    Episode 23: A Conversation With Chief Justice Loretta Rush
    2024/10/18
    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.

    2023/11/21
    Hundreds of times each year in Allen County, people have their driving privileges suspended. That suspension can come for a variety of reasons, from being convicted of a crime to being behind on child support to failing to pay car insurance. But the result is the same.

In some cases, though, a limited lifeline might be available for suspended drivers who still need to do the essentials of life while those legal problems work their way through the process. On this episode of INSession we’re talking about Specialized Driving Privileges: Who’s eligible, how to apply and what it all means. On this episode, we mention several helpful website links.
