Indiana Lawyer

While her colleagues already knew she was among the best in her field, Indiana Southern District U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division chief Cindy Cho is now nationally known for her work. Cho is one of five attorneys to receive the Federal Bar Association's 2021 Younger Federal Lawyer Award, which recognizes outstanding government and military attorneys across the United States. IL reporter Katie Stancombe spoke with Cho and her colleagues about the recent honor. This week's Focus section features two topics: real estate/construction law and new lawyers. IL senior reporter Marilyn Odendahl has a story on Indiana's lawyer shortage and Katie explored construction defects and how they rarely rise to personal harm for end users. In other news, IL managing editor Jordan Morey gives his report from the Indiana State Bar Association Annual Summit and writes about how Indiana Legal Services has created a wellness program to address the mental health of its employees. All that in more in the Oct. 27, 2021, issue of Indiana Lawyer.
