That mentor was Judge John Daniel Tinder of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. I found him to be an engaging and intelligent judge, so I was pleased to see that President Bush has nominated Judge Tinder to replace retiring Judge Daniel A. Manion on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. While in law school, and for a brief time after, I created and operated a website called Indiana Barrister, which still exists and is run by colleagues, albeit with a somewhat different focus. There I created a feature titled "The Ten Spot," where I would interview judges throughout the state and country. The first judge to participate in that was Judge Tinder. You can read the insightful interview here. Update: Gary Welsh thinks one of Judge Tinder's answers to "The Ten Spot" may be "one that some members of the Senate Judiciary Committee may ask him to elaborate on during his confirmation hearing." I would agree. Posted by Joshua Claybourn at July 17, 2007 08:17 PM CommentsFor those from Indianapolis, I think that Tinder is a Brebeuf graduate. I think he also has something to with one of the "Turkey Trot" races in Indianapolis. Also, I do not see a Wikipedia article about him, so maybe an In The Agora reader could be the one to create it.
