Benjamin admitted to practice law before U.S. Supreme Court

Bartholomew Circuit Court Judge Kelly Benjamin has been admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar recently.

Benjamin will now be able to appear before, and present cases to the Supreme Court as an attorney.

Benjamin said it was a humbling experience to walk into the Supreme Court to be admitted with all of the Supreme Court Justices present. She said that the 10 attorneys from Indiana who were admitted, also had a short visit with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. She called it an amazing opportunity and honor and a culminating lifetime event. And thanked the Indiana State Bar Association or assisting with the process.

Benjamin has been an attorney for 32 years and was first elected to the Circuit Court in 2017. As Circuit Court judge she hears cases include criminal felonies, family law, civil law and probate cases. She serves as vice president of the Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress in Bartholomew County and previously headed ASAP’s intervention section.
