Loretta Rush Named First Woman Chief Justice of Indiana Supreme Court

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta RushIn a somewhat surprising and much anticipated move, the justices of the Indiana Supreme Court voted today to name Justice Loretta Rush the first woman to the position of Chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, succeeding Chief Justice Dickson after nearly a year in that position.  (See Indiana Law Blog article here.)

I think many insiders believed that the choice would be Justice Steven David, but it appears the Court, after much consideration, has wisely chosen Loretta Rush to chair Indiana’s highest court.

Congratulations from SFT Lawyers to the new Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice, Loretta Rush!
