Bays Family Law Attorneys Join SCOTUS Bar

December 4, 2018 by Bays Family Law

Jennifer Bays Beinart and Donna J. Bays at US Supreme CourtBFL Attorneys’ Donna J. Bays and Jennifer Bays Beinart recently traveled to Washington, DC for the exciting honor of being admitted to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court.

During the morning session on November 28, 2018, George T. Patton, Jr.,  asked the U.S. Supreme Court to admit three attorneys:  Donna J. Bays, Jennifer Bays Beinart, and the Hon. Paul D. Mathias.  All three were sponsored by the Indiana State Bar Association.  Judge Mathias sits on the Indiana Court of Appeals.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. immediately granted the motion.  Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill was also admitted that morning by separate motion.  Also present for the admission that morning were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Stephen G. Breyer, Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr.,  Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.George Patton, Donna J. Bays, Hon. Paul Mathais, Jennifer Bays Beinart

After the admission motion was granted, the newly-admitted attorneys observed oral argument in Timbs. v. State.  In that case, Tyler Timbs asked the Court to find that the 8th Amendment prohibition against excessive fines applies to the state of Indiana, not just the federal government.  At Indiana’s Court of Appeals, Judge Mathias had ruled that it did.  However, Indiana’s Supreme Court reversed that ruling, paving the way for a final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Bays Family Law is extremely proud to have our attorneys join the ranks of the small percentage of lawyers in America who have been admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

On June 1, 2018, Bays Family Law founder, Donna J. Bays, was admitted to the Indiana State Bar Association GP Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame honors general practice, solo, or small firm attorneys who have made outstanding contributions to clients, the legal profession, and the community.  Fellow small firm attorney, Jeffery Lind of Terre Haute was also admitted in 2018 .

Donna’s honor was based on a legal career that exemplified the best of the legal profession.  Donna is known for working tirelessly for her clients and to improve the legal profession.  She goes above and beyond to help others.  Donna’s nomination was supported by a number of attorneys who have served as opposing counsel.  The nomination praised Donna’s fairness and legal knowledge.  One opposing counsel explained:

Not adverse to settlement, Donna will make sure that her clients get the best possible result, and is also aware that litigating a matter to conclusion may not be in the best interests of her client. Donna is a worthy adversary.”

Donna’s service to the State Bar Association’s Solo & Small Firm Conference was also recognized. She served as Conference Chair in 2011 and 2012. During her tenure as Chair, Donna focused on long-term development and created a Law Student Program.  Since Donna’s establishment of that program, more than 200 law students have participated in the Solo & Small Firm Conference with the help and support of their law schools. Donna was also recognized for her outstanding leadership and attention to details that make the conference such a success.
