United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana was created in 1928 by an act of Congress that split Indiana into two separate districts, northern and southern. The Southern District is divided into four divisions, Indianapolis, Terre Haute¹, Evansville and New Albany. This court is part of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The court has five judges, four full-time magistrate judges and two part-time magistrate judges. The current United States Attorney is Susan W. Brooks.

Note

1. The future of the Terre Haute Division is in doubt. Because the federal building that it occupies will be transferred to the control of Indiana State University, the District Court announced that the division would cease operations on January 1, 2006. However, on October 18, 2005, Chief Judge Larry J. McKinney announced that the division would remain open while the court works with the General Services Administration on the matter of relocation.
