• The Structural Reform Team, co-chaired by John Gaidoo, Assistant General Counsel, Cummins, Inc., and Joseph Smith, Partner, Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath, will collaborate to provide research, policy recommendations and education on best practices, primarily in policing focused on the treatment of Black residents in Indianapolis equitably and with dignity.
• The Pro Bono Legal Services Team, chaired by Myra Selby, former Indiana Supreme Court Justice and Ice Miller Partner, will create urgent surge capacity for pro bono legal services providers from the private sector legal community. This team will focus on such issues as the flood of housing evictions expected to occur when the state’s temporary moratorium on such actions is lifted.
