While the Supreme Court of Indiana dates from the State's first Constitution adopted in 1816, the concept of a second appellate-level court to serve the entire State originated with an enactment of the General Assembly in 1891. Then known as the Appellate Court of Indiana, it was created to relieve growing caseloads of the Supreme Court. Today's Court of Appeals was created as a Constitutional Court by amendment to the Constitution ratified in 1970, and came Into being on January 1, 1972.
