On Oct. 10, Taft was presented with the Indiana Law-Related Education Award by the Indiana Bar Foundation and Indiana Pro Bono Commission at the Randall T. Shepard Reception.

The Law-Related Education Award recognizes lawyers, law firms or bar organizations for excellence in providing information that enhances the public’s understanding of the law and the legal system. Taft was recognized for its partnership with Ralph Waldo Emerson School 58, specifically the Law Exploratory and Career Readiness Program that the firm helped create with the United Way for sixth graders. The program has been offered the past two school years.
