I am hopeful that something good can and will emerge from our shared ordeal  It is with this in mind that I’m excited to announce a new social media campaign started by the Women and the Law Division Executive Committee – Find the Good. The goal of this campaign is to highlight IndyBar members who are finding good in life during this extraordinary time.

During this extraordinary time and beyond, the IndyBar is committed to bringing you the information, tools and resources you need to stay informed, stay connected and succeed in the legal profession.

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!

Formed in the spring of 2017, the WLD’s Beyond the Book Club was birthed out of a desire to create an engaging space to talk about women’s issues.

Many of our legal organizations, whether in the public or private sector, have acknowledged the benefits of having a diverse team by developing diversity commitments and taken steps to building a diverse team that more closely reflects the makeup of the clients they serve. That said, whether you are a law firm, an in-house legal team for a business, or a judge, building the right foundations for diversity within your team is important.

Undeniably, women have made great inroads into the private practice of law during my 35-year career. Yet, I believe working full time while simultaneously raising children remains a challenging hurdle to overcome.
