In the Matter of the Honorable Mickey K. Weber, Judge of the Clarksville Town Court

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court accepted a conditional agreement for discipline concerning Mickey K. Weber, Judge of the Clarksville Town Court. The Court found that Weber violated judicial conduct rules after driving under the influence in Kentucky and causing property damage, with prior alcohol-related legal issues serving as an aggravating factor. The Court imposed a public reprimand, required his resignation effective December 31, 2014, and made future judicial service contingent on completing an approved treatment plan and two-year monitoring agreement.

Holdings

1. Weber's alcohol-related driving, criminal conduct, and resulting convictions violated Judicial Conduct Rules 1.1 and 1.2.
2. The Court accepted the parties' conditional agreement and reprimanded Weber, required his resignation from the Clarksville Town Court effective December 31, 2014, made him ineligible for future Indiana judicial service unless he successfully completed an approved treatment plan and two-year JLAP monitoring agreement, and terminated the disciplinary proceedings concerning the underlying conduct.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Weber's alcohol-related conduct violated Indiana Judicial Conduct Rules 1.1 and 1.2.
2. Whether the stipulated public reprimand, resignation, future judicial-service restriction, treatment and monitoring requirements, and assessment of costs constituted appropriate discipline.
