Leadership in Law

On May 30, The Indiana Lawyer will honor members of the legal profession who show a commitment to their field and the clients and communities they serve. Awards are presented in three categories: Distinguished Barristers, Up & Coming Lawyers, and Legal Support Stars.

We will also recognize one individual with Indiana Lawyer's most prestigious award: The Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes a lawyer who has at least 25 years of experience in the legal profession and who has made contributions beyond the practice of law.
