During this challenging time, the IndyBar is dedicated to making many of our services, resources and tools available to members online so that you can keep thriving in your practice, even from home!

All hearings and meetings conducted by the Marion County Courts, Indiana are recorded and are the official court proceedings. All parties and participants are required to follow the protocols noted in this post.

See this post for a listing of email addresses for emergency contacts for each court in Marion Superior Court. 

If you’re like me, you’re in your home office, trying to get work done while listening to your son play Mario Brothers on an original Nintendo, while speaking to the screen in an English accent. Not exactly?

Hello again, solo and small firm practitioners of the quarantine! I bring you resources!

A large part of our profession, especially that of a small or solo practitioner, is networking and making connections to keep the wheels of business turning. Nearly every business in Indiana has implemented reduced hours or closures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and law firms are no exception.

Hon. Alicia Gooden has provided updated contacts and information regarding both the Marion Superior and Marion Circuit Courts.

The CLE programming and events for this year’s Bench Bar Conference are designed to coincide with these developments, which we have coined “Bridging the Gap.” On behalf of myself and the other chairs for this year’s Bench Bar Conference, registration is now open, and we are looking forward to a phenomenal few days in beautiful French Lick from June 18-20.

Today, everyone is connected online through social media. In addition, everyone knows what others are up to because of social media. Whether it is to show friends what their significant other made for dinner or how cute their kids are on Halloween. Some people use it as a way to release tension (family, work or political) while others use it as a way of getting attention (a.k.a. “influencers.”) Regardless of what you use social media for, it can be an affordable and effective method of creating brand awareness and marketing your legal services or your Law Firm’s legal services. 

This year, IndyBar members engaged in some community service by serving at our local Ronald McDonald House. Led by Patty McKinnon, members of the Solo and Small Firm Division, Family Law Section, Paralegal Committee and their families, prepared and served dinner for all who attended.
