The Indiana Civil Rights Commission has delegated the statutory authority to preside over motions practice and to conduct hearings to an Administrative Law Judge. The Administrative Law Judge presides over cases once a finding of reasonable or probable cause has been made by the Indiana Civil Rights Commission.
Pursuant to Executive Order 20-05, the Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission modifies 910 IAC 1-11-1(g), which requires hearings to be open to the public, as follows: “All hearings of the commission under this article shall be made accessible to members of the public by electronic participation in a method deemed appropriate by the administrative law judge overseeing the administrative proceeding.”
The modification was enacted as a result of the health risks associated with large groups of people congregating during the COIVD-19 pandemic. Specifically, the modification protects the health of hearing participants as well as the health of members of the public. Below are the cases currently assigned to an Administrative Law Judge in which a hearing has been noticed. Additional information about cases can be obtained from the Docket Clerk at (317) 232-2600. Please select a notice for additional information as to how to electronically participate in the hearing.

The Commission is the ultimate authority for the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. When the assigned Administrative Law Judge issues a decision that fully disposes of a case, then the Commission must affirm the order before it becomes a final order. Alternatively, the Commission may dissolve or modify the Administrative Law Judge’s order.
Decisions concerning an Administrative Law Judge’s order are made during the Commission’s monthly meetings. Below are the decisions issued by the Commission in 2019.
Final decisions issued by the Commission prior to 2019 can be found here.
