The Indiana Supreme Court hosted a reception Wednesday to provide information to Indiana businesses, lawyers, legislators and other leaders about the benefits of the state’s commercial courts.
The Indiana Supreme Court is the most historically original room in the Indiana Statehouse, according to Goben. The wooden chairs seen in the photo are (for the most part) the original chairs from 1888. The court is 134 years old and the longest running court in the country.
“This is the most historically original space in the building,” Goben said. “The least has changed in this room.”
The state supreme court created the Indiana Commercial Court Pilot Project in June 2016, making Indiana one of 23 states with specialized commercial courts. Since then, 10 commercial courts around the state have been established: in Allen, Elkhart, Floyd, Hamilton, Lake, Madison, Marion, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh and Vigo counties.
