It is in our best interest for ourselves and our work productivity to unplug, refresh and recharge!

The IndyBar has some updates that you may want to share with your section members or colleagues. Please note: some of these opportunities have fast-approaching deadlines.

New for 2017: take a look at this video message from committee chair Arlene Morris and get an idea of what you can expect from the Paralegal Committee this year.

The Paralegal Committee is giving away MONEY! Well, not exactly money, but close! One lucky member will win a $25 Visa gift card in June.
