Robert H. McKinney School of Law. He is also a graduate of the Indiana Judicial College and the Graduate Program for Indiana Judges.[5]

.
In October 2010 he was appointed a Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court by then-Governor Mitch Daniels (R).
In 2008, while he was serving as Chief Defense Counsel, David complained that the Defense branch of the Office of Military Commission had not been allocated sufficient resources.[6][7][8][9]
According to Salim Ahmed Hamdan, in August 2008.[10]
He was critical of the way the commission had relied on hearsay evidence, secret testimony, and that evidence of abusive interrogation had been suppressed.
Notable Opinions
A majority opinion in "Barnes vs. Indiana", Justice David is infamous for writing the controversial majority opinion stating: "We hold that there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers."

Nor does it ensure that the other 19 detainees due to be prosecuted will have their rights protected. As Colonel Steven David, Hamdan's defence counsel, said afterwards, the trial was marked by the acceptance of hearsay evidence and secret testimony, restrictions on media coverage and allegations of abusive interrogations. It was time, he said, to scrap this "mess".
