The remaining nine semi-finalists to be the next Indiana Supreme Court justice will get one last chance Friday to make their
case before the Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission. After Friday’s interviews, the list will be whittled down to
three finalists whose names will be given to the governor to pick the successor to Justice Theodore Boehm, who is stepping
down Sept. 30.
The nine are: Baker & Daniels’ partner Ellen E. Boshkoff; Boone Circuit Judge Steven David; Kipley Drew, associate
general counsel at Indiana University; Johnson Superior Judge Cynthia S. Emkes; Indiana Solicitor General Thomas M. Fisher;
Marion Superior Judge Robyn L. Moberly; Bingham McHale attorney Karl L. Mulvaney; Hamilton Superior Judge Steven R. Nation;
and State Sen. Brent E. Steele, R-Bedford.
The semi-finalists will have to answer the following: "What do you consider your finest professional accomplishment
or contribution?" and "Name two things that need improving in the Indiana court system that a justice might help
solve."
Indiana Lawyer will be there and we’ll be updating our blog, First Impressions, throughout the day with information from the interviews. We’ll also have video
from Friday's interviews of the three chosen finalists.
Check back throughout the day Friday for updates, including the names of the three finalists.

The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.
the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution
Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.
Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
Wow, just wow.
