About Rex
Rex Baker earned his Juris Doctor from Western State College of Law at Argosy University. His legal education provided a foundation in courtroom practice and procedure. He entered the profession prepared to work on behalf of clients in Indiana and quickly became involved in the state’s litigation community.
After law school he built a career that blends practice, teaching and dispute resolution. He is a lawyer at Baker & Gilchrist, where he has spent years handling matters that arise in state forums. His colleagues describe him as someone who values clear preparation and careful advocacy. He favors direct exchanges in the courtroom and in settlement discussions, and he brings an orderly approach to complex files.
Baker is active in local and statewide bar circles. He serves on the litigation executive committee of the Indianapolis Bar Association and holds a seat on the board of directors for the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association. He is also a charter member of the local chapter of the American Inns of Court. Those roles place him in regular contact with other trial lawyers, judges and younger attorneys working to refine trial skills and courtroom ethics.
He maintains roles outside private practice as well. Baker is an adjunct associate professor at Indiana University–Purdue University, where he teaches courses that give students practical perspectives on litigation. He also serves as an arbitrator for the Better Business Bureau, resolving consumer-business disputes through a structured, non-judicial process. In his civic work he leads a local chapter of the Christian Legal Society as its president, a post that involves coordinating pro bono efforts and educational programs.
Peers note Baker’s consistent presence in the courtroom and in continuing legal education programs. He has spoken at seminars and participated in panels aimed at improving trial technique and case management. His practice reflects those priorities: careful preparation, attention to procedural detail and an emphasis on presenting cases clearly to judges and juries.
He currently practices law at Baker & Gilchrist in Indiana, where his work centers on civil litigation in state courts.
