Indianapolis Chapter: Seventh Circuit Rising Professionals Symposium

The Rising Professionals Symposium was designed primarily for law students and younger lawyers (under 40 or with less than 10 years of experience) to elevate their careers and expand their networks across the Seventh Circuit. However, all attorneys are welcome. The program will be a professional development and networking opportunity for younger federal practitioners in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Attendees will attend in-person presentations regarding artificial intelligence, legal writing, trial practice, and judicial insights. The keynote address will be delivered by a federal judge. The Symposium will conclude with a networking reception that will begin around 5:00 pm EST, following a Keynote Address. All members of the Federal Bar Association within the Seventh Circuit are encouraged to join the rising professionals at the symposium and networking reception.

Event registration will be complimentary for current law students who are members of the FBA.
