Maybe the fix is investing in Indiana’s education system so that more Indiana kids can get educated and attend Indiana colleges and maybe, just maybe, stay home.
Or make home a place they want to stay, not a place they want to flee.
One reason lawyers do not flock to rural counties to practice is that there is not enough business there. I once spoke to a judge in one of the rural counties at a bar function. I was surprised at how light her docket was. If there is enough business in a rural county to justify the expense, lawyers in neighboring counties would have opened satellite offices. But the main reason Indiana has so many so-called “legal deserts” is that Indiana has more counties per square mile than any other state in the U.S. If most of these “rural counties” were part of a larger neighboring county, there would be no legal desert in the combined county. If you really want to see a rural county, go out to a large Western state, where some people might have to drive an hour or more to get to a lawyer, doctor, or even a supermarket. I would suspect that there is no one in an Indiana “rural county” who is less than a 30 minute drive to a lawyer, albeit in a neighboring county. I live in Hamilton County, but if I want to see a lawyer in downtown Indy, I will have to drive 45 minutes to see the lawyer.
I’m reminded of the old saw: “One lawyer in a small town starves. Two lawyers in a small town make a fortune.”
