08/22/2016
Professor Joel Schumm, ’98, has been appointed to the Indiana Coalition for Court Access. Justice Steven David, ’82, appointed him to the organization.
The group is the result of a merger of three former committees: the Indiana Pro Bono Commission, the Indiana Commission to Expand Access to Civil Legal Services, and the Indiana Supreme Court Committee on Unrepresented Litigants. The new organization was created by the Indiana Supreme Court to provide a focused and comprehensive organizational structure for Indiana’s civil legal aid organizations. The 17 group members will manage all Supreme Court related programs designed to provide civil legal aid to those with limited financial resources.
Professor Schumm is a magna cum laude graduate of the law school, and director of the IU McKinney Appellate Clinic. In addition, he is director of the Judicial Externship Program, and director of Experiential Learning at the law school.
