The practice-area specific Bill Watch reports for Feb. 21 are now available. The reports highlight the pending bills of particular concern to different sections within the bar.

Final preparations are being made for the IndyBar's big move to 140 N. Illinois St.

The would-be angler Marvin Mears took an unexpected trip to the Supreme Court of Indiana after he caught a fish without bait. The law in Indiana said that “[i]t shall be unlawful for any person to take . . . or attempt to take . . . any fish in the waters of this state . . . by any means other than angling with hook and line.” Mr. Mears didn’t reasonably believe that the Indiana General Assembly intended to outlaw his scheme. He was “angling with hook and line” after all. Or so he thought.

Our new space at 140 N. Illinois St. opens NEXT WEEK! We're so excited for you to see it and take advantage of all the opportunities it provides. Until then, catch up on IndyBar news and events here.

February is Black History Month. Area students may be learning about the successes of Madam C.J. Walker and Marshall “Major” Taylor. Perhaps you’ve read about the importance of Indiana Avenue to our City’s past. The EEOC and the ICRC both recognize Black History Month as a reminder of the importance of the civil rights movement. 

The practice-area specific Bill Watch reports for Feb. 14 are now available. The reports highlight the pending bills of particular concern to different sections within the bar.
