The deadline to register for this year's statewide civil legal aid conference is this Friday, September 27. Join us on October 4 for a variety of civil legal aid and pro bono sessions (5 CLE credits). Rep. Susan Brooks will speak at the opening breakfast plenary.
The Indiana Bar Foundation will host six We the People regional competitions in November, and we are seeking 200 volunteer judges from around the state to make them a success. Prior We the People experience is not necessary as training will be provided onsite.
