The IU McKinney Law family mourns the loss of Marion Superior Court Judge Shatrese Flowers, J.D. ’98. Judge Flowers was 50 years old. She served on the bench of Marion Superior Court 28 at the time of her death.
“Judge Flowers faithfully served our community for so many years,” said IU McKinney Dean Karen E. Bravo. “She will be missed.”
Judge Flowers began serving on the bench in 2005 when she became a master commissioner for the Marion Superior Court. She was elected to the bench in 2020 after receiving a favorable recommendation from the Marion County Judicial Selection Committee.
During her time on the Marion Superior Court bench, Flowers served as the supervising judge of jury pool and the Arrestee Processing Center. She had also been an associate presiding judge on the Marion Superior Court Executive Committee since 2021.
After her graduation, Flowers went into private practice at a small, family-owned firm. Prior to taking the bench, she worked as assistant corporation counsel for the Indianapolis Office of Corporation Counsel and as a deputy public defender for the Marion County Public Defender Agency.
