Federal Justice in Indiana
The History of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana

By George W. Geib and Donald B. Kite Sr.
(Indianapolis: Indiana Historical Society Press, 2007. Pp. xix, 335. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95.)

The authors are, respectively, an academic who specializes in Indiana history, and an Indianapolis attorney who earlier served as a clerk for the judges of the Southern District. Although not part of a series, the book appears at a time when numerous works on midwestern state legal and judicial history are being produced, including those comprising the Ohio University Press series on Law, Society, and Politics in the Midwest.
