Indiana Court of Appeals

The Appellate Court was not intended to be a permanent institution; the original statute specified that it would only exist for six years.

But in 1897, the General Assembly voted to keep the court for another four years (due to the Supreme Court's increasing caseload), and then voted to make it permanent in 1901.

It also handles appeals from some state government agencies, such as the Worker's Compensation Board, Department of Workforce Development, and Utility Regulatory Commission.

[1] The court was originally created with nine judges: one three-judge panel for each of three districts.
