(La Porte, IN) -  A La Porte County judge is helping to spearhead judicial reform in Indiana.
A group called the Judicial Conference of Indiana represents some 400 judges across the state.  This week, they released a plan for legal reform in Hoosier courtrooms.

La Porte Superior Court Judge, Richard Stalbrink Jr., co-chairs the committee that issued the plan.  Among the suggestions are increasing courtroom safety, increased use of technology, and centralizing the means of paying for county courts.

This is the group's first strategic plan initiative since 2010.
