The Indiana Supreme Court established the Indiana Innovation Initiative on September 24, 2019. As part of the Initiative, they created the Family Law Taskforce to evaluate existing research on court reform, strategies to improve court processes, and the impact of innovation in other states, and then provide a written report with findings and recommendations. Chaired by Court of Appeals Judge Elizabeth Tavitas—with members including judges, law professors, mediators, family law practitioners, and Office of Judicial Administration employees—the taskforce conferred with experts from around the country to educate members and create the framework for their recommendations.
