Caryn Glawe Discusses Indiana Bar Foundation Civics Summit With Indiana Lawyer

In “Summit Meant to Move the Needle on Civics Education,” Indiana Lawyer reported on the Indiana Bar Foundation Civics Summit happening April 13. The publication turned to Caryn Glawe, insurance partner and chair of the Indiana Bar Foundation board, to discuss the first-of-its-kind summit in Indianapolis.

Glawe, who will moderate a summit session about the legal community’s role in civics, explained that many people who decided to go to law school did so because they wanted to advance justice and promote constitutional protections. “It’s also important for us to give back and help educate others on our system of government, our role as citizens and how we can exercise our rights,” she said.

Glawe added that people in the legal profession are in a good position to share knowledge, especially with students and younger people. The civics summit will bring together people who are focused on that work and give them a chance to brainstorm and work together. “Part of it was just knowing there are a lot of great minds and great energy around this and wanting to bring those people together,” she noted.
