Supreme Court Justice Myra C. Selby to Step Down from Bench
Myra C. Selby, Indiana's 103rd Supreme Court Justice and the first African-American and the first woman to serve on Indiana's highest court, will step down from the bench later this year, Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard announced today.
Justice Selby, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1995 by Gov. Evan Bayh, will leave the bench to pursue a career in Indianapolis in the private practice of law. Chief Justice Shepard said he and his colleagues deeply regret Justice Selby's coming departure but they remain unanimous in their support for her decision.
"This is a very sad time for the four of us. We will miss her friendship, her insight, and her sense of humor. But it is an even greater loss for the people of Indiana who have been so splendidly served by her dedication to the Court and to the principles of justice. As a justice on our Court, she has always been elegant, thoughtful, and energetic. Every one of us wishes her the very best."
Justice Selby is a 1977 graduate of Kalamazoo College and a 1980 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. Upon graduation, she practiced labor and employment law in Washington D.C. After she moved to Indianapolis, she practiced health law for the firm of Ice Miller Donadio & Ryan, where she was named a partner. In 1993 she was appointed Director of Health Care Policy by Gov. Bayh. She is married to Bruce Curry and they have two children.
The seven-member Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission will search for Justice Selby's successor. Chaired by Chief Justice Shepard, the Commission will interview candidates in late summmer and send the names of three candidates to Gov. Frank L. O'Bannon. He will select Indiana's next justice.
About Wrongful Termination employment
Wrongful termination is a term that generally refers to a person being fired illegally. Many terminations that people think of as "wrongful" aren't illegal. In most states, employment is "at will". This means that the employer can fire the employee for no reason or any reason. However, there are two main reasons why a termination may be illegal- discrimination and contracts.
