Josh Adair
Joshua Adair was appointed Magistrate Judge for the Hendricks Superior Courts in September of 2022. Magistrate Adair was selected by the current elected Judges of the Hendricks Superior Courts to preside over Hendricks County’s small claims, eviction, proceeding supplemental and criminal initial hearings. In addition, Magistrate Adair serves on Hendricks County’s Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC). Magistrate Adair’s legal career began at the Hendricks County Prosecutor’s Office where he conducted many jury and bench trials while overseeing the juvenile docket and prosecuting felony offenses in adult court. This experience put him in the courtroom multiple days per week and helped him develop a deep respect for Judges and their decision-making process. Magistrate Adair left the Prosecutor’s Office for Private Practice where he learned to manage client expectations and worked on a variety of case types including family law, estate planning/guardianships and civil litigation. He also served as a public defender in both felony adult court and in CHINS (Child in Need of Services) Court. Magistrate Adair’s extensive legal background, as well as his judicial experience as a Magistrate Judge, uniquely qualify him to effectively serve Hendricks County as Judge of Hendricks Superior Court 1 |

Scott Knierim
My name is Judge Scott Knierim. I have lived in Plainfield for over 20 years with my wife Erica, and our three children. For over 21 years I have practiced law, starting out as a Deputy Prosecutor, and then moving on to owning my own law firm. I have practiced in almost every facet of the law, including 50 Jury Trials. I am currently the elected Judge of the Plainfield Town Court. In that compacity I run the Court, conduct trials, issue orders, and make judicial decisions in a variety of cases. I am a former Officer in the Indiana National Guard, and current member of the American Legion. Given that experience I would like to explore the creation of a Veteran’s Court for Hendricks County. This would allow our Veterans a specialized court to assist with their issues in the criminal justice system. I am a past President of the Hendricks Count Election Board. I am a member of the Rotary International Club. Additionally, I have taught Legal Research and Civil Procedure as an Adjunct Professor at Ivy Tech State College. I would appreciate your vote for Judge of Hendricks Superior Court 1. |
