The Indiana Conference for Legal Education Opportunity (ICLEO) was established at the urging of former Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard by the Indiana General Assembly. In 1997, Governor Frank O’Bannon signed the law giving funding to ICLEO (see I.C. 33-24-13). ICLEO’s purpose then and now is to assist Indiana’s underrepresented college graduates in pursuing a law degree and a career in the Indiana legal community. The ICLEO Summer Institute is held annually to introduce new ICLEO students to the program.
