Twenty-nine lawyers and judges vying to replace retiring Indiana Supreme Court Justice Brent Dickson will be interviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission beginning Wednesday morning and continuing Thursday and Friday.

Friday's schedule was adjusted after applicant Ted Waggoner, of Peterson Waggoner & Perkins, LLP, Rochester, withdrew his name from consideration.

Interviews before the seven-member panel that will ultimately recommend three finalists for Gov. Mike Pence’s selection will take place in the Supreme Court Conference Room, Room 319 of the Statehouse. Interviews are open to the public and the schedule is as follows:
