2. Administrative and/or legislative changes: It la my desire to bring to this office a dedication on the part of myself and the entire staff to achieve and maintain efficiency, economy and speedy processing of all documents concerned with this office. At this time, I cannot forsee any necessary legislative changes. DEMOCRAT MISS HELEN COREY, 41, Indianapolis; Reporter, Supreme A Appellate Courts 1. Education, training, experience: Four years, Reporter, Supreme & Appellate Courts. Author, Indiana’s first labor booklet on laws pertaining to women, children; executive secretary Commission on Status of Women. 2. Administrative and/or legislative changes: It is my intention to recommend to the 1969 legislature the enactment of laws which would permit the Reporter to contract with a recognized legal publishing company for the reporting of the Judges’ opinions. This system will not only expedite publishing of these reports, but also save many thousands of dollars since it will eliminate costly printing and reprinting of opinions prior to final proofs submitted to this office. I will also suggest to the 1969 legislature that the requirement of reprinting old out-of-print volumes be changed in order to ss.ve considerable tax dollars.

DEMOCRAT

County; extensive practice in State, Federal Courts. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: I feel that the judiciary must shoulder its share of the responsibility tq maintaining of civil law and order in all jurisdictions in the United States. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: I favor the present constitutional amendment concerning judicial reform now pending before the General Assembly. DEMOCRAT THOMAS’J. FAULC0NER, 45, Indianapolis; Judge, Indiana Appellate Court 1. Education, training and experience: Butler University, Valparaiso University Law, Appellate Judges Institute, New York University; Judge, Marion County Criminal Court 1959-1963, Indiana Appellate Court 1963-present; Member, National Institute Judicial Administration. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: It is imperative that methods be found to speed up processing of litigation in all our courts. It is incumbent upon our judges to provide leadership in these necessary changes. Legislators cannot adequately cope with the serious problems facing our courts. In addition to providing necessary leadership and educating the public concerning the need for reform, a progressive judiciary can institute many beneficial improvements without legislation or constitutional amendment. The passage of the present amendment taking judges of Supreme and Appellate Courts off of the party ballots is imperative but only a beginning in the solution to our court problems. JUDGES OF THE APPELLATE COURT 4-year term. Court consists of 8 judges: 4 must reside at the time of their election in each of the 2 Appellate Court districts. They are elected by the voters at large. They usually sit in two divisions except in very important cases which are heard by the entire court of 8. Each must be a citizen of the U.S., a voter, a lawyer in good standing, a resident of the state for 5 years preceding election, and at least 30 years old. Appellate court has jurisdiction over all appealable cases except those appealable directly to the Supreme Court. The authority of the court is the same as that of the Supreme Court. Salary $22,500 plus $2,400 subsistence allowance per year. APPELLATE COURT, First District (Southern Indiana District) VOTE FOR TWO REPUBLICAN JOE W. LOUDERMILK, 57, Sullivan; Lawyer, General Practice of Law 1. Education, training and experience: Youngstown University, Indiana Law School L.L.B.—1934; Prosecuting Attorney—4 years; Circuit Judge—12 years; General practice of law continuously since 1934 except when Judge. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: Yes. The problem of ridding the Court of its backlog of cases. This can be done by attorneys co-operating with the Court and more especially by the judges working harder and longer to get and to keep the work current. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: The Indiana Judicial Study Commission is effectively working on changes to keep abreast of the times. This Commission is made up of most able talent and I shall co-operate with them in making progressive and constructive changes in our judicial system.

ADDISON M. BEAVERS, 58, Boonville; Judge, Warrick Circuit Court

PATRICK D. SULLIVAN, 35, Indianapolis; Judge, Marion County Municipal Court (Civil Division)

1. Education, training and experience: Graduate Butler University, Indiana University School of Law, 1934. Served as Prosecuting Attorney, Deputy Attorney General and Member of State Legislature. Trial Judge since 1951. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: Concerned with cost and delay in trials and appeals. Worked for changes in rules of civil procedure. Believe Courts have responsibility for individual justice and individual rights and equal responsibility to corporate body of society. Common law as declared by Judges must shift to meet changing circumstances, but must maintain stability which makes it common law. This requires constant, reconciliation and weighing of opposing forces. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: Favor Judicial Reform as proposed by Indiana Judicial Study Commission to last legislature. Failing that, favor Constitutional Amendment passed by last legislature. Would like such unified trial Courts in populous counties as present Constitution permits.

(3) Decide legal issues presented without undue social commentary or personal expression of philosophy and without excessive verbiage. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: (1) Passage of H.J.R. 6.

DEMOCRAT JONATHAN J. ROBERTSON, 36, Seymour; Judge of the Jackson Circuit Court 1. Education, training and experience: Graduate of Indiana University School of Business, Vanderbilt University School of Law, National College of State Trial Judges. Experienced as farmer, lawyer and circuit judge. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: In my opinion, there has been a discernible breakdown in the rapport and understanding between the various judicial levels in Indiana. Strong, competent leadership is needed to correct this. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system:

The appellate judicial system, I feel, requires whatever acceptable changes necessary to provide the people with the highest quality of judicial talent available, including the incentives of tenure, salary, and the opportunity of continuing judicial education. Also, the already successful Indiana Judicial Conference could be used to provide even more opportunity for the exchange of information and ideas, and uniformity of rules and practice, in the entire judicial branch.

Education, training and experience: Ohio State BA 1948 Political Science; Chase College JD 1955; Prosecutor Dearborn and Ohio Counties 8 years; Member, Committee on Crime and Delinquency 1 year. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: I would like to see Indiana adopt a method for selection of all judges similar to that used in the federal system. In this way judges would be taken out of politics and completely away from economic or social pressures that scf often are apt to affect the impartial judgment that should be a part of any litigation.

APPELLATE COURT, Second District (Northern Indiana District) VOTE FOR TWO REPUBLICAN GEORGE B. HOFFMAN, 44, Hammond; Attorney 1. Education, training and experience: Hammond Indiana Public Schools, Muskingum College, Valparaiso University; Active trial attorney since 1951, senior member of ROYCE & HOFFMAN, PastPresident of Hammond Bar Association. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: Courts must work out and carry out theme “Only a lawful society can build a better society,” and only through proper conduct of the Court can we have country of law and not of men. Each Judge must work deligently to see that wheels of justice turn and litigation can be heard within reasonable time, thereby eliminating present backlog in the Courts. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: Judicial system of Supreme and Appellate Courts should be administered without favoritism, with each case being heard on its own merits. This can best be accomplished by changing system of selection of Judges of these two high Courts.

ALLEN SHARP, 36, Williamsport; Attorney 1. Education, training and experience: A.B. George Washington U., JD degree IU. Active trial and Appellate Attorney including recent case before U.S. Supreme Court. Probation Officer. Staff employee U.S. Senate. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: I am very interested in the expeditious determination and disposition of cases, both at the trial court level and at the Appellate Court level. I believe that our procedural rules and statutes should be modified where necessary, either by legislative action or court rule to accomplish this end. 3. Changes in Indiana judicial system: I favor an amendment to the Indiana Constitution to effect a nonpartisan type of election of Judges of the Supreme and Appellate Court level similar to the amendment on this subject passed by the 1967 Indiana General Assembly.

Law School, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, 8% years Judicial experience, 10 years experience as practicing Attorney. 2. Judicial issues of particular concern: 3. Change., in Indiana judicial system: Yes. Judges of the Supreme, Appellate, Circuit and Superior Courts of the State of Indiana should be taken out of politics and that the Legislature should devise an equitable system for the selection of these Judges which would tend to provide tenure to qualified and capable Judges in these positions. Attorneys with the experience and qualifications necessary to properly execute the important functions and to assume the responsibilities of these high offices would more readily aspire to election if they felt that their remaining in office was decided according to ability and not to political trends.
