| Judges Needed for Mock Trial Competitions |
The Foundation is hosting three regional High School Mock Trial competitions next month. The first will be in South Bend on February 10, and separate competitions will be in Hammond and Indianapolis on February 17. Volunteers do not need to be experienced litigators, or even attorneys, as there is a need for both scoring judges and presiding judges. Competition rules require three-judge panels, so please consider volunteering, because the need is great. For more details on how to volunteer,

Indiana to Host Mock Trial 2020 in Evansville
|
Would you like to help organize this national event in 2020? There are plenty of small but important components to act on now. We're particularly in search of alumni, regardless of where or when you participated in mock trial, to share your story of its impact on your life, career choice, or skill set. If you didn't get the chance to read the Indiana Lawyer story with the announcement, you can find it
here. Visit the 2020 National High School Mock Trial Championship
website and
let us know if you are interested in volunteering. A staff member or volunteer will be in touch with more information.

Communications Survey Results

Thanks to everyone who responded to a survey posted last quarter. In the interest of transparency, the survey results will be available
here until February 15 for review. We have discussed the results with our volunteer leadership and will be using much of this information to tweak our communications as we move into 2018 and beyond. Questions may be directed to
Theresa Browning, CFRE.

Deferred or Real Estate Donations
|
When you think of deferred giving, do you think about the value a stock or real estate donation might bring to the mission you care about? Have you considered how donating an asset you no longer need could help further your goals for the legal profession? Donating material items could help you establish an endowment at the Foundation that furthers your goals for the profession and the colleagues who have meant so much to you. Who have helped you not just make a living but make the world better by promoting civic values, civility in the profession, and charitable deeds for those who cannot afford a private attorney. For a confidential conversation, contact
Chuck Dunlap, J.D.,
Theresa Browning, CFRE, or your financial advisor.
