OUR LAW SCHOOL IS A WONDERFUL AND EXCITING PLACE. The energy that pervades Inlow Hall every day is palpable and bears witness to the fact that this is one of the most dynamic and interesting places in the entire country to study and research how the law and our legal system shape, interact with, and impact our society.

One factor that makes this such a fabulous environment for legal education is the school’s location right downtown in one of the most vibrant cities in America. Being within easy walking distance from the state capitol building and all of the state agencies, the federal and state trial and appellate courts, and untold numbers of law firms, businesses, and cultural, educational, sports, and other non-profit organizations of every imaginable kind, provides a wealth of resources that enriches our school and our students’ opportunities immeasurably. Few law schools in America can provide so many resources and opportunities within a stone’s throw.

As a result, few law schools in America are as engaged as ours with their local communities. The benefits that our alumni, faculty, and students provide to the political, economic, and civic life of Central Indiana are immense. Not only do our alumni make up roughly half the lawyers and judges, but they comprise a large segment of the political and business leadership, including the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, several legislators, the CEOs and senior executives of many leading businesses, and innumerable leaders of our universities and civic organizations. To list all of these distinguished alumni individually would take many pages, but it would be a mighty impressive list indeed.

Furthermore, our students make a huge contribution to the quality of life in this community. More than 500 IU-Indy law students have provided 70,000 hours of pro bono service to 178 different non-profit agencies that serve the community. Every year more than 150 IU-Indy law students serve for an entire semester as unpaid interns at dozens of government agencies, courts, and non-profit organizations in Central Indiana. Over the years, more than 1,500 live-client clinic students have represented more than 5,000 indigent clients in a wide variety of civil, criminal, disability, and immigration cases, and have had spectacular success in many, establishing precedents that have had a significant impact on the law.

The tremendous strength that being in downtown Indianapolis gives our school, and the great contribution our school makes to Central Indiana, are why we have dedicated this issue to the theme “Law and the City.” We want to highlight the great relationship and engagement between the City of Indianapolis and the IU School of Law – Indianapolis. We believe that when you read this issue you will come away extremely proud of your law school.

Incorporated into this issue of the magazine is our annual Dean’s Report. Within these pages we recognize those generous individuals who have contributed to the law school during the last fiscal year. We thank you for your support of the school and hope that you will continue to partner with us in the months and years ahead.

Very truly yours,

Gary R. RobertsDean and Gerald L. Bepko Professor of Law

Professor López Wins Diversity in Practice Award

PROFESSOR MARÍA PABÓN LÓPEZ was chosen as the recipient of the Indiana

Lawyer’s 2008 Diversity in Practice Award on October 24 at the Conrad in downtown Indianapolis. She is pictured above with Greg Morris, IBJ media vice president and Byron Myers, chief managing partner at Ice Miller.

Prior to joining the law school in 2002, Professor López worked as an assistant U.S. Attorney, Criminal Division, for the U.S. Department of Justice, District of Puerto Rico in San Juan and practiced law in San Juan and Philadelphia.

At IU she has implemented new courses about issues related to diversity and ensuring an environment of inclusion. Her course, Race and the Law was first offered in the Spring of 2008.

Since June of 2003, Professor López has been an appointed member of the Indiana Supreme Court’s Court Interpreter Certification Advisory Board, a project of the Race and Gender Fairness Commission. She is also a member of the Latino Affairs Committee of the Indiana State Bar. In December 2007, Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard named Professor López, the only academic, to the State Board of Law Examiners.

In addition, Professor López is currently working on a book about the education of immigrant children. She was presented with the 2007 Rabb Emison Award from the ISBA recognizing her commitment to promote diversity and equality in the legal profession and in the membership of the Indiana State Bar.

Law School Hosts Roundtable Discussion on the Economy

FORECLOSURES RISE. The stock market plummets. Credit markets freeze. Huge companies go bankrupt or are effectively nationalized. Former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan says we’re in a “once-in-a-century” financial crisis. Politicians and pundits predict a depression.

The current economic crisis set the stage for a Roundtable Discussion: The

Economic Crisis and The Emergency

Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, on Thursday, October 23 at the law school. Five members of the law school faculty discussed the issues that impact today’s economic woes, before a packed house of students, faculty and concerned members of the public.

The program was organized by Professor Max Huffman, who spoke on consumer credit ramifications. Other participants were Cynthia A. Baker, Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Director, Program on Law and State Government, who addressed the impact on state and local government finance; Antony Page, Associate Professor of Law and Dean’s Fellow, who spoke on “From Mortgage Crisis to Financial Meltdown;” Nicholas L. Georgakopoulos, Harold R. Woodard Professor of Law, who tackled the topic, “From Financial Crisis to ... (Great Depression?)” and Lloyd T. “Tom” Wilson, Jr., Professor of Law and Chair-Elect, AALS Section on Real Estate Transactions who provided comment on “Understanding the Mortgage Crisis.”

Elizabeth Monroe ’02, Receives Award for Scholarship on SCOTUS History

ELIZABETH BRAND MONROE, ‘02, Associate Professor of History at IUPUI, has been honored by the Journal of Supreme

Court History Board of Editors for her 2007 article “The Influence of the Dartmouth College Case on the American Law of Educational Charities.” It was chosen as the best article for the year and was published in the March issue of the journal.

Monroe’s article examines the 1819 Supreme Court case Dartmouth

College v. Woodward where the New Hampshire legislature attempted to revise the university’s charter to allow the reinstatement of the former Dartmouth president. The Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of Dartmouth College allowed the school to remain a private institution without state interference.

Monroe attended the Supreme Court Historical Society annual dinner in Washington, D.C. on June 2nd at the Supreme Court, where she was presented the Hughes-Gossett Award by Justice Anthony Kennedy (pictured above).


Debra McVicker Lynch Appointed U.S. Magistrate Judge

DEBRA McVICKER LYNCH, ’86, has been appointed to the position of United States Magistrate Judge. This position became available due to the elevation of William T. Lawrence, ‘73 to the position of federal district judge.

Prior to her appointment, Lynch was of counsel at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP (formerly Sommer Barnard) where she worked for more than 20 years. Her practice included litigation of contract disputes, business dissolutions, antitrust matters, securities fraud cases, professional malpractice actions, and non-competition and trade secret matters. Lynch served as a law clerk to the Hon. Sarah Evans Barker from 1986 - 1988.

Lynch is also an adjunct professor at the law school, teaching the Complex Litigation course. She served as Special Master for Judge Sarah Evans Barker in the Bridgestone/Firestone Tires Products Liability Multidistrict Litigation from 2000 to 2004.

Lynch is a summa cum laude graduate of the law school, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the Indiana Law Review.

United States Magistrate Judges are appointed by the Judges of the U.S. District Court for a term of eight years, and are eligible for reappointment to successive terms. A Magistrate Judge Merit Selection Committee chaired by retired Magistrate Judge V. Sue Shields reviewed more than 50 applications and recommended five candidates for the position. The district judges of the court then selected Ms. Lynch from among those five candidates.

Professor Edwards Receives Award for International Distinction

On August 1, 2008, Professor George E. Edwards was awarded the Ronald Harmon Brown Award of International Distinction from the National Bar Association (NBA). Professor Edwards was unable to attend the NBA dinner in Houston, Texas at which the award was presented because he was on his way from Laos to Thailand to make presentations on behalf of the law school’s Program in International Human Rights Law.

The following are excerpts from Prof. Edwards’ acceptance speech, delivered on his behalf:

“I am proud that the NBA has permitted me to be a part of its noble effor ts to promote and protect international human rights, not only in the United States, but around the world…. We have made great strides towards ensuring human rights and the rule of law. But, much more needs to be done.

Human rights protections begin with knowledge about what our rights are, who is responsible for ensuring our rights are not violated, what steps to take when our rights are violated, and how our human rights are to be enforced…. Knowledge is power. Power is meaningless, unless we take action.”

Alumni Organize Legal Aid Centre in Kenya

A TRAILBLAZING LEGAL AID ORGANIZATION has been established in Kenya thanks to the efforts of Judge Patricia Riley, ‘74, Indiana Court of Appeals, and Fran Quigley, ‘87, director of operations for the IU partnership between the Indiana University School of Medicine and Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. The Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE) officially started in September with a small staff and initial funding from the Reuben Family Foundation and the Indianapolis Rotary Club. LACE is currently located in the hospital where the Nobel Peace Prize-nominated AMPATH program has IU physicians and medical students helping Kenyans living with HIV/AIDS. Riley and Quigley started LACE because many of the medical patients are in need of legal as well as medical help, especially in the areas of land rights and family law.

The law school plans to collaborate with LACE by offering a Kenyan lawyer or lawyers a full scholarship to attend the LL.M. program in Indianapolis on condition that they agree to work at least two years as a staff attorney at LACE, as well as to coordinate legal work assistance for LACE from volunteer LL.M. graduates and students while enrolled as an LL.M. student.

The program is seeking other funding sources and hopes to expand its case load capacity. The organizers hope to arrange a trip for attorneys from Indiana to see the centre in action in the near future.

Celebrating Law School

Law andtheCity

On Thursday evening, October 16, the law school hosted a private reception to kick off the school’s Board of Visitors Summit. More than one hundred people joined in celebrating the school’s many partnerships with the State of Indiana and the City of Indianapolis. This is an important time in the history of the school, as we embark upon a bold new era of increased collaboration with our community stakeholders. In addition to our distinguished Board of Visitors and other university and community dignitaries, a special guest at the event was Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie. Following remarks from President McRobbie and Dean Gary R. Roberts, guests enjoyed music provided by students from IU’s Jacobs School of Music.

More than one hundred people celebrated in the law school’s Conour Atrium.

Professor John Krauss, ’76, Director of IU’s Public Policy Institute and the Center for Urban Policy and the Environment talks with Board of Visitors member Norman Gurwitz, ’72, Vice President and Corporate Counsel of Emmis Communications.


Achievements

Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie, IUPUI Chancellor Emeritus Gerald L. Bepko, Dean Gary R. Roberts, and IUPUI Chancellor Charles Bantz. Fun fact: Of the four distinguished individuals shown here, one is unique in that he has previously held the positions of the other three. Gerald L. Bepko served as dean of the law school (1981-1986), Chancellor of IUPUI (1986-2002) and Interim President of Indiana University (2003).

“Law school is a fantastic opportunity and it had a huge impact on my life. Sometimes, I think we may

take that opportunity for granted. We need to cherish the law school and the opportunities it has given us,

and we need to nourish the law school.”

— Lacy M. Johnson, ’81


By Alicia Dean Carlson

AND THAT’S THE CONDENSED LIST OF CIVIC WORK. “It’s my way of putting back some of what I’ve been given,” Johnson says. “I’m living the American dream.”

Johnson also is one of the law school’s Partners in Progress donors as a member of that campaign’s Landmark Society, for donors of $10,000 and above. He characterizes the gift as “modest,” considering what a law degree has given him.

“Law school is a fantastic opportunity and it had a huge impact on my life,” he says. “Sometimes, I think we may take that opportunity for granted. We need to cherish the law school and the opportunities it has given us, and we need to nourish the law school.” Touched by fantastic people

Johnson grew up in Indianapolis and was educated in the public schools—in 2007 he was inducted into the Indianapolis Public School Alumni Hall of Fame—and credits early influences including his parents, teachers, coaches and governmental officials for inspiring him to dream of law school. One teacher made him write the words “I can” 100 times on the chalkboard and the late

U.S. Representative Julia Carson reminded him that he was standing on a lot of shoulders of individuals who had preceded him.

At Purdue University, Johnson earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and industrial management. He joined the Indiana State Police and as a young man in his mid-20s, served as Governor Otis Bowen’s bodyguard. During his first year as a state trooper Johnson started law school, where Professors Bill Marsh and Gerald Bepko were important influences.

“The state police was a pretty conservative, law-and-order organization,” he says. “What I quickly learned in law school is that we are a nation of laws, and that the oath we take to uphold those laws protects us all.”

Johnson joined the U.S. Navy Reserves in 1981 and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1993. He worked in government relations for Sagamore-Bainbridge Inc., as a director of security for the Indiana State Lottery and as an Indiana State Police deputy superintendent before joining Ice Miller in 1993.

“I’ve been touched by some fantastic people,” Johnson says. “What you can do with that is pass it on.”

Life and Law School Shaped Lacy Johnson

As an attorney and partner in the Indianapolis firm Ice Miller, LLP, Lacy Johnson, ’81 has a busy law practice, but he’s at least as busy outside the office. A member of the law school’s board of visitors and the IU Foundation board of directors, Johnson also serves on the board for the Indianapolis Airport Authority, the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute, Indiana Black Expo, Conner Prairie, the IUPUI Advisory Board, Simon Youth Foundation, Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., the Oaks Academy, American Pianists Association and the Indiana Museum of African American History.

FRED GLASS, ’84, HAS SEVERAL GOALS for the Indiana University athletic department—and winning national championships isn’t the first.

Glass, who was named director of intercollegiate athletics by IU President Michael A. McRobbie on October 28, says his top two priorities are to ensure that IU complies with NCAA rules and regulations and that IU’s athletes achieve success academically.

“I want to be excellent on the field, the court, the pool. I want to win championships and have winning records,” Glass said. “But I think we have to do two things first. We’re going to be known as a university that follows the rules, and our athletes are going to excel academically.”

Using a sports metaphor, Glass said the job offer from IU “came out of left field,” and that he was happy practicing law as a partner at the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels.

But his secured transactions professor from law school—former IUPUI Chancellor Gerald Bepko—recommended Glass for the job.

“It’s a nice example of how those relationships you have in law school stay with you for a lifetime,” Glass said.

Glass recalled turning to Bepko for advice several times during his career, including once when he was preparing to graduate from law school and had two enviable positions on the horizon: an offer from a big Indianapolis law firm and a clerkship with U.S. Federal District Court Judge S. Hugh Dillin.

He chose the clerkship.“He [Bepko] advised me that when trying to make a decision,

choose the one that will give you the most opportunities for the future,” Glass said. “It’s advice I’ve followed throughout my career and I’ve been able to do a lot of different, interesting things.”

A native of Indianapolis, Glass also earned a bachelor’s degree from IU in 1981. He served as chief of staff to former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh from 1989 to 1993 and was transition team chief for former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson when he took office in 2000.

Peterson appointed Glass to the Capital Improvement Board, which owns and operates Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indiana

Convention Center, Conseco Fieldhouse and Victory Field. During his eight-year tenure as CIB president, Glass represented the mayor in successful negotiations to keep the Colts in Indianapolis and headed up the planning effort for construction of Lucas Oil Stadium and the expansion of the convention center.

Glass served on the organizing committees for the NCAA Final Four Tournament in 2000 and again in 2006, and negotiated a deal to make the city part of a permanent rotation to host

NCAA Final Fours. He also was on the executive committee of the 2002 World Basketball Championship and co-chaired the 2006 local organizing committee for the Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments.

Most recently, he was president of the City of Indianapolis’ 2011 Super Bowl Bid Committee, which although not successful for that year, laid the groundwork for a successful bid for 2012.

In making the announcement, McRobbie praised Glass’s leadership and understanding of the challenges—and importance— of IU athletics.

“He has a well-earned reputation as someone who can get the big things done. He is exactly the person we need to take on the challenges our Athletics Department will encounter in the next decade,” McRobbie said.

Law School Alumnus Fred Glass, ’84 Named IU Athletic Director


AT THE LEGAL WRITING INSTITUTE (LWI) conference held at the IU School of Law-Indianapolis in July, Clinical Associate Professor of Law Kenneth D. Chestek was chosen as President-Elect of the organization.

“ I a m h o n o r e d t o b e chosen as President-Elect of

LWI,” said Professor Chestek. “As the importance of skills education in American law schools grows, LWI will continue to be at the forefront of changes in the legal academy. During my term as President I hope to continue LWI’s growing outreach to the practicing bar nationwide, in order to help bridge the gap between law school and law practice.”

IU LAW-INDIANAPOLIS HOSTED the 13th national biennial conference of the Legal Writing Institute (LWI), July 14-17, bringing more than 600 legal writing faculty members from 13 countries to Inlow Hall. The program kicked off with a reception at the Artsgarden in downtown Indianapolis.

Conference sessions covered more than 100 different topics, among them, Using ‘Real World’ Documents to Teach Persuasive Writing; The Changing Nature of Legal Research and Legal Authority in the Electronic Age; Dealing with Race, Culture and Gender in the Classroom; and Communicating with Millennials: Teaching and Preparing the Next Generation of Lawyers.

The Site Chair for the national conference was Professor Deborah McGregor, Assistant Director of the Legal Analysis Research and Communication Program at the law school. All of the members of the school’s legal writing faculty were involved with the planning for the conference, including the director, Professor Joan Ruhtenberg, and Professors Cynthia Adams, Ken Chestek, Jim Dimitri, Allison Martin, and Joel Schumm.

The Legal Writing Institute (LWI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving legal writing by providing a forum for discussion and scholarship about legal writing, analysis and research. The LWI has more than 2,200 members and includes representatives from 38 countries.

Law School Hosts National Legal Writing Conference

Professor Ken Chestek Becomes President-Elect of LWIProfessor Chestek has been active in numerous

capacities with the LWI, an organization of more than 2,200 legal writing professionals from all over the country—and increasingly around the world. While primarily an organization of legal writing professors, LWI also includes a growing number of practicing lawyers and judges. The largest voluntary organization of law professors in the country, its mission is to provide law schools and law professors with resources, advice, scholarship and materials to improve the quality of legal writing teaching.

Previously, Professor Chestek served as a member of the board of directors and treasurer of LWI. From 2005-08 he co-chaired the ALWD/LWI. He has published and given lectures on a wide variety of subjects, including persuasion, teaching methods, tax exemption policy, hospitals and the uses of computers in law offices.

LWI conference participants attended sessions throughout Inlow Hall during the four-day event.


Over 600 legal writing faculty members from 13 countries attended the biennial LWI conference in Inlow Hall. Participants ate lunch in the Conour Atrium.

CLINICAL PROFESSORS OF LAW, CYNTHIA M. ADAMS AND DEBORAH B. MCGREGOR, co-authored a new resource for international lawyers preparing to practice in the United States or deal with U.S. companies.

ON DECEMBER 30, 2003, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, through the Secretary of Defense, invited Chief Justice Williams to be a member of the then-Military Commissions Review Panel for tribunals to be held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with the rank of Major General. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 created the Court of Military Commission Review on which Williams serves as a civilian appellate judge. On November 21, 2007, the Secretary of Defense appointed Chief Justice Williams Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Military Commission Review.

Justice Williams is a member of the U.S. Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and Chair of the Rhode Island Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. He is currently at work on an annotated bibliography of all books and pamphlets written about Abraham Lincoln, due to be published in time for the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth in 2009.

The Honorable Frank J. Williams, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, delivered the 12th annual Indiana Supreme Court Lecture at Inlow Hall on Tuesday evening, October 7.

Abraham Lincoln: Lawyer in the White House


ACROSS THE COUNTRY, STATES CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE with issues of education funding, high school graduation rates, the meaning and function of standardized test scores, matching educational requirements to changing work force needs, recidivism, and issues of adequacy with respect to public education’s role in a democracy. On October 3, the law school’s Program on Law and State Government (PLSG) examined these issues during its eighth annual fellowship symposium.

The first half of this year’s symposium focused on the effects of high-stakes testing on student success. Relationships between recidivism rates and educational opportunities for juvenile offenders highlighted the second half of this year’s event.

Student fellows for 2008 were Jonelle Redelman, who presented a paper on “Kids Who Fail: State Governments’ Response to Failure,” and Anderson Sanders, whose fellowship address focused on “Educating Incarcerated Kids: Lowering Double Digit Recidivism.” Speakers included Professor Michael Heise, Cornell Law School, whose topic was “Litigation Impacting States’ High-Stakes Testing Mandates,” Professor John Robert Warren, Professor of Sociology, University of

Law andtheCity

RECENTLY, VOYLES MADE A GENEROUS $50,000 PLEDGE to the IU School of Law-Indianapolis, earmarked for the law school’s clinics. The clinics have offered more than 1,500 law school students the opportunity to practice their skills and provide access to legal counsel to more than 5,000 clients since they were established over 25 years ago.

“It’s my way of giving back to the law school that gave me everything,” Voyles says.

Sense of humanityIn addition to representing famous clients—from boxer

Mike Tyson to players from the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers—and less famous clients in need of counsel, Voyles has been a leader in the profession and will be president of the Indianapolis Bar Association in 2009. He is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a member of the American Board of Criminal Lawyers, a board member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and a member of the Indiana Supreme Court Character and Fitness Committee.

What his clients—and adversaries—may not know about are the experiences outside of the courtroom that helped shape the kind of lawyer he is.

Voyles earned a bachelor’s degree from Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois, where he worked with students at the nearby Illinois School for the Visually Impaired. Later,

as a law student, he worked during the day with clients with disabilities at Easter Seals Crossroads, and as an adjudicator for the Social Security Administration while taking classes at night in the Maennerchor Building.

Those experiences helped Voyles understand that society needs lawyers who want to help people.

“A trial lawyer has to have a sense of humanity and like people—all kinds of people,” Voyles says. “I’ve represented people with disabilities and misfortunes, and I’ve represented people who seem to have everything.”

A clerk to John J. Dillon, ’52, Voyles graduated from law school and joined his uncle, George Ober, ’44, in a law practice that evolved into the present-day firm of Voyles, Zahn, Paul, Hogan & Merriman.

Voyles says he was fortunate to have professors like Larry Jegen, John Grimes, Ben Small, Bruce Townsend and Cleon Faust who were “good lawyers who loved the law,” and law partners who taught him—by example—the importance of integrity.

His gift to the law school, he hopes, will prepare the next generation of trial lawyers.

“I hope that young men and women in law school now have the passion for the law that I have had,” Voyles says. “The better prepared they are, the better our society will be.”

James H. Voyles, Jr., ’68, loves his job. “It’s intellectual combat. And it’s different, every day,” says Voyles, an Indianapolis attorney whose criminal defense practice has earned him a formidable reputation. The gleam in his eyes when he talks about his profession reflects passion for a career that’s still going strong after 40 years.

Fostering the Rule of Law in Iraq

Rebecca Staton, ’01 (left) is pictured with Hon. Sabah Saleh Ahmad, Investigative Judge, and U.S. Army Major Kristafer Ailslieger in Riyadh--Kirkuk Province Iraq

EVANSVILLE NATIVE REBECCA STATON, ’01, says while she was in law school she really did not know what she wanted to do following graduation. Through an On Campus Interview (OCI) organized by the Office of Professional Development (formerly Career Services), Staton landed a job with the Marion County Prosecutor’s office where she worked for 6 years. She eventually worked as the Chief Gang Prosecutor. In that role she quickly realized she needed to look for ways to reach out to the community and get people talking, hopefully to help improve and coordinate gang prevention efforts in Indianapolis. She says she always tries to remember advice from her former boss, Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman, who counseled her to maintain a “constant sense of outrage.” Staton says the prosecutor’s office was very willing to let her “do my own thing,” and let her craft programs. She says, “For the first time in my life I felt like I was doing something that really mattered. I liked feeling like I was part of something larger than myself.”

Then, in 2007, Staton received an e-mail from a colleague at the National District Attorney’s Association that gave details

about a job opportunity with the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development Assistance and Training (OPDAT) working on Rule of Law initiatives in Iraq. She applied and was accepted. Now she is approaching the end of her first year as a Resident Legal Advisor (RLA) in Iraq and is thrilled with the opportunity to put the skills she had honed in the prosecutor’s office to use in such an ambitious setting. She has spent most of her time in Kirkuk, an ethnically diverse, oil rich province in the northern part of the country, comprised of Kurdish, Turkman, and Arab populations.

In her job as a Resident Legal Advisor, she works to bring together, and build relationships between, the people and institutions involved in the legal system in Iraq. She has had the opportunity to put to good use her interpersonal and legal skills, as well as interagency experience she gained in Indianapolis working on the gang task force, where she had to deal with several different federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In addition, Staton had worked with law enforcement in Santiago, Chile and Calnali, Mexico. That interagency and international


to take root. “Superiors on all sides notifying everyone involved that they will be held accountable also helps. The goal is to build relationships that will be there long after the U.S. presence is gone,” Staton says.

While on vacation back in the U.S., Staton recently paid a visit to Inlow Hall in hopes of kindling a relationship between the law school in Kirkuk (which her office has assisted in getting

back on its feet) and her alma mater. She met with Dean Gary R. Roberts and Claire Grove, ’99, Assistant Dean for Graduate Studies about how such a fledgling alliance might develop.

S t a t o n h o p e s t o continue to work with DOJ/OPDAT and will be working in Iraq at least

through March of 2009. She encourages students and alumni with an interest in DOJ/OPDAT’s Rule of Law initiatives in Iraq to find out more on their web site http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/opdat/. She is also happy to answer any questions: [email protected].

experience, along with her background as a prosecutor, made her an excellent candidate for a job that often goes to people with experience at the U.S. Attorney level.

Staton is clearly excited and cautiously optimistic about the future of Iraq. She says, “Our Rule of Law efforts are starting to work in Kirkuk,” where she and her military and DOJ colleagues have worked to increase communication and trust between judges and police. She says that the police are frustrated because they see a low conviction rate of the perpetrators they arrest, while judges are often dubious of confessions and testimony obtained from suspects who may have been tortured. She describes visiting police stations and seeing the obvious accoutrements to torture installed in the buildings. Getting members of the judiciary and law enforcement together in face-to-face meetings to discuss these fundamental differences is helping to change the climate and the rule of law is starting

DEAN’S REPORT

The Dean’s Report recognizes

those generous alumni and

friends who have supported the

school financially during fiscal

year, 2007-2008. Donors to the

law school are recognized in several

ways, including membership in

the Landmark Society, the Century

Society, the Black Cane Society, the

Maennerchor Society (all carrying

the Partners in Progress Giving

Designation), the Dean’s Council

and the Law School Associates.

During the 2007-2008 fiscal year,

gifts were received from 1,947

donors, totaling $856,351.59.

Our private fundraising is

especially important because the

law school is a state-assisted, not

state-supported, institution. Pr ivate

funds are crucial to create

scholarships, to establish endowed

professorships and faculty chairs,

and to support our academic centers

of excellence. We wish to thank the

alumni and friends, named in the

following pages, who make it a

priority to support our law school

through their loyalty and generosity.

THE LOVEJOY AWARDSThe Lovejoy Awards were established in 2004 by Joby Jerrells, ‘03. They are awarded annually to the students submitting the best briefs in the third semester of legal writing as a component of moot court participation. Elijah Lovejoy was a publisher and avid abolitionist during the antebellum era who died defending his printing press. An angry mob murdered Lovejoy in 1837 on the frontier of the American west in Alton, Illinois. Many consider Lovejoy to be the first martyr to freedom of the press in the United States. Lovejoy was a contemporary of Abraham Lincoln, who later selected Lovejoy’s younger brother John to serve as U.S. counsel to Peru. Another brother, Owen, served and died in the U.S. Congress during Lincoln’s presidency. Upon hearing the news of Owen’s death, Lincoln said: “Lovejoy was the only friend I had in Congress.” The Lovejoy Award for best brief was established to honor this generation of brothers who dedicated their lives to a greater purpose and through the power of their words, writings, and advocacy changed a nation.

Spirit of Philanthropy Awards 2007-2008THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL IUPUI SPIRIT OF

PHILANTHROPY LUNCHEON, sponsored jointly by The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, the IU Foundation and the IUPUI campus, took place on Thursday, April 17 at the new IUPUI Campus Center. Each school on the Indianapolis campus honored individuals or entities that provided exemplary voluntary service or financial support to the school. The event was attended by several hundred civic and community leaders, as well as IUPUI Chancellor Charles R. Bantz. The law school’s honorees were Adam Arceneaux, ’93, and Stephen A. Stitle, ’70.

Adam Arceneaux is a 1993 graduate (summa cum laude) of the law school. He is a partner at the firm of Ice Miller in the Competitive Business Practices Litigation Group.

While in law school, he served as Associate Editor of the INDIANA LAW REVIEW and, as a member of the Order of Barristers, participated in Intercollegiate Moot Court competitions. He has served the law school through his service as a long-time member and past president of the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis Alumni Association Board of Directors. Mr. Arceneaux has also demonstrated his exceptional dedication to his alma mater by leading fundraising efforts on the school’s behalf. He has served as a Law Firm Campaign Chair volunteer at Ice Miller for over 10 years and served as a member of the Capital Campaign Steering Committee to raise money for the new building.

Stephen A. Stitle graduated from the law school in 1970. After working as an executive at Eli Lilly and Company for nearly 25 years, he became President of Indiana Banking at National City Bank. He serves on the board of directors of numerous organizations including the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, the Indianapolis and Indiana Chambers of Commerce, Indiana University Foundation, and the Sagamore Institute for Policy Research. He currently serves on the law school’s Board of Visitors and volunteers for the mock interview program with the school’s Office of Professional Development and alumni association. He used his fund raising expertise for the benefit of his alma mater while serving as a co-chair of the law school’s highly successful capital campaign to raise funds for the new building. Throughout his impressive career, he has consistently shown dedication toward the law school and the university, as well as leadership among his alumni and community peers.

IU SCHOOL OF LAW-INDIANAPOLIS

To our celebratory class years ending “4” and “9”:

Your class reunion is fast approaching. In addition to reconnecting with special friends and your favorite faculty members, we hope you will join us as we begin a new IU Law-Indianapolis tradition. In addition to class recognition, we will welcome the class of 2009 as the newest members of our alumni family.

We will celebrate the class of 1959’s Golden Anniversary, 1984’s Silver Anniversary, and 1994’s Crystal Anniversary. We warmly welcome all other “4” and “9” class years to join us in celebrating your class’s achievements; and we need to know whether you have an interest in having the Alumni Association assist in organizing activities for you. The Alumni Association will happily work with your class in contacting fellow classmates, collecting reservations, and handling all the details for the weekend.

Would your class like to participate? We are looking for “class agents” to serve as representatives in organizing your class festivities. Please contact Danny Kibble, Director of Alumni Programs at [email protected], (317) 274-2289, or toll free (866) 267-3104 if you would like to help plan our activities or if your class is interested in participating.

We look forward to seeing you in May!

Annual Law Firm and Corporate Campaign 2007

DEAN’S REPORT

Each year, alumni in a number of law firms and corporations participate in the Annual Law Firm and Corporate Campaign. A volunteer chair is recruited from each firm or corporation, and they are asked to solicit contributions from fellow alumni in their office. This annual campaign is vital to the law school’s annual fund and is, by far, our most successful fund raising drive of the year. Thank you to the 2007 Campaign Chairs and everyone who participated in the 2007 Law Firm and Corporate Campaign. We would especially like to recognize the firms with the highest percentage of participation, as well as the firms and corporations who are recognized for their total dollars contributed in the 2007 campaign.

The Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis salutes the 38 firms and corporations and the 432 alumni who participated in the 2007 Law Firm and Corporate Campaign. Highlighted below are the top firms and corporations.

The law school would like to recognize the following alumni and friends who have donated annually to the school for 25 consecutive years or more.

“Much of the success I have enjoyed in my career is attributable to the good training I received in law school and the contacts and friends I made while I was there. The law school needs help from its friends and former students to continue being a top notch institution. This is why I contribute, will continue to contribute, and urge my fellow alumni to contribute.”

“My experiences at the law school laid the foundation for, and positioned me to have, a career I wouldn’t even have dreamed back then that I could have. Professors Harvey, Jegen, Grove, Archer and others served me well and left lasting impressions. Our school has grown in stature and many other ways since I graduated. Sustained alumni support is essential for that to continue.”

“Giving to IU has become a habit over the years. A good one, I think.”

ARGUING BEFORE THE CHICAGO IMMIGRATION COURT, law students Lun Kham and Andrea Schmidt recently secured lawful permanent residency for the immigrant parents of three American-born children. The father and mother of the Indianapolis family (from Guatemala and Mexico respectively) had both resided in the United States for approximately 18 years. During that time, they raised a family of three boys, all U.S. citizens, now ages 15, 13 and 10.

Professor Linda Kelly Hill, director of the Immigration Clinic at the law school, says, “The boys excel in school, taking advanced classes and having high ambitions for their college educations and futures. One of the children also suffers from severe migraines and weight loss and is under close medical supervision. Through championship soccer teams, church and school, the parents are also extremely active in the community and their boys’ lives.”

Kham and Schmidt were able to argue persuasively that the parents were eligible for “cancellation of removal” by proving the “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” that would have been imposed on these three U.S. citizen children if they were effectively deported upon their parents being ordered to be removed. The students’ representation included providing all necessary examination and argumentation in a four hour hearing, drafting a 50 page legal memo, submitting nearly 700 pages of documentary evidence and preparing over 10 witnesses, including family, teachers and doctors. Because of the students’ work, the parents now have lawful permanent residency and already look forward to the day they can be sworn in as United States citizens.

The law school’s Immigration Clinic was established in 2006 by Professor Linda Kelly Hill, the M. Dale Palmer Professor of Law. Clinic students represent non-detained immigrants in immigration matters under the supervision of Professor Kelly Hill. Since its inception, approximately 30 students have assisted in Immigration Clinic cases.
