2012 BENCH BAR

CONFERENCE

French Lick Springs Resort and Casino
French Lick, IN

June 14 - June 16, 2012

Featuring Thursday or Friday Arrival Options

It's not often lawyers and judges mix work and a good time, but over the past nineteen years the Indianapolis Bar Association's Bench Bar Conference has become known as the premier event to do just that.

Attracting over 300 attorneys, judicial officers and guests, the Bench Bar Conference has a loyal following and a great reputation as one of the most valuable CLE events offered in the region. Last year more than 50 first timers attended proving that more lawyers are discovering the benefit of the conference each year.
