Who can step into Superior Court 3, or any court, and not only improve the effectiveness of the system, but the overall system in general? Experience does matter and we need the candidate with the most diverse legal experience across the board.
While watching the candidates forum, all the candidates were asked the question of why they deserve the voters vote. Miner stated he deserved the vote because he is a lifetime resident of Kosciusko County and has experience as the pro tem judge. Bishop stated he has practiced law for over 20 years and won several awards and McGrath evaded the question about why she deserves the vote all while claiming substantial and diverse experience. However, that is hard to believe since she has only been in private practice for approximately two years. However, there was one candidate that during this forum that actually explained their diverse background in law, showing they are without a doubt the most experienced and the right person for this job, which is Grossnickle.
Grossnickle is the right person to walk into any courtroom and be able to utilize her extensive and diverse background of the law and improve the effectiveness of the system as a whole. During her campaign, Grossnickle has been adamant that her resume is simply unmatched by other candidates – which is true. During the candidate forum, all candidates were asked how they could improve the effectiveness of the court, and the term problem solving court rooms was mentioned. Grossnickle is already utilizing a problem solving court in Whitley County and has shown incredible success doing so with a group that is often ignored in our community which are not only veterans, but also juveniles in the criminal court system. Grossnickle has been able to utilize the approach of problem solving courts to meet the specific needs of the offenders, regardless if they are a veteran, a juvenile or a second offense DUI offender. Being able to take the approach of using tailored courts to meet the needs of specific at risk groups is extremely necessary and vital to reduce reoccurring offenders. In a world with diverse needs, especially when it comes to the law, we need judges that not only understand, but embrace the idea that not one size fits all when sentencing an offender.
Not only has Grossnickle been practicing and embracing a problem solving court method, with great success, she is also highly experienced with a diverse legal background. Her extensive background in law spreads from being a law clerk for the Indiana Court of Appeals, nearly 20 years of hands on courtroom experience, not only a registered but a practicing mediator, and extensive civil, criminal, municipal, youth and family law experience. Grossnickle has been able to utilize her problem solving court methods by being cocoordinator for the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative in not only Kosciusko County, but also Whitley County, and is a strong advocate for the young child.
