INDIANAPOLIS (WANE) The Judicial Nominating Commission named 11 finalists for an open Supreme Court judicial position, including a judge from Wabash.

On May 12, 2017, Justice Robert D. Ruck will retire from the five-member Supreme Court. The Indiana Constitution requires the seven-member commission to recruit and select candidates to fill the vacancy on the state’s highest court.

The commission did 20 public interviews with applicants on March 21 and 22. Eleven have been invited back for second interviews April 17-19. Judge Christopher M. Goff of the Wabash Superior Court is one of the eleven chosen.
