Margaret Callahan

Indianapolis, Indiana

State courts, family law, religious liberty and the rule of law close to home.

Freedom is protected one ruling, one family and one community at a time.

Her story

Margaret grew up in Indianapolis, the oldest of eight in an Irish Catholic family. Her father was a police officer and her mother ran the parish food pantry.

She was a family-law attorney and a county prosecutor before serving twenty years on the bench, finishing her career on the state supreme court.

Now retired, she explains the law and what it means for families across America.
