The establishment of the Magistrate’s Court represents a transformative step in streamlining the county’s judicial system. The Magistrate’s Court has assisted in alleviating protracted proceedings and lengthy backlogs. The Magistrate Court has assumed general jurisdiction with cases allocated in accordance with LR26-AR1-04. This strategic move enables an on-going process to provide more expedient resolution of cases in Gibson County.
The Magistrate of the Gibson Circuit and Superior Courts is assigned the following cases beginning July 1, 2021: 1.) Circuit Court cases: JC, JT; and RS, JD, JM, JS, JQ, JP, and all Circuit Court DC, DR, and RS cases involving the Prosecuting Attorney’s Title IV-D Child Support Office or if the juvenile has been identified under IND.

There may be instances in which the Magistrate may be assigned and/or hear other types of cases in the discretion of the Circuit and Superior Court Judges.
