JAN. 3-16, 2024
Happy 2024, Indiana Lawyer readers! We're ringing in the new year with a look at state and national efforts to give me leeway to graduates of non-ABA-accredited law schools, and to those schools, themselves; IL reporter Alexa Shrake has the details. Also from Alexa: New data show that some women in general counsel roles are making more than their male counterparts. (You may have seen this story in our 2024 Corporate Counsel Guide, but we decided it was important enough to put in the paper, too). And in the Family Law Focus, IL managing editor Daniel Carson examines the rising popularity of prenuptial agreements. Read those stories and more in the Jan. 3-16, 2024, issue of Indiana Lawyer.
