The number of lawyers in the United States who report having some form of a disability is minuscule. But as small as the figures may be, a shift is taking place in the legal industry that has caused the numbers to double in the past decade.
Data has transformed how every industry does business, including utilities. The term “digital water” is a hot topic right now as more water and wastewater utilities look to improve operations and communications with customers. While it can be challenging for utilities to take steps toward implementing digital water technologies, those that do could see significant benefits across multiple departments.

Most pharmacies’ legal and financial exposure is not with the diversion of controlled substances (e.g., stealing, selling or dispensing drugs without a legitimate medical purpose); it is instead with the tedious, prosaic record-keeping requirements that often go neglected.
Hoosier lawmakers, utilities and water policy lawyers in recent years have begun to look more closely at supply and demand. Legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2019, for example, ties certain funding sources to evidence of effective water study and communication.

From divorce, custody, parenting time and guardianships to grandparent rights, family law can be very messy and emotionally draining. When I tell people what I do for a living, the most frequent responses are something along the lines of, “oh, I don’t think I could do that,” or “that must be very difficult.” Typically, however, my opposing counsel is not difficult, exhausting, or otherwise adding fuel to the fire.
Indiana Court of Appeals
Cheryl Barron Doll v. Steven E Post, et al.
19A-TR-715
Trust. Reverses the DeKalb Superior Court’s judgment denying Cheryl Doll’s motion to intervene based on the trial court’s interpretation of the residuary clause of Ollie Waid Jr.’s revocable living trust. Finds the language of the residuary clause does not identify a beneficiary with reasonable certainty. Remands and instructs the trial court to grant Doll’s motion to intervene and to direct trustee Steven Post to hold the reside of the trust for Waid’s estate, and instructs the court to direct Post to distribute the residue to Waid’s heirs at law pursuant to the appellate court’s intestate succession statutes.
