Ind. Courts - "Search is on for new magistrate judge in Mishawaka"
Mary Kay Malone has the story today in the South Bend Tribune. Some quotes:
MISHAWAKA — Calling all lawyers: St. Joseph Circuit Court is now accepting applications for a magistrate judge in Mishawaka.The new magistrate will replace Magistrate David T. Ready, who is retiring at the end of this year.
Ready, 74, has been on the bench since 1999, presiding over personal injury cases, contract and real estate disputes, divorces, mortgage foreclosures, and others. * * *
Ready was appointed to the magistrate position by former Circuit Court Judge Terry Crone and continued as a magistrate for Michael Gotsch when Gotsch was elected Circuit Court judge in 2004.
Magistrates are full judicial officers except that they cannot issue their own orders without a signature from a judge, in most circumstances. There are two magistrates for Circuit Court, one in Mishawaka and one in South Bend.
The salary for a magistrate is $105,393, Gotsch said.
Applicants must be a resident of Indiana and admitted to practice law. Preference will be given to St. Joseph County residents, Gotsch said.
The deadline to apply is noon Dec. 2. Applicants should be prepared to begin work Jan. 2.
