Professionalism

IndyBar Professionalism Efforts

The Indianapolis Bar Association is committed to reducing image related barriers that may keep some from obtaining legal advice and that may create distance in some attorney-client relationships. Through the IndyBar's Standing Committee on Professionalism, our members are working to improve public confidence and trust in lawyers through activities that (a) promote positive lawyer images in the Indianapolis community and (b) educate members and the public on how to avoid those circumstances that can lead to client distrust and dissatisfaction.

Recognizing Professionalism
