DESCRIPTION:For the first time in its history\, the Indiana Supreme Court w

 . This will honor social distancing during the ongoing public health emerg
 ency caused by COVID-19.\n\nIndiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush explained\,
  "Trial court judges across the state are adjusting operations to hear cas
 es remotely. The Supreme Court has also kept our docket moving by holding 
 conferences each week and will be hearing oral arguments using videoconfer
 encing. Our appellate clerk's office continues to accept e-filings\, the C
 ourt is meeting remotely several times a week\, and we are regularly handi
 ng down orders and opinions."\n\nCases will be heard on Thursday\, May 14 
 starting at 9:00 a.m. EDT. The first case will be Tammi Clark\, as Rep. of
  Estate of Kandace Pyles v. Samer Mattar\, M.D. The second case\, Brandon 
 Lawrence Johnson v. State of Indiana\, is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m.
  Six more cases are scheduled for remote oral argument on May 21 and May 2
 7. See more information online.\n\nSupreme Court justices and attorneys wi
 ll interact with each other using Zoom webconferencing software. The resul
 ting video and audio will be available to the press and the public on the 
 Court’s existing live-stream website.\n\nThe Office of Judicial Administ
 ration will work with attorneys in advance of oral arguments to help them 
 set up their Zoom connection with the Court. Under this arrangement\, each
  of the justices and the lawyers will be in separate locations that are vi
 deoconferenced together for the usual question and answer interplay during
  arguments.\n\nThe Indiana Supreme Court first began live-streaming oral a
 rguments in 2001. There are more than 1100 archived online. The Court also
