(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Indiana’s first female chief justice is getting another term as the leader of the Indiana Supreme Court.

The Judicial Nominating Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to keep Chief Justice Loretta Rush in the position. She was first appointed chief justice by then-Governor Mike Pence in 2014, two years after she first joined the state's highest court.

“I’m honored to be appointed as Indiana’s Chief Justice once again. I intend to continue working to put the people of Indiana at the center of everything the courts do to resolve disputes,” explained Rush. “Our judges, clerks, court staff, and lawyers are committed to a service-oriented approach through numerous programs and initiatives that make the judiciary fair, efficient, and effective.”

The Indiana Supreme Court’s four other justices – all men – said they supported keeping Rush as the chief justice.

During the past five years, Rush has overseen the development of statewide e-filing, the continued implementation of a state case management system, the certification of over 100 problem-solving courts, the creation of commercial courts, and led the judiciary’s response to the addictions crisis.
