The IndyBar’s Judicial Excellence Political Action Committee (“JEPAC”) survey of 2012 candidates for the Marion Superior Court will close at 11:59 p.m. on January 18. Results of the survey will be released to the public on January 20.

Twenty-six candidates have made their interest in participating in the May primary known to the Bar. Four incumbent candidates are not seeking re-election. Those judges are Hon. Barbara Collins, Hon. Reuben Hill, Hon. S.K. Reid and Hon. William Young. Eighteen candidates will ultimately be elected.

All IndyBar members, attorneys in the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office and the Marion County Public Defender Agency, as well as attorneys with accessible email addresses who have entered an appearance in a court where the incumbent judge is seeking election were included in the mailing list for the survey. Anyone not receiving the survey that should be included due to this criteria should contact the IndyBar at jarmstrong@indybar.org or call 317.269.2000.•

  1. vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!

  2. Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.

  3. With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.

  4. Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone

  5. John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
