About William R. Scherer
William R. Scherer Jr. has spent a long career in the law that began with a degree in the early 1970s. He earned his J.D. from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1973. That academic milestone set the stage for decades of practice.
After law school, Scherer built a practice around day-to-day client work and firm-based litigation. He has spent much of his career at Conrad & Scherer, LLP. Over the years he has worked out of multiple offices for the firm and remained a steady presence there.
His professional life is marked by continuity. He has kept current memberships in professional associations and stayed active in the legal community as his practice evolved. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in the courtroom and methodical in preparing cases. He balances courtroom work with client counseling and the procedural demands of litigation.
Scherer’s approach reflects years spent handling routine and complex matters. He is comfortable managing cases from initial intake through resolution. That includes client interviews, discovery, motion practice and trial preparation. He mixes straightforward legal analysis with practical planning. The result is work that aims to be efficient and clear.
He has also been part of a small firm environment for most of his career. Working at Conrad & Scherer, LLP, he has collaborated on cases with other attorneys and shared firm responsibilities. That setting has shaped the way he allocates time between clients and casework. It has also meant adapting to changes in practice over decades, from shifts in procedure to changes in how clients expect to interact with their lawyers.
Outside of direct casework, Scherer has remained engaged in the profession through membership in legal organizations. He has relied on those connections for professional development and for keeping current on legal trends. His long tenure gives him a perspective on how the practice has changed since the 1970s.
Today William R. Scherer Jr. continues to practice law at Conrad & Scherer, LLP, handling client matters through the firm.
