Throughout his career, James Dimos has displayed a genuine dedication to the legal and civic community, devoting his time
to the development of the legal profession and the city of Indianapolis. He is currently one of 38 elected attorneys serving
as a member of the American Bar Association’s board of governors and has been on the ABA House of Delegates since 1994.
Jim also is currently vice president of the Indiana State Bar Association. While some people look at involvement in their
communities legal and civic as opportunities for résumé buildering and business development, Jim sees them as
a necessity.
The best advice I ever received was
life is a marathon, not a sprint.
I wish I had known when I graduated law school that
learning the law was only part of what it takes to be a good lawyer.
My best stress reliever is
a book and a beach.
If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be
a sports broadcaster.
In 2012, I’d like to
visit Ellis Island on the 100th anniversary of my great-grandfather’s arrival there from Greece.
The three words that best describe me are
passionate, patient and fair.
In my community, I’m passionate about
many things. Right now, my attention is on issues relating to access to justice and community youth sports.
In the movie about my life,
Anthony Edwards would play me.

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.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
