Dubois County Court Docket Structure
Three courts handle the caseload in Dubois County. The Circuit Court is presided over by Judge Nathan H. Verkamp. He hears felony cases, larger civil matters, and contested family law proceedings. Superior Court I falls under Judge Lisa L. Burger, who manages a mix of civil and criminal work. Superior Court II, with Judge William C.
