Slaughter, 53, was admitted to practice in 1989 and focuses his practice on administrative, antitrust, appellate and constitutional litigation. He was a finalist for the opening on the Supreme Court in 2012 after Justice Frank Sullivan retired. That opening was filled by Chief Justice Loretta Rush.
The other finalists were St. Joseph Superior Judge Steven L. Hostetler and Boone Superior Judge Matthew C. Kincaid.
Slaughter replaces Justice Brent Dickson, who retired from the Supreme Court April 29 and will serve as a senior judge.
