The committee, chaired by Indiana Supreme Court Justice Mark Massa, will publicly meet April 30, then will reconvene in executive session to determine which of the 40 applicants will be asked to sit for an interview. The interviews, which will be held May 21 and 22 at the Indiana Statehouse, will mark the first time the committee has met to interview applicants to fill judicial vacancies.
The 14-member committee met for its very first interviews last month, when it recommended 17 Marion County judges for retention.
Once interview candidates for the three vacancies are selected, the interview process will be open to the public. This month’s public meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m. in room 156A of the statehouse, while the interviews will be held in Room 319.
