Judge Andrew Bloch (seated front row, center in above left photo) was honored with his official robing ceremony on Wednesday afternoon at the Historic Courthouse in downtown Noblesville. He was appointed to the Hamilton County Circuit Court bench by Governor Eric Holcomb to fill the seat vacated by Judge Paul Felix, who was appointed to the Indiana Court of Appeals last summer. Bloch served as a magistrate judge in Hamilton County Circuit and Superior Courts since 2019.

Bloch is currently unopposed on the May 7 primary ballot to be elected to a full term on the circuit court.
