07/02/2012
A total of eight of the 22 people seeking to become the next associate justice on the Indiana Supreme Court are graduates of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. They are:
- Hon. Cale J. Bradford, ’86, Indiana Court of Appeals
- Alicia A. Gooden, ’96, Indianapolis
- Andrielle M. Metzel, ’96, Indianapolis
- Hon Steven R. Nation, ’75, Hamilton Superior Court

- Brenda A. Roper, J.D. ’97, LL.M. ’11, Indianapolis
- Hon. Mary G. Willis, ’91, Henry Circuit Court
- John P. Young, ’88, Indianapolis
Not all of the 22 candidates will be interviewed; the Judicial Nominating Commission has announced that it will release a list of those who will be interviewed on July 6. Candidates will be interviewed July 17 and 18, after which semifinalists will be selected. Semifinalists will be interviewed August 8 and 9, and the three most qualified candidates will be sent to Governor Mitch Daniels, who will make the final decision. The JNC is filling a vacancy that will occur when Justice Frank Sullivan, Jr., leaves the court later this summer to join the faculty of the law school.
