Ind. Courts - LaPorte Superior Court 4 Judge William J. Boklund to seek reelection [Updated]

From the Michigan City Post-Dispatch:

MICHIGAN CITY - Superior Court 4 Judge William J. Boklund announced Monday he will seek re-election. Boklund, a Democrat, became judge in December 1993, was elected in 1996 and re-elected in 2002.

"Experience, creativity, fairness and extra effort are what I bring to this office," Boklund said. "I listen. I try to treat every person with respect and each case as my most important."

In 2006, Superior Court 4 was among the 10 busiest courts in Indiana.

Boklund is an honors graduate of Purdue University, a graduate of Valparaiso University School of Law, the Indiana Judicial College and the Indiana Graduate Program for Judges. In September, Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall Shepard named Boklund to the Board of Directors of the Indiana Judicial Conference, the policy making body for Indiana judges.
