The State Board of Law Examiners has new members this year, thanks to two appointments by the Indiana Supreme Court, as well as newly elected officers.

The Supreme Court announced Wednesday it had appointed Senior Judge Barbara L. Brugnaux, who served as a Vigo Superior judge since 1996. The judge replaces Sheila M. Corcoran of Evansville. Litigation attorney Gary Kemper of Madison replaces Bartholomew Circuit Judge Stephen R. Heinmann. Corcoran and Judge Heinmann had served on the board for 10 years.

The Board of Law Examiners also elected new officers, who began their one-year term Dec. 1, 2008. Evansville attorney Leslie C. Shively was elected president; Indianapolis attorney Jon B. Laramore was elected vice president; Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis professor Maria Pabon Lopez was elected secretary; and Gary attorney Gilbert King Jr. was elected treasurer.

The Board of Law Examiners is responsible for making sure people admitted to practice in Indiana have met the requirements specified in the Admission and Discipline Rules of the Indiana Supreme Court, including writing and grading the essay portion of the bar examination.

  1. I've been a republican my whole life but to me this is despicable. Its a race to the bottom with the third world when it comes to trying to fetch manufacturing back by lowering wages. Only fools think that is going to really work. You can see that in the southern states they can't hold on to jobs any better than we can up here.

    Much praise to Pat Bauer and the democrats and, most of all, to the the nine BOLD AND WISE republicans who voted and fought against this.

  2. Yup, in Marion County we surely do have the best justice money can buy.

  3. If Republican slating fees are $12,000 they've been lowered. They as of very recently was $25,000.

  4. Indiana law does not require law enforcement agencies to remove "police blotter" records, nor does it require Court Clerks to remove their records. Limiting expungements in this way renders them useless, since many private firms check local and county records for employers. The result is the crime will be discovered, and the applicant rejected. Expungement means just that, and should be required of all criminal justice agencies.

  5. Hope everything turned out okay. My father was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 65 yrs in jail in Indiana and after serving 17 yrs, the other co-defendants finally came forward and confessed he was not there. The court exonerated him, but left the conviction on his record. And of course, Indiana can lock you up on a wrongful conviction, but want pay you a dime for you time. Laws need to change, period!! My dad has since passed, but I trying to make it better.
