The past decade has seen enormous change in the Indiana Courts. From the advancement of problem-solving courts and the advent of electronic filing to solving Indiana’s attorney shortage, the push has been on to improve the return on Hoosiers’ investment in the courts. Those advances have been championed and in many cases, driven by, the Indiana Supreme Court. 

What’s been behind this drive to make the courts better? What’s next?
 
On this episode of INSession, we’ll find out. We are talking to Indiana’s Chief Justice, the Honorable Loretta Rush about the past, present and future of the Indiana judiciary. 

Our wide-ranging conversation covers civics and transparency, trust in public institutions, the value of mercy in criminal justice, the future of artificial intelligence in the courts and many more interesting topics.

Men and women who stood before a Judge just weeks before, stand before their families and friends to celebrate the relaunch of their lives. It’s Drug Court graduation day. A day when those whose lives have been hijacked by drugs and alcohol take back their stories and choose their futures. We have told you about Drug Court before, from the perspective of those who run the program. Now hear the stories of the brave people who have been there - Drug Court graduates - about their journey from addiction to recovery.
