IndyBar’s Appellate Practice Section had an exceptional 2022. I had the pleasure of serving as chair, following Ruth Johnson and followed by Chris Bayh, both exceptional lawyers and leaders.

Thanks so much to you and the rest of our section’s roughly 150 members for your ongoing participation and support.

Here’s a rundown of what the section accomplished this year.

It’s been said that comedy is a serious business. And whether to incorporate humor into one’s legal advocacy can be an especially serious dilemma for litigators and appellate practitioners. Where do you stand?

In January 2022 when I (Josh) took the reins as chair of the IndyBar’s Appellate Practice Section, the Executive Committee underwent a friendly but notable transition: the “uh-mee-kuss” committee became the “AM-uh-kuss” committee.
