Indianapolis offers a lot to do and see from amazing restaurants and fun hang-outs to exciting events. Experience them all by joining the Young Lawyers Division on June 6th from 12-3:30 p.m. for our annual scavenger hunt before drinks for the last hour at Kilroy's downtown. This event is great for young lawyers, summer associates, law students, and interns. Come explore the Circle City with a little friendly competition! The hunt will start at IndyBarHQ, where participants will be organized into teams before heading off in search of the city’s landmarks and destinations. Teams will be scored based on the number of places they check off their sheets, and while only one winner is named, everyone comes out on top when we gather for food and drinks at Kilroy’s downtown after the hunt. See you there!
