Ind. Courts - New Marion County Superior Court Judge David Certo takes oath
The Indanapolis Star reports this afternoon:
[David Certo,] a new judge on Marion Superior Court received his robe this afternoon during a ceremony marking his appointment to the bench. * * *Seventeen judges were among the attendees. Certo, 35, took the oath of office from Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Cale Bradford while his hand rested on a Bible held by his wife, Megan. Bradford's appointment to the appeals court opened up the vacancy filled by Certo.
The new judge started work last month and oversees the protective order court, which primarily handles domestic violence-related cases. He said such situations sometimes escalate into more serious crime.
Until his appointment, Certo, a Republican, was legal counsel at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. He has held other government positions at the state and local levels.
