Welcome to the Indiana Law Update. We intend for this website to be a useful resource for lawyers who want to know the latest developments in Indiana law. Our goal is to provide Indiana lawyers with timely analysis of the latest opinions from Indiana’s state and federal courts that will be of general interest to Indiana lawyers in an easily digestible and usable format.

Indiana Law Update’s editor-in-chief is Ron Waicukauski. Ron is an experienced Indiana trial lawyer and former law professor and has since 2004, provided frequent updates on Indiana law at meetings of the Indianapolis Law Club. Podcasts of these presentations and the written handouts can be accessed through this blog.

Indiana Law Update’s other editor is Brad Catlin, an attorney with over ten years of experience in litigation and appellate practice. Brad is actively involved in complex civil litigation in a number of legal fields.

Other members of our firm will also contribute content to Indiana Law Update from time-to-time.

While there are many excellent legal blogs that can provide Indiana lawyers with information that can help them in their practice, none are designed to tell you both what has happened and why it matters. We will provide that information by both providing monthly overviews, access to Ron’s Indianapolis Law Club presentations, and regular, timely updates on recently issued opinions. Our posts will provide our analysis, will be searchable through the search bar to the right, and will be grouped under the relevant categories underneath our search bar.

We at Indiana Law Update hope that Indiana lawyers will find this website a useful resource and we urge you to check in regularly, so that you can be on the cutting edge of Indiana jurisprudence.
