06/24/2015
Professor Randall T. Shepard will receive the American Bar Association’s John Marshall Award. Professor Shepard, who retired from the Indiana Supreme Court in March 2012, is the state’s longest-serving chief justice. Marshall was the longest serving chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. A story about the announcement appears online at the Indiana Lawyer.
Shepard will receive the award July 31 during the ABA’s annual meeting. Some of the highlights of his 25 years as chief justice include the expansion of translation services in court proceedings, a scholarship program for minority law students, and a statewide pro bono mode.
Shepard is a visiting professor at IU McKinney and serves as a senior judge on the Indiana Court of Appeals.
