There are public servants. And there are GREAT public servants. The difference is measured in how they use their time and talents. Allen Superior Court Judge David Avery is one of those great public servants. For the past 24 years, he has served as not only as a judge, but as an ally for people in Allen County, Indiana, most in need of help and hope, all without fanfare or attention. He's retiring at the end of 2024, so we thought it was time to introduce you to him - even though he's been hard at work in the civl courts for years. On this episode of INSession we're talking to Judge Avery, reflecting on his years of service and offering words of advice for the next generation of lawyers and judges.
