Amicus Curiae
Amicus Committee is a long-standing, well-respected arm of the Association. The Committee is a wholly voluntary group of ITLA members who are committed to legal scholarship and broad issues of concern that impact upon the rights of the citizens of our State. A significant challenge to the Committee is reviewing the numerous meritorious requests for ITLA’s participation in the appellate process as a friend of the court. The Association’s goal is to select those cases that have the broadest impact upon the largest number of Hoosiers.
Current members of the ITLA Amicus Curiae Committee:
Tara Worthley, Chair
Nick Deets, Kate Franke, Jerry Garau, Bob Johnson, Tom Manges, Jon Noyes, Terri Todd

If you or someone you know needs amicus assistance, we request that you inform the amicus committee as early on in the appellate process as possible. We would prefer to be notified as soon as you are aware a Notice of Appeal is being filed. However, if it appears that after receiving an appellate opinion that rehearing is being sought or transfer may be sought, the amicus committee really needs to know asap (BEFORE transfer is sought). This is because ITLA’s amicus volunteers are full-time practicing attorneys and it is increasingly difficult to review requests, obtain counsel, become familiar with the issues and write an appellate brief when there is too quick of a turn-around time.

Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program
The practice of law is meaningful and rewarding, but at times it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Over the course of their careers, lawyers face challenges in their personal and professional lives that can impact their mental health and well-being. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program, JLAP, provides confidential, compassionate support to all judges, lawyers, and law students by promoting well-being, improving lives, fostering connection, and thereby elevating the competence of our profession.
Because of the sensitive nature of mental health and substance use issues, law students, attorneys, or judges who need help—or want to assist someone else who might need help—are often reluctant to seek assistance. Recognizing this concern, and in order to foster early and confidential contact, the Indiana Supreme Court authorized the creation of JLAP with the passage of Rule 31 of the Indiana Rules on Admission to the Bar and Discipline of Attorneys.
All contact with JLAP is confidential under Admission and Discipline Rule 31 §9 and Rules of Professional Conduct 8.3 (c).
