David DreyerHave you been thinking lately? Judges and lawyers make a profession of “thinking,” of analyzing, balancing, applying,
and just plain old wondering. But do we think like we used to?

A patient comes to the hospital and receives twice the amount of thrombolytics ordered by the cardiologist. The thrombolytics
have a risk of causing hemorrhagic stroke. Two days later, the patient strokes and dies. The treating cardiologist is of the
opinion that the stroke was caused by the excessive dose given to the patient. Does this seem like a “no brainer”
on causation?

Editorial Indiana LawyerWe surmised it would only be a matter of time before the clamor began, but we were a little taken aback at how few days passed
after the Indiana Supreme Court decision in Barnes v. State was issued before a legislator told us he would put together
a proposal to change the merit selection process that’s been in place for our appellate courts for nearly 40 years.

When you post a comment to a story on a media website, you are responsible for your words. At least that is the case at this

Editorial Indiana LawyerWe often think of law enforcement officers and firefighters as first-responder types who venture into situations where others
are reluctant to go. We’d like to expand the definition of first responder a bit, and bring your attention to an Indianapolis
lawyer who after retiring from his day job years ago decided he wasn’t quite done practicing law.

Editorial Indiana LawyerIn our culture, someone accused of a crime gets a vigorous defense to make certain all of the accused person’s constitutional
rights are protected. This is as it should be. Those faced with the loss of their liberty or life deserve no less than the
best defense that can be put forth.

Editorial Indiana LawyerThis was one retirement ceremony we were not looking forward to attending, fearing that the gentleman stepping away from the

Never heard of remand to another state. How often does that happen?
I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
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!!!
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.
