Hoosier attorneys in District 1, which covers the southern and central part of the state, elected a new member to the Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission Wednesday.
Parr Richey Partner Anthony Patterson’s term is expiring at the end of this year, creating the vacancy.
Attorneys casted their votes via email ballot and elected Steve Williams of Williams Law Firm in Terre Haute as a new commission member.
Williams focuses his practice on personal injury and business litigation.
He will begin his three year term on Jan. 1, 2025.
