The judges, who arrived Nov. 15, have attended an oral argument and luncheon at the Indiana Supreme Court, viewed criminal and civil proceedings in Indianapolis and Noblesville, and visited the Indiana Women's Prison.

Iryna Oleksiyivna Khymchak accompanied them as a facilitator.
The Ukrainian judges also met with Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard, Hamilton Superior Court Magistrate William Greenway, and attorney Julie C. Sipe of the Indiana Judicial Center.
The judges are in Indiana as part of the Open World Program – an exchange program that allows participants to get an inside look at the U.S. judicial system and develop ties with the U.S. judges who host them.
