Mike Pence, who will have 60 days after receiving the list to announce his choice. The Commission has not yet announced a schedule for interviewing the candidates.

For those of us on the outside, what's the current "hometowns" of the sitting Court of Appeals judges?
Actually, I think only two of the current members would consider Indianapolis their home town--Bradford and Kirsch.
I don't think hometown should be relevant; the skills, ability, temperament, and Hoosier Values are more important.
The current COA seems to have swayed across the line of Hoosier Values.
Gary Miller is the best choice!
Court of Appeals judges are appointed from geographic districts created by the General Assembly. The pending vacancy is a 2nd District vacancy, which means the new judge must be appointed from one of 19 counties in that district. For details about court districts, please consult the COA website.

Thanks for pointing that out, Martin.
