-: Good morning, my name's Tom Clem
and I'm the judge in the Madison County, Indiana
Circuit Court Division Five.
I have a unique array of cases,
I go all the way from the small claims,
relatively routine cases, all the way to
very, very complex civil litigation.
I'm presiding over a case right now that involves
a genetic seed cord company that's headquartered
in Bern, Switzerland, it involves several countries,
it's a multinational litigation, it's a $3 billion case,
and then on the criminal side,
honestly I suffer from what most criminal law judges
suffer from, and that's the opiod crisis.
The case loads are exploding,
so there's a lot of challenges.
