Chinn: 3 Ways to Help at the End of 2012
December 19, 2012
At bottom, the IndyBar is a member service organization. The IndyBar Board of Directors and staff spend considerable time
trying to find ways to serve the membership, including by soliciting feedback. That is mission critical – and it should
never change.
MoreChinn: What I'm Thankful For
December 5, 2012
With Thanksgiving meals, family gatherings and football games barely visible in the rear view mirror, I want to get my thoughts
of holiday thankfulness in just under the wire. In full disclosure, I’m focused here on three things about which I am
most thankful for the Indianapolis Bar Association.

MoreChinn: The Future of the Profession, Part 1
October 24, 2012
October 15, 2012 was a day 423 lawyers will remember for the rest of their lives. That’s because it was the day they
were sworn into the Indiana bar. I was pleased to be there too on behalf of the Indianapolis Bar Association.
MoreChinn: Special Relationships
October 10, 2012
A special relationship exists between the Indianapolis Bar Foundation and the Indianapolis Bar Association. It is easy to
think of the IBF as the “fund raising arm” of the IndyBar. And that isn’t wrong.
MoreChinn: A New Section, If You Can Keep It
September 26, 2012
It falls upon me to make the happy announcement that the Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Bar Association has approved
the creation of a new section of the bar — the Indy Attorneys Network.
MoreChinn: Checking Our Institutions
September 12, 2012
Every time I travel alone, say for an out-of-town deposition, I am conscious of those blocks of time in which you get to be
alone in your thoughts. As much as the travel itself is rarely fun, I almost always find great value in those periods of “travel
reflection,” especially when things prior to leaving home have been so busy.
MoreChinn: Back to School
August 29, 2012
At the law school level, I have already taken part in back-to-school activities. I met some 2L students at a reception at
the Maurer School the other evening hosted by my law firm. And on behalf of the IndyBar, I spoke briefly to the incoming 1L
class at the McKinney School at orientation weekend.
MoreChinn: Diversity Efforts Can't End with Successful Job Fair
August 15, 2012
The IndyBar Diversity Job Fair won’t by itself create the kind of diverse and inclusive environment that so many of
us want to see promoted in our legal community. But being part of it this year put me in mind of what we would lose without
it.
MoreChinn: Why I Want to Be Like Judge Darden When I Grow Up (and You Should Too) or … Why Julie Armstrong Loves Carr Darden
August 1, 2012
I was pleased to have been invited on July 25 to provide a few remarks on behalf of the Indianapolis Bar Association on the
occasion of the retirement of Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Carr L. Darden at a ceremony held in the Indiana Supreme Court.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
