    Episode 23: A Conversation With Chief Justice Loretta Rush

    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.
