LEFT JAB†AND “MIDDLE JAB†AND “RIGHT JABâ€
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE†columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB† column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB†AND “MIDDLE JAB†AND “RIGHT JABâ€Â several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB†is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB†is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so8

IPAC Cancels In-Person Winter Conference, Moves to Online
The IPAC team and the IPAC Executive Committee recently made the difficult decision to switch the IPAC Winter Conference from our typical in-person training program to a virtual conference this year, due to the ongoing safety risks of COVID-19. It is simply not feasible to host several hundred people for hours at a time in a conference setting. Â
Although we are disappointed to be unable to gather in person, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting a virtual Winter Conference in December, in conjunction with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and the Association of Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys, Inc. Over the past few months, the IPAC team has been doing a tremendous job of hosting a weekly webinar series and we are confident that Winter Conference will satisfy the high quality standards that we have come to expect with our trainings.Â
The agenda for this conference will feature top notch speakers from around the state and across the country who will educate on a variety of topics important to prosecutors. Â
The webinars will be presented over several days, similar to our in-person conferences with three to four speakers scheduled for a given day. Prosecutors do not have to commit to the entire conference and can register for as many or as few webinars as they want during the conference. The rate for the webinars will be $50 per hour of Continuing Legal Education credit.  There will be a minimum of eight total hours of CLE credit offered, which will include two hours of Ethics CLE credit. Â
As a result of the in-person conference being cancelled, IPAC will be pausing its annual awards ceremony for one year.Â
IPAC will be releasing the agenda as we get closer to December. For those still looking for CLEs this year, here is the listing of remaining CLE opportunities that will be offered through IPAC prior to Winter Conference. These can all be found on our website’s training page: www.IPAC.in.gov/2332.htm

Update on Operation Food recruitment efforts
Indiana FSSA has joined forces with Feeding Indiana’s Hungry to encourage Hoosiers to answer the urgent call to volunteer at one of Indiana’s food banks and other charitable food distribution sites.  Since we first placed this call to service on Sept. 14, more than 450 Hoosiers have volunteered! But several hundred more are still needed to help fully staff our state’s food banks as members of the Indiana National Guard end their temporary, six-month deployment.
Please help us spread the word that Hoosiers can volunteer by filling out a brief form at OperationFood.IN.gov. They will be contacted by their regional food bank to match them with volunteer assignments. The charitable food distribution network operates 13 regional locations across the state, which provide food for distribution to community-based pantries. Locations continue to face an increased demand for food by Hoosiers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Information from those who sign up to volunteer at OperationFood.IN.gov will be gathered by Feeding Indiana’s Hungry and shared with the charitable food network around the state. Potential volunteers may also reach out directly to a food bank in their area here.
