislative Insight ($$), reprinted with permission:

Some Hoosier attorneys are already receiving letters and even phone calls seeking votes for some of the five applicants for the attorney member of the Judicial Nominating Commission representing the Second District, the 19-county judicial district that includes Indianapolis and much of the central part of the state. Indianapolis attorney John C. Trimble rotates off after completing his three-year term.

The quintet of candidates are

  • Jan M. Carroll of Barnes & Thornburg (and the wife of Judge John Tinder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit);
  • criminal defense attorney David R. Hennessy of Indianapolis;
  • Kathy L. Osborn of Baker & Daniels;
  • Joel Schumm, the law professor at the Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis whose blogging about the Supreme Court interviews for the Indiana Law Blog helped to elevate the level of attention to the Commission in the legal community; and
  • trial lawyer William E. Winingham of Wilson, Kehoe & Winingham.
