Lawyers tee off for annual event

Bar Crawl is Indiana Lawyer’s new section that will highlight bar association news around the state. We try to include bar association news and trends in our regular stories, but we want to include more news from specialty and county bars. If you’d like to submit an update about your bar association or a photo from an event your bar association has hosted to Indiana Lawyer, or if you have questions about having your bar association news included in the newspaper, please send it to Rebecca Berfanger, [email protected], along with contact information for any follow up questions at least two weeks in advance of the issue date.

The Hamilton County Bar Association hosted its annual Judges and Lawyers Golf Outing Aug. 25 at Fox Prairie Golf Course in Noblesville. Players of all skill levels participated in the 18-hole scramble-format tournament and enjoyed dinner, camaraderie, and prizes after golf.

The team of attorneys John Terry, Russ Cate, Ollie Schierholz, and Kevin Klausing won this year’s event. Noblesville City Court Judge Greg Caldwell, and attorneys Andy Barker, Jeff Meunier, Mark Hurt, and Harry Sauce finished second. Attorney Jim Crum won the closest to the pin contest.

“The event is open to any Indiana judge, lawyer, or law student so be on the lookout for next year’s event,” Klausing, an attorney at Campbell Kyle Proffitt in Carmel and an organizer of the event, said via e-mail. “We welcome participation from lawyers and judges throughout the state.”
