Indiana Supreme Court
In the Matter of Scott A Norrick
May 17, 2024
Summary
The Indiana Supreme Court imposed a forty‑five‑day suspension without pay on Judge Scott A. Norrick for multiple violations of the Indiana Code of Judicial Conduct, including failure to supervise staff, conflicts of interest, and issuance of an improper ex parte custody order. The Court relied on prior disciplinary precedent to determine that the sanction was appropriate given the scope and seriousness of the misconduct. Justice Slaughter dissented, arguing that a more severe sanction was warranted.
