Ind. Courts - Deputy prosecutor to replace Kouros, sources say
"Deputy prosecutor to replace Kouros, sources say: Daniels expected to pick Diane Boswell as judge," is the headline to this story in the Munster (NW Indiana) Times. Some quotes:
It's no coincidence Deputy Prosecutor Diane Boswell headed to Indianapolis in time for Gov. Mitch Daniels' news conference at 3 p.m. today to announce his pick for Lake Criminal Court Judge, Republican sources said.Boswell is the governor's choice to fill the spot left vacant in Courtroom 3 by the removal of Joan Kouros, a source close to the judiciary said.
The 56-year-old, first-time applicant for judge was one of three names sent to Daniels on Feb. 14 for consideration. Court magistrates Glenn Commons and Kathleen Sullivan rounded out the nominees.
The new judge will face a crowded docket laced with much-publicized cases. * * *
Boswell impressed the Lake County nominating committee members with her interview skills, background in social work and maturity.
The seat became open after an almost four-year battle to remove Kouros from the bench because she was slow in completing routine paperwork and adversely affected cases.
