IndyBar President’s Message: Online and Your Time
By Kerry Hyatt Blomquist, Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence & 2013 IndyBar President
Last night after work, I learned a lot about the art and science behind truly effective direct and cross-examination from colleagues Phil Isenbarger and John Kautzman, IndyBar past presidents, 2013 board members and a couple of the best litigators around. I’ve been practicing law for more than 20 years but listening to great trial lawyers talk about their passion and skill in a courtroom is always enlightening, never ever boring, and just plain fun.

IndyBar President’s Message: Lawyers Confront Human Trafficking
By Kerry Hyatt Blomquist, Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence & 2013 IndyBar President
One of the great benefits of being an IndyBar member for me is the chance to be around other lawyers; and great lawyers at that. My professional world at the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence does not allow me the opportunity to be with other members of my profession, so I get my lawyer “fix” through the bar. I get to step out of the fast paced survivor centered work I love, and for lack of a better way of saying it, play in the sandbox. Dance with the Devil. See how the other half lives. Continue reading

TRAC Rolls Back to Indy April 9 & 10
By Wes Zirkle, Just Marketing International
Indianapolis prides itself as the “racing capital of the world.” Even as a young boy growing up in Northern Indiana, I knew that Indianapolis had something special because of the city’s indelible connection to motor racing. Much has been said about the importance of motor racing not only to Indianapolis, but also to Indiana (as was evidenced by a Purdue University study published in September 2012). But even as numerous industries in Indiana have benefited enormously from motorsports, for many years the benefit to the legal community of Indiana was less certain. Continue reading
