Gov. Holcomb selects Judge Derek Molter to replace retiring Supreme Court
Justice Steven David





 

Hey John,



Last Friday, Gov. Holcomb announced Court of Appeals Judge Derek Molter as his
pick for the next member of the Indiana Supreme Court. He will be replacing
retiring Supreme Court Justice Steven David and bringing with him an honorable
reputation of humble beginnings and even-tempered rulings.



“Derek Molter is devoted to the cause of justice and maintaining the integrity
of our justice system. He’s proven during his lengthy legal career and his
tenure on the Indiana Court of Appeals his dedication to the critical role the
judiciary plays in our system of government and the future of our state.” —
Gov. Holcomb



We know that Jude Derek Molter will bring a great perspective to the Indiana
Supreme Court! Just take a look below at his strong approach to “original
intent.”



"The basic idea is that we interpret legal text like the Constitution
consistent with the understanding of that text at the time it was enacted or
ratified. The virtue of that philosophy is that it anchors the court to ensure
that it's exercising its judicial role. Under our separation of powers, that's
the only role judges are here to perform — they're not here to perform the
legislative role. And so, the virtue of that philosophy is that ... it keeps
the court in that lane." — Judge Derek Molter on "original intent"







We look forward to seeing Justice Molter continue his career of serving and
giving back to Hoosiers across Indiana!



Thanks as always,



– Your Holcomb Crew
