John Krauss, ’76, has been elected chairman of the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission. He was reappointed to another five-year term on the commission in 2019.

An agency of the Indiana Supreme Court, the Disciplinary Commission is responsible for investigating and prosecuting claims of misconduct against lawyers licensed to practice law in Indiana, and for protecting lawyers against unwarranted claims of misconduct. The Indiana Supreme Court has the exclusive power to take action against a lawyer’s license to practice law. The commission is a board of citizens appointed by the high court to five-year terms. It is made up of seven lawyers and two non-lawyers and employs staff to investigate and prosecute cases.

Krauss is the former and founding director of the Indiana University Public Policy Institute, and is a former Deputy Mayor in Indianapolis, among other public service stints in his career. He continues his service as chairman of the Arthur Jordan Foundation.
