2013 IndyBar Diversity Job Fair

Mark Your Calendars Now! 

The Indianapolis Bar Association is thrilled to announce our 6th annual Diversity Job Fair offering great employment potential. What sets us apart: THE RESULTS! 

In 2012:

• 20% of interviewing students received and accepted job offers.
• 27 firm, government, court and corporate legal employers interviewed students from law schools around the country.
• Barnes & Thornburg presented a $2500 scholarship to an interviewing student during the keynote luncheon.

The Indianapolis Bar Association (IndyBar) seeks candidates who represent all aspects of diversity, who are looking for a one-of-a-kind legal community in a Midwestern city that has both cosmopolitan style and small-town charm. We cordially invite students who will be, in Fall 2013, full-time 2L law students (graduating May 2015) or part-time 2L and 3L law students (graduating 2015/2016) to participate in the IndyBar Diversity Job Fair.
