Gov. Eric Holcomb on Monday named Wabash County Judge Christopher Goff to the state Supreme Court, completing the five-member court. Holcomb announced Goff as his choice from among three finalists chosen by Indiana’s Judicial Nominating Commission for the vacancy created by Justice Robert Rucker’s retirement. The two other finalists were Boone County Judge Matthew Kincaid and Clark County Judge Vicki Carmichael.
Goff will replace Rucker, who retired in May after 18 years on the court.
