Thanks in large part to Jeffrey Knight’s expertise, integrity and passion for the law, Old National Bancorp is a recognized
leader in the corporate governance arena. His extensive knowledge of the law and unerring instincts have been essential to
the company’s success. Jeff has a tireless commitment to the legal community – brought to life through his passion
for mentoring – and to the community at large.
The best advice I ever received
from a business standpoint was the advice to accept the position of general counsel at Old National Bank after having
spent three years outside of the practice of law leading a small manufacturing company.
I wish I had known when I graduated law school that
even though law school was the hardest thing I would ever accomplish from an academic standpoint, the law degree would
open up before me opportunities that I could not even imagine at the time. I tell law students today that law school
was the hardest and best thing I ever accomplished in life.
My best stress reliever is
exercise.
If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be
well, I actually can’t imagine not being a lawyer, but since I loved the time I spent leading a small manufacturing
company, I suppose I would be active in the business world if I weren’t a lawyer.
In 2012, I’d like to
spend more time with my wife, family and friends.
The three words that best describe me are
conscientious, persistent and unaffected.
In the movie about my life,
Harrison Ford would play me.
In my community, I’m passionate about
serving as an Elder in my Church, teaching the Word of God, and mentoring college-aged students.

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.
