Assistant City Attorney Elected President of State
Lawyer Association
Assistant City Attorney Ann-Carol Nash has been elected President of the Indiana Municipal
Lawyers Association (IMLA), an organization of local government attorneys within Indiana
IMLA attorneys conduct educational seminars and provide briefs to the Indiana Supreme Court in
cases involving local governments. It is affiliated with the Indiana Association of Cities and
Towns (IACT) and is a sponsor of the annual grade school "If I Were Mayor" essay contest.
"Ann-Carol's election as president of IMLA is a tremendous achievement for her and for South
Bend, said Mayor Luecke. "Her selection by the Association recognizes Ann-Carol's expertise
and her willingness to share her knowledge and experience with others. In addition, the City of
South Bend will also benefit from the knowledge that she will gain as she networks with other
legal professionals from around the state."
Ms. Nash graduated from Notre Dame Law School in 1987 and served as a judicial clerk for the
Hon. Michael E. Dodge in Cass County, Michigan, and the Hon Robert L. Miller, Jr. in the
United States District Court in South Bend. In 1995, she left private practice to become an
Assistant City Attorney for the City of South Bend. She concentrates on public safety litigation,
serves on Mayor Stephen Luecke's Neighborhood Task Force and coordinates the City's Local
Government Academy.
