Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine SUMMER 2011 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine The IMPACT Campaign: Your Chance to Make a Difference for the Law School INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean As I comPLete my fouRth yeAR As DeAn, I am struck by what a marvelous law school we have, how far it has come in its brief history with a full-time day program, and the tremendous impact it and its more than 10,000 alumni have on Indiana and beyond. We should all be extremely proud. At the same time, however, I am also struck by the fact that as good as the school is, there is still much we need to do to make it the very best it can be. for this reason, we are embarking on an ambitious capital campaign, the success of which is vital to the school’s ability, in an increasingly competitive environment, to continue producing great lawyers, judges, and leaders. this issue of the magazine focuses on this campaign and, consistent with our recently adopted strategic plan, on the areas in which resources raised will be invested—faculty, student scholarships, nationally prominent programs and skills training/experiential learning. While the school is generally ranked highly among all u.s. law schools, its funding is near the bottom. our direct expenditures per student last year ranked 141st out of 198 and our financial aid per student budget was in the bottom quartile. our resources are by far the lowest of all Big ten law schools. If we can provide an excellent education for students with this small amount of funding, consider what we could do if we had sufficient dollars to do what most other law schools can do already—such as fund endowed faculty chairs, or offer core classes with fewer than 100 students in the classroom. every year, we lose quality applicants to weaker schools that can offer greater scholarship packages, and we are unable to provide opportunities and services to our students and faculty that are taken for granted elsewhere. Just think what we could do for our students if we had sufficient funding. for the next two years, our campaign leadership and I will be challenging alumni and others to step up and invest in what is arguably the most important educational asset in Indiana. I am confident that we will all meet that challenge. Gary R. Roberts Dean and Gerald L.

On top of a marketing and publicity plan, on top of self-publishing their first editions and then tirelessly and strategically promoting them, they created a commu- nity through WNBA and other organizations, leveraged the power of the Internet, and built national networks of sup- porters and advocates.

    The McKinney Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Lawyer Summer 2018 Issue IU McKinney Master of Laws Program Commemorates 15th Anniversary In Small Towns and Big Cities, McKinney Alumni Thrive Health Law Professors Collaborate on IU Addictions Crisis Grand Challenges Project Message from the Dean I am pleased to present this latest issue of The McKinney Lawyer, our school’s alumni magazine, designed to keep you up-to-date on happenings in the life of the law school. As I write this, it occurs to me that our school does, indeed, almost have a life of its own, with the same types of ups and downs that we experience in our individual lives. For example, in the following pages, you will read that we celebrated two anniver- saries last fall: the 15th anniversary of our Master of Laws (LL.M.) program and the 20th anniversary of our Program in International Human Rights Law (PIHRL). The LL.M. program, founded by Professor Emeritus Jeff Grove, has graduated more than 650 students from 71 countries since its inception. Our PIHRL has had a similar inter- national reach. That program, founded by Professor George Edwards, has facilitated more than 250 internship placements for students in 67 countries. We are proud of these milestones and hope that you will enjoy reading about them. In this issue, we also celebrate the many professional opportunities that our school affords to graduates. We highlight alumni who have chosen Bright Lights/Big City careers, as well as those who choose to make noteworthy impacts in smaller locales, becoming part of the fiber of the communities in which they live.

  • Indiana State Senate
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).

Alas, ambitious refurbishment does not come without some practical inconvenience and I am full of praise for our support staff who are working so hard to ensure life for our current students and academic staff will not be disrupted by the building work. I am confident that we can minimize those disruptions and continue to develop and thrive as a School. I am really grateful to all concerned for making it so. I also want to take this opportunity to welcome our new academic staff this semester. Dr Paolo Cavaliere joins us as the new Lecturer in Digital Media/IT Law.
