Bench Bar Conference Scholarships Now Available for Criminal Justice Section Members

"The Criminal Justice Section has great news for those who have ever been interested in attending Bench Bar, but just couldn't justify the cost. Thanks to a generous donation from Celeste Berry, wife of the late Gil Berry, the Section will be awarding three 2016 Bench Bar scholarships. Bench Bar will be held from June 16-18 at the beautiful French Lick Springs Resort and Spa. The scholarship includes all costs of program registration for all CLEs and two nights lodging.  The deadline for applications is May 6, 2016.
This is the perfect opportunity to get involved and meet judges and lawyers from across the State in a wide range of legal areas. For more information on eligibility and details about the conference, please visit www.indybenchbar.org. We hope to see you there!"
