Patrick Shoulders is a prime example of what attorneys should do for the profession and their communities. Not only is he
a well-respected trial attorney, but he dedicates a great deal of his time toward volunteer activities and helping young attorneys
with an interest in litigation become better lawyers. Since 2002, he has co-chaired and served as a faculty member at the
Trial Advocacy Skills College Trial Camp, and he is an active member and volunteer for the Evansville and Indiana State bar
associations.
The best advice I ever received was
be yourself in the courtroom!
I wish I had known when I graduated law school that
nobody bats 1000 in this business.
My best stress reliever is
running.
If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be
a teacher.
In 2012, I’d like to
see my granddaughters more.
The three words that best describe me are
irreverent, impatient and inventive.
In my community, I’m passionate about
Indiana University, politics, public education, and all the arts.
In the movie about my life,
Hal Holbrook playing Mark Twain would play me.














Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.
Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
Wow, just wow.
Forcing a defendant to wear a stun belt, in court or otherwise, is a violation of american principles! It is also unconstitutional!
So, if I save $100.00 cash per week, from my $500.00 per week paycheck, for 50 years, at which time, I will have saved $260,000.00, the government can raid my home and take my money, just by saying it is drug money! Shouldn't the government, have some kind of evidence of drugs, rather, than just saying we are the government and we will take anything you own, anytime we choose? Tyranny is upon us! If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
