Mayor May Be Shorn of Duty in Indiana Cities
Legal experts interpret a new magistrate court act as potentially stripping mayors of judicial authority in several Indiana cities after June 30. The measure aims to move traffic cases from Justice of the Peace courts, but a section may bar certain city leaders from serving as city judges. The act grants county courts jurisdiction over crimes and related proceedings, altering traditional local justice roles.
