  • director: refers to the state personnel director appointed under section 14 of this chapter. See Indiana Code 4-15-2.2-7
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy.

For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • state civil service: means public service by individuals who are subject to this chapter. See Indiana Code 4-15-2.2-10
