Resources for New Lawyers

Making the leap from law school to full-fledged lawyer can be both exciting and overwhelming. Putting theory into practice, navigating a new profession, and understanding its unwritten rules are all difficult to manage on your own.

ISBA compiled the following CLE, articles, podcasts, and other resources to fill the gaps. Topics are based on common questions from new lawyers, things your colleagues wished they knew in their first years of practice, and comments from managing partners in Indiana.

ISBA staff will routinely update this page with new resources, so be sure to check back. If you have a specific topic you’d like to see covered, let us know »
