Meet the Women and the Law Division Member of the Month for May: Hannah Oates, Associate at Ice Miller LLP.

Join us June 11-13 in French Lick for Bench Bar 2026, where members of the bench and bar come together for CLE, networking, and meaningful professional connection. This year’s program features keynote presentations from Super Bowl champion Gary Brackett on adaptability and David "DJ" Gross on practical AI skills, along with breakout sessions covering topics like digital assets, crimmigration, voir dire strategy, and judicial best practices. With opportunities to unwind through golf, pickleball, yoga, and evening social events, the conference blends practical learning with the chance to strengthen relationships across the legal community.
