People think the decision on judges are made at slating. Actually they are made BEFORE slating with candidates being forced or &amp;quot;encouraged&amp;quot; to drop out in favor of other candidates.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/8738740137559893415/comments/default/6470316310953361521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/8738740137559893415/comments/default/6470316310953361521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2012/01/indianapolis-bar-association-releases.html?showComment=1327104735301#c6470316310953361521' title=''/><author><name>Paul K.
