Cady was “a champion of juvenile justice and family justice reform, Indiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush said in a news release announcing the name change.
The initiative’s work “imbues processes involving families with the decency and civility that Chief Justice Cady embodied, Alaska Chief Justice Joel Bolger, the current chair of the Cady Initiative for Family Justice Reform, said in the release.
The vote to rename the initiative to The Cady Initiative for Family Justice Reform occurred in February at a meeting of the Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators.
