In September, Governor Daniels named Judge Loretta Rush to succeed Justice Frank Sullivan, Jr., who stepped down from the bench earlier this year. After her appointment, Rush continued her work as Judge of Tippecanoe Superior Court #3 until November. Chief Justice Dickson administered a private oath on November 7th so that Rush could officially begin her work as an Indiana Justice prior to the December 28th ceremony.
