ISBA Members in the Wild

ISBA members make their mark locally and nationally. Over 2,100 attendees—including a strong Hoosier contingent—attended the 2023 NAPABA Convention in Indianapolis to discuss cutting-edge legal developments, celebrate shared achievements, and emphasize the power of showing up.

Twelve state bar members also traveled to Washington, D.C. to be sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court. The group watched a three-hour oral argument with all nine justices, toured various parts of the capital, and took their oath in front of Chief Justice Roberts. It’s an emotional ceremony that everyone has their own personal connections to. As attendee Amanda Owens Blackketter shared:

My father G. Douglass “Doug” Owens passed away January 13, 2023. Dad practiced law in Pendleton for 50+ years until his health prevented him from doing so in his 80s. Mom and Dad raised five children on a four-acre “mini farm.” My oldest brother, Bryce Owens, is also an attorney in Pendleton, and they maintained an office together for decades. Both my dad and brother were admitted to practice in the U.S. Supreme Court many years ago. In fact, my dad made the oral motion to admit my brother before the Court.

Being admitted to practice in the U.S. Supreme Court had always been something I intended to do, but life is busy, isn’t it? Getting married after law school, establishing a practice, raising children…the list goes on.

This year, when I saw that the admission ceremony would be November 29, I knew it was time. You see, that is my dad’s birthday. I applied right away but was wait-listed. Imagine my joy when I received the email a few months later that a spot had opened up! My husband and I traveled to Washington D.C. for the swearing-in ceremony. It was everything I hoped it would be, and I highly recommend it. Thank you to the ISBA for this opportunity!

Congratulations to the 2023 inductees: Amanda Owens Blackketter, James Carlberg, Daniel Cueller, Hon. Thomas Felts, Jaclyn Flint, Hon. John Hanley, April Keaton, Brian McDermott, Dorothy McDermott, William Niemier, Jacqueline Ponder, and Terry Tolliver.

Diversity Committee: Helping Shape Future Legal Minds

The Diversity Committee has been instrumental in pathway initiatives. In November, Rob Love, Patricia Kinney, and Raymond Dudlo discussed opportunities present in the legal profession with high school students at Bosse High School.

The committee also sponsored the full-day Middle School Law Camp at IU McKinney. The camp, hosted by Just the Beginning—A Pipeline Organization, brought approximately 70 students from South Bend and Indianapolis together with judges and attorneys to learn about various pathways into the profession.

Family Law: Empowering Members Through Education

The Family & Juvenile Law Section awarded three scholarships to the Family Law Institute—each named in honor of an influential figure in the field: Andrew Mallor, Andrew Soshnick, and Debra Dubovitch. The three scholarships were granted to Aimbrell Holmes, Catlin Kid, and Aarti Wolenski.

The section also hosted two town hall meetings within the past few months to share their comments and learn more about changes to the Child Support Rules and Guidelines and the proposed GAL Guidelines for Civil Family Law Cases.

Military & Veterans’ Affairs: Bridging Law and Service

The Military & Veterans’ Affairs Committee provided content for the annual Battlemind to Home Summit, hosted by the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University. Topics included VA accreditation, the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), and a mock veterans treatment court.

Litigation Section: Updating Legal Rules

Last year, the Litigation Section proposed amendments to a few rules, including Trial Rule 30(C), striking the rule’s reference to Rule 43(B). That amendment was enacted on October 4 with the Order Amending Rules of Trial Procedure.

Pro Bono Committee: Supporting the Hoosier Community

The Pro Bono Committee has made sharing your legal knowledge and participating in pro bono service easier. Get a refresher on commonly raised topics in pro bono cases—from paternity and divorce actions to eviction sealings—with the 6.0 hr. CLE/1.0 hr. Ethics Pro Bono Prep – CLE Bundle.

Then, use the bundle to prepare for your own pro bono cases or join the ISBA for “Talk to a Lawyer Today: Clearing the Queue.” ISBA members will be working to clear out the more than 300 unanswered questions on Indiana Legal Answers. Volunteers who sign up for a two-hour shift in person on MLK Day or who agree to answer five questions on their own time will receive the CLE bundle at a reduced price. Learn more »

Women in the Law: Bringing Holiday Cheer

Since 2014, the Women in the Law Committee has been donating Christmas gifts or other requested needs to the St. Mary’s Early Childhood Center Christmas Program. The program sponsors approximately 350 at-need children each year. This year, the committee will be buying and sending games to be added to each child’s gift.

Young Lawyers Section: Connecting Generations

The Young Lawyers Section hosted the 2023 Dinner with the Judiciary in early November. The event brought together 18 judges and justices with young lawyers for an intimate dinner and networking experience.

Other Connection Activities

We’ve loved seeing members at these learning and networking events!

• The Affiliate Membership Committee brought together paralegals for a Wine & Canvas event.
• Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights discussed recent updates in bankruptcy law and held a roundtable discussion with practice tips and pointers from federal bankruptcy judges.
• The Construction & Surety Law Section hosted their holiday party at Westfork Whiskey—reviewing the latest updates in case law while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the distillery.
• Environmental Law celebrated Hon. Mary Davidsen and rang in the holiday season with their CLE and Holiday Party.
• Intellectual Property covered emerging issues in patent practice with a Germen patent attorney.
• The Tax Section brought together attorneys from private practice and government agencies for their annual State Tax Reception and CLE.

Let Me Pick Your Brain: End-of-Term Messages

As the end of the year approaches and groups transition leadership roles, pause to reflect on the year, share success stories and future visions, and introduce your group’s new leaders. Take Probate Chair Eric Slotegraaf’s note to section members as an example:

It has been my honor and privilege to have served as your PTRP chair for 2023. 

The success of our section is a group effort. There are many individuals who pitch in and make our section an amazing resource. However, I would also like to extend a special “thank you” to the upcoming officers and district representatives for agreeing to serve your section and for their assistance during the year. Your elected officers for next year include Elizabeth Wyson Berg as your Chair; Elizabeth Homes as your Chair Elect; Paige Freitag as Vice Chair; and Erin Bantz as your Secretary and Treasurer….

This year, our section was honored to sponsor law school etiquette dinners at the IU Maurer School of Law, IU McKinney School of Law, and the Notre Dame School of Law, as well as four scholarships for the 2023 Solo and Small Firm Conference. We were also pleased to sponsor We the People.

We presented Navigating the New Guardianship Code at the end of July. We have another CLE titled “Navigating the Future: A Festive Fusion of Law, Tech, and Ethics.” Immediately following the CLE, there will be some time to network and socialize with drinks and light appetizers. This even is planned for December 14 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Indiana Historical Society. I hope to see you there.

Our committees and newsletter leaders need your support to deliver valuable services. I urge you to volunteer for your section, as it is an excellent way to gain knowledge and build connections….

Section and Committee Leaders Discuss Leadership Funnels

Every quarter, your section and committee leaders meet to share ideas, problem-solve solutions to common challenges, and discuss best practices for providing member value. This July, leaders focused on the importance of filling their leadership funnel.

As ISBA Executive Director Joe Skeel shared, a strong leadership funnel is vital to maintaining momentum and creating lasting change. So it’s important to make it a priority, to be intentional, and to designate someone to find potential leaders and bring them into the fold. Leah Baker, section and committee manager, shared some other strategies and considerations chairs should keep in mind—from ensuring there’s diversity among the council (whether that be in gender, practice type, geographic area, or race) to how leaders can both build interest among their broader membership and identify potential emerging leaders. Andrea Townsend, former chair of the ISBA Litigation Section, reflected those strategies with stories from her own experience building the section’s leadership funnel.

Diversity Committee Writes Cover Story in July/August Res Gestae

In 2022, Representative Vanessa Summers introduced the CROWN Act (HB 1177) to the Indiana General Assembly in an attempt to eliminate discrimination “based on traits historically associated with race, such as hair texture and protective hairstyles.” Though the bill ultimately died in committee, it set a precedent for conversations at the state and national level on what it means to be a professional and exist in your full humanity. A question the Diversity Committee was set on answering.

Taylor Ray Cook, Raymond P. Dudlo, and Rhea Jones-Price (on behalf of the Diversity Committee) discuss the CROWN Act, why it’s necessary, and the importance of creating affirming spaces for Hoosiers to live and work in, in their Res Gestae article. “How did you fix your hair this morning?” they write. “Did you use a shampoo to increase your hair's volume? Maybe some gel or paste? Ponytail, swept to the side, or perhaps a straight part and a hopeful hiding of your cowlick...But have you ever found yourself getting ready in the morning and wondering if your hair—the hair you were born with—would get you fired or denied a job?” Read "Knots, Locs, and Law: A Legal and Social Perspective on the CROWN Act and the Right to Wear Natural Hair" »

Family Law Awards 2023 Nanette K. Raduenz Award

The Family & Juvenile Law Section awarded the 2023 Nanette K. Raduenz Award to Hon. Andrew R. Bloch, magistrate judge with the Hamilton Circuit and Superior Court.

The Nanette K. Raduenz Award is given every other year to a judicial officer who has gone above and beyond to improve the judiciary. Magistrate Bloch was recognized for his activity both in the ISBA Family Law Section and in other organizations across the family law field. He has served on several boards and committees, presented at numerous seminars, and helped revise family law guidelines. “He commands respect and decorum in his courtroom by example, not by words,” one of his nominators shared. “Magistrate Bloch continue[s] to show family law—and, more importantly, the children, parents, and spouses involved in family law cases—great respect.” Mag. Bloch will be presented the award at the Judicial Conference on September 14. 

Litigation Section Hosting 2023 Litigation Symposium

The Litigation Section opened registration for the 2023 Litigation Symposium. This year the symposium focuses on communication—in the courtroom, before the jury, and between colleagues. Three high-profile speakers will share their best practices for identifying and persuading audiences, mastering nonverbal communication, and using communication to build strong relationships with colleagues, clients, judges, opposing counsel, and jury members. Sessions will be offered both in-person and virtually. Speakers include Sam Ardery (an Indiana attorney with more than 30 years of experience in litigation and negotiation), Andrew Caple-Shaw (a licensed attorney and working actor who takes an acting-based approach to trial skills), and Paul Lisnek (a political analyst, trial consultant, and television anchor who knows all about maintaining composure under difficult circumstances).

Law Practice Management Committee Sunset, Launch of New LPM Online Community

In January 2023, the ISBA Board of Governors voted to sunset the Law Practice Management (LPM) Committee and give responsibility for curating and providing LPM resources to the General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Section. The section created an LPM subcommittee in May with the goal to, through education, downloadable resources, an online community, and connection opportunities, provide ISBA members the tools they need to keep their practices thriving.

As the first stage of their work, the subcommittee launched the Law Practice Management Online Community—an email distribution list similar to your sections’ listservs designed for members to discuss law practice management and the business of running a practice. Conversations on everything from human resources and staff retention to accounting and billing to the life cycle of a law practice will be covered. Any ISBA member is invited to join, ask questions, and add to the conversation. Learn more and join the online community »

Membership Committee Updates Paralegal Requirements

The ISBA Board of Governors approved a recommendation from the Membership Committee to amend its current policy regarding paralegal membership. Previously, Indiana paralegals who wanted to be members of the ISBA had to be employed as a paralegal, have a certification or education in paralegal studies, be sponsored by an attorney, and attend 18 hours of CLE every three years. With the rise in paralegals across Indiana and a desire to further distinguish the Indiana Registered Paralegal program, however, the committee voted to soften those requirements to allow more paralegals to join the ISBA.

The new requirements remove the need for education or certification credentials and change CLE requirements for existing members. Five years of work experience will now qualify individuals for paralegal membership (as long as they are still sponsored by an attorney and meet the definition of a paralegal). And instead of attending 18 hours CLE every three years, paralegal members need only three hours (including one hour of Ethics) per year.

More information on how to apply for paralegal membership under the new requirements will be coming soon.

Probate, Trust & Real Property Section Sponsors Etiquette Dinners

The Probate Section voted to donate $1,470 to sponsor the 2024 series of etiquette dinners. ISBA has partnered with all three Indiana law schools to offer programs that guide students in professional networking. The programs begin with a cocktail hour, followed by a business dinner. Students are led through each scenario by an etiquette instructor and learn everything from how to initiate conversations to more etiquette-specific tasks like which fork to use. But the real power in these programs comes from the ISBA volunteers who join in on the etiquette training and who give law students a chance to connect with practicing attorneys, learn more about the profession, and potentially gain job or internship opportunities down the road.

Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Committee Sponsors Indiana Benefit

The SOGI Committee is a Liberty Circle Sponsor for Lambda Legal’s annual Indiana Benefit. The Indiana Benefit has been raising funds to support Lambda Legal’s civil rights work since 1999, and it is one of the largest LGBTQ events in the state, bringing together more than 300 advocates and allies. This year, the benefit will be held on September 8 at the Indiana State Museum.

Utility Law Section Hosting Fall Seminar

Each year, the Utility Law Section hosts two seminars designed to (1) bring together regulatory law practitioners across multiple industries, and (2) provide relevant updates that double as all the CLE requirements members need for their yearly cycle. The 2023 Fall Seminar will look at a variety of topics, including civility, photovoltaics, cryptocurrency, cybersecurity and physical security, and more. Learn more and register »

Let Me Pick Your Brain: A Low-Down on High-Quality Events

Planning a high-quality CLE that brings value to section or committee members can be difficult. But keep these tips from recent events in mind:

1. Don’t be afraid to dive into the nitty-gritty. Knowing what topic to address is the first hurdle in any CLE planning. While it can be tempting to do a basic or introductory level CLE, to catch the largest audience, focusing exactly on what your audience needs to know at the level they need to know it in can create better-performing CLE. The Probate, Trust & Real Property and Elder Law Sections recently took this approach with a CLE on P.L. 38-2023, regarding new statutory forms and procedures for guardianships. A narrow focus, with detailed takeaways and discussion topics, led to over 230 registrations.
2. If you don’t know, ask. If you want to plan out a relevant CLE but don’t know what topics are top of mind, just ask your members. The Senior Lawyers Section tried this with their Preparing for Retirement CLE. Before identifying speakers and topics, the council invited members to jump on a Zoom meeting and tell the council directly what challenges they faced, what questions they had, and what concerns kept them up at night. The council then took this conversation and planned their program entirely around those concerns.
3. Think outside of the box. Sometimes the typical CLE structure—with a single speaker or a panel presenting in front of an audience—isn’t the best option. Perhaps an article on the topic makes more sense, like the Diversity Committee did with the CROWN Act. The Family & Juvenile Law Section is hosting a town hall, where members are invited to join a speaker in conversation, sharing ideas, asking questions, and together forming opinions on recently proposed guidelines. Or consider hybrid approaches that combine traditional learning with workshops, like the Appellate Section is doing for their writing skills seminar (where designated speakers will teach skills in plenary sessions, then supervise attendees as they put those skills into practice).

Who Knew Olives Were So Complex? Sections Sponsor Etiquette Dinner for 50 Maurer Students

Fifty law students, joined by nineteen ISBA members, picked up some new etiquette tips, put their networking skills into practice, and learned more about Indiana’s legal community. The students were led through a cocktail reception and dinner, learning how to juggle a plate and drink, which way to pass a bread basket, how to properly eat soup, and more. Throughout the evening, they also have the opportunity to chat with practicing attorneys at their table and around the room to learn more about the practice, gain advice on law school, and really see what it means to be a lawyer. Afterwards, the students were invited to join the Young Lawyers Section for an informal social, where they could continue their conversations…without the stress of trying to eat a pitted olive properly.

“I enjoyed talking to attorneys in a more natural setting,” one of the students shared. “They really helped me with what to expect for the rest of law school and my career.”

“The bar group here is incredibly warm and rooting for us.”

This event consistently creates value for both the law students and the volunteers who attend the etiquette dinner with them. So a huge shoutout to the sections who help make it possible:

• Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights
  
• Elder Law
• Employment, Labor & Benefits Law
• Environmental Law
• Family & Juvenile Law
• General Practice, Solo & Small Firm
• Health Law
• Litigation
• Probate, Trust & Real Property
• Taxation
• Utility Law
• Young Lawyers

Let Me Pick Your Brain: New Approaches and Ideas from Other Sections and Committees

Our groups are constantly finding ways to bring value to their members and better represent them. Here are some approaches that sections used in the past couple of months.

Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights: ISBA’s Bankruptcy Section, like many groups, represents members on both sides of the practice—debtors, creditors, attorneys who represent individuals, and attorneys who represent institutions—which can be challenging to manage when it comes time to preparing legislative position statements for the section as a whole. To facilitate that process, the section drafted a legislative policy that includes a step-by-step procedure for how to create a position statement that best represents all categories of their membership. You can view their full legislative policy here »

Litigation: To provide further value to their members, the Litigation Section bought 20 tickets to the 2023 ISBA Judicial Reception. The council offered the tickets complimentary to the first 20 section members who were interested in attending, giving them the opportunity to meet with judges and justices and further interact with Litigation Section members.

Agricultural Law: A few members of the Agricultural Law Section went back to the basics in terms of identifying what opportunities and benefits members wanted from their section. To help reinvigorate the group, they started holding low obligation virtual brainstorming sessions, where any section member could join and share their thoughts on topics like virtual vs. in-person learning and connections opportunities. (If you’re a section member and interested in joining future sessions, email Leah Baker at lbaker@inbar.org.)

Affiliate Membership Offers Third Annual Paralegal Symposium

The Affiliate Membership Committee is putting on their third annual Paralegal Symposium, a six-hour seminar developed exclusively for paralegals by paralegals. The symposium is designed to help paralegals thrive in their careers and provide training on essential skills in one spot. This year, topics covered will include ethics issues for paralegals in particular, technology tips and tricks (including Microsoft and other office technology), social media eDiscovery, and how to create an authentic personal brand. Sessions will be held virtually on May 11 and 12, 2023. Learn more here »

Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights Provide Extern Stipend

We all remember the challenge of balancing a law school tuition and other living expenses with a student budget, extracurricular activities, professional responsibilities, and your own peace of mind. To help make that balance a little easier for law students, the Bankruptcy Section offers a stipend to students externing at a U.S. bankruptcy court. Students interested in practicing bankruptcy or creditors’ rights law after graduation can apply for up to $1,000 to offset the cost of their judicial externship. This gives them more flexibility in exploring their professional interests and expanding their networks, without stressing about the financial drain in taking the externship in the first place. View the application form here »

Diversity Committee Sponsors 10th Annual Diversity Dinner

IU McKinney’s annual Diversity Dinner & Reception strives to bring together law students, attorneys, and other members of the Indianapolis community to connect and build relationships with individuals and organizations that promote and embrace diversity. The event, hosted by the IU McKinney Black Law Students Association, the Hispanic Law Society, the Asian Law Students Association, and the Lambda Law Society, also serves as a forum to discuss and reflect on current advocacy work in the community. ISBA’s Diversity Committee is a proud sponsor for the 10th annual dinner. This year’s theme is Advocacy in Action, with keynote speaker Rupal Thanawala, recipient of the Jefferson Award for Multiplying Good in 2022 for her work in central Indiana. Learn more »

General Practice, Solo and Small Firm Opens Registration for the 2023 Solo & Small Firm Conference

Registration for the 2023 SSFC is now open!

Tax Section Names Scholarship After Judge Wentworth

In honor of Indiana Tax Court Judge Martha Wentworth, and to encourage law students to enter the practice of tax law, the Tax Section has introduced the Judge Martha Blood Wentworth Excellence in Tax Scholarship. The award is an annual nonrenewable scholarship, worth a minimum of $1,000, granted to a student enrolled in an Indiana ABA accredited law school to help with their financial needs. Winners will be selected based on their merit, scholarship performance, demonstrated experience, and interest in the field of tax law. The scholarship application is currently open until May 1. View application »

Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee Provided Comments on Self-Help Legal Guide

Last year, at the request of the Coalition for Court Access, the UPL Committee reviewed and provided comments on a legal information guide. The guide seeks to better clarify what counts as legal information and legal advice, to assist nonlawyer intermediaries (including librarians, social workers, case managers, etc.) in answering questions posed by a member of the public about the operation of the judicial process. It was created after the court’s Family Law Task Force recommended a legal information guide to help assist court personnel in responding to the increase of self-represented litigants in courts across the state. The Coalition for Court Access sought comments on the guide from the UPL Committee and other groups last year and has voted to approve the guide, which will be shared with legal navigators soon.

Utility Law Section Hosts Spring Seminar

Each year, the Utility Law Section hosts two seminars designed to (1) bring together regulatory law practitioners across multiple industries, and (2) provide relevant updates that double as all the CLE requirements members need for their yearly cycle. The 2023 Spring Seminar will be held at the NCAA Hall of Champions and will feature updates from Indiana commissions and this year’s legislative session, practice tips, and information on recent industry innovations (including nuclear energy).
