Attorney Joan Kouros of Gary, IN; extreme slacker

 
The state of Indiana provided Joan Kouros with a law license in 1983.
 
In 1997, former Governor Evan Bayh was duped into appointing Joan Kouros as a Superior Court judge in Crown Point. Clearly Joan wasn’t the most qualified attorney in the Crown Point area. She likely obtained the appointment after spending years as a compliant lackey for the local political hacks.
 
At one time Joan Kouros was a sitting judge on the Lake County Superior Court in Crown Point, Indiana. During her tenure on the bench, the Dishonorable Judge Kouros was found guilty of the following misconduct by the Indiana Judicial commission.
 
Judge Kouros proved that she was either unable or unwilling to issue timely and documented decisions in cases assigned to her, causing real-life consequences for the victims whose legal matter were pending before her. In addition, the Commission found that the measures that Joan allegedly took to remedy her extreme laziness proved to be unreliable.
 
Five of Joan’s cases involved delays of five to six months, one involved a delay of ten months, three involved delays of fourteen to fifteen months, and one involved a delay of twenty-seven months.
 
As a consequence of her misconduct, the Indiana Supreme Court ordered that Joan be removed from the bench. However, the comedians on the Supreme Court specifically refused to suspend Joan’s law license and/or to permanently disbar her.
 
As we speak (ca. April 2012) Lazy Joan practices at 555 Polk Street in Gary.
