Constitution of the State of Indiana (1851)

Adopted 1851. Its declaration of rights sits in Article 1 (Bill of Rights). This court has the final word on what the Indiana constitution means.

Mixed approach

How a state reads its own rights provisions relative to the federal floor, lockstep vs departure.

State-court structure and selection methods are from official and reference sources; the justice roster is point-in-time. Civibrief carries each state's highest court (lower state courts are out of scope for now).
