Author Talk with James Voyles, Jr.

ALL RISE: My Life and Trials with the Famous, the Infamous, and the Misunderstood

Whether you are a true crime enthusiast, a legal professional, or a lover of Indiana history, this is an opportunity to hear the stories behind the verdicts directly from the man who lived them.

Join us as we welcome one of the nation’s most prominent criminal defense attorneys, James H. Voyles, Jr., in conversation with attorney James Bell and co-author Mark Bourcier.

In his new book, ALL RISE: My Life and Trials with the Famous, the Infamous, and the Misunderstood, Voyles pulls back the curtain on a storied career that has dominated headlines for decades. From high-profile celebrity defenses to the quiet battles for the citizen accused, Voyles offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the justice system through the eyes of a master litigator. 

Whether you are a true crime enthusiast, a legal professional, or a lover of Indiana history, this is an opportunity to hear the stories behind the verdicts directly from the man who lived them.

A book signing will immediately follow the discussion. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Event will take place in the Central Library Clowes Auditorium.

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
