Shepard Justice, Indiana Supreme Court, 1985-2012 Chief Justice of Indiana, 1987-2012	2012	7	.pdf	application/pdf	3925	159	53	(eliminating cases of life imprisonment and imprisonment greater than fifty years from the court’s mandatory jurisdiction). 2012] CHIEF JUSTICE RANDALL T. SHEPARD 591 judges to provide ongoing fair and equitable treatment, which resulted in a major restoration of judicial morale and productivity.26 Any reflection on the contributions of Chief Justice Randall Shepard would be incom plete without recognizing his significant national influence and leadership. As a profound visionary with great passion for Indiana judicial excellence; an abiding concern and respect for the citizens whose lives may be affected by the judiciary; a thorough understanding and appreciation for the role and responsibilities of the judiciary as one of the three co-equal branches of government; a deeply embedded personal civility, decency, and integrity; an enormous intellect; and an uncanny gift for inspiring, encouraging, and motivating colleagues and staff to undertake and achieve substantial accomplishments, Chief Justice Randall Shepard has dramatically exceeded his goal of building Indiana’s judiciary into “a system of justice that befits a great nation.”	cache/inlawrev-18000.pdf	txt/inlawrev-18000.txt
