Ind. Courts - Editorials on CJ Shepard's successor
An editorial in the NWI Times, headed "Continue working on Shepard's legacy," reviews the CJ's successes, finding that "Indiana's judicial process is being brought into 21st century" and concludes "Indiana has come too far to see the momentum falter."
An editorial in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette ends with:
Commission members and the governor all need to realize that diversity on the court is crucial and that Indiana’s status as one of just two states with no female justices is an embarrassment, with both practical and symbolic repercussions.Shepard has served Hoosiers well, but an all-male court is by definition limited in its outlook. Daniels has an opportunity to make the court even better.
