    Politics Indiana V14 N43 Thursday, June 19, 2008 Thompson-Oxley seeking unity Waterman-Jehl look for a ‘miracle’ while Daniels picks up key RTL nod By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - For the first time in Hoosier history, when Jill Long Thomp- son addresses the Indiana Democratic Convention around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, she will become the first female nominee, following the footsteps of other gender pioneers like Virginia Dill McCarty, Ann DeLaney and Vi Simpson. She will greet a convention with the theme “Restoring Indiana’s Promises” along with her new running mate, State Rep. Dennie Oxley. The campaign hopes it closes a controversial and unsettled period for Indiana Democrats. The state party and much of the establishment backed Jim Schellinger’s gubernatorial bid. The six weeks since her primary victory has offered an array of mixed signals. The Jill Long Thompson with State Rep. Dennie Oxley and his wife, Jayme, at the State- campaign had house on Monday.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • 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.

COOKSEY AND JAMES E. “TREY” TRAINOR, III We joined our colleagues in voting unanimously to dismiss these matters as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion.1 We write separately because we do not believe the Respondents in these matters violated the law. In reaching that judgment, we would adopt the reasoning set out by Commissioners McGahn, Hunter, and Petersen in previous statements analyzing what mailer features do and do not constitute express advocacy to conclude that these do not.2 In particular, a mailer does not contain express advocacy under 11 C.F.R. § 100.22(b) merely because it identifies someone as a candidate for federal office, or because it compares two candidates’ policy positions with a clear preference for one, or because it comments on a candidate’s character, or even because the mailer is sent close in time to an election. It must be that “[r]easonable minds could not differ as to whether it encourages actions to elect or defeat” a candidate.3 1 Certification (Apr. 22, 2021), MUR 7460 (Fair People for Fair Government); Certification (Apr. 28, 2021), MURs 7536 & 7551 (Coalition for a Safe Secure America). 2 See, e.g., Statement of Reasons of Vice Chairman Donald F.

    INDIANA’S 1988 GUBERNATORIAL RESIDENCY CHALLENGE Joseph Hadden Hogsett Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History Indiana University June 2007 Accepted by the Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D., Chair Elizabeth Brand Monroe, Ph.D. Master’s Thesis Committee William A. Blomquist, Ph.D. ii Dedicated to the memory of my colleague and friend, Jon D. Krahulik iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I take this opportunity to thank the people who helped make this paper possible. Dr. Robert G. Barrows served as my seminar professor, my mentor and the Chair of this thesis committee. Many other graduate students have acknowledged his sound advice, his guidance, his editing and his sense of humor. All of those also apply here. In my case, however, above all, I owe him a debt of gratitude for patience. This paper began as a concept in his seminar in the spring of 2002, but was not finished for five years. Even if Dr. Barrows had known then how flawed and distracted the author would prove to be, I am convinced he still would have agreed to chair the project. His patience is a gift. I also acknowledge the advice offered unconditionally by the committee’s other members, Dr. Elizabeth Brand Monroe and Dr. William A. Blomquist. Though they, like Dr. Barrows, possessed sufficient probable cause to notify authorities of a “missing person”, both exercised incredible restraint and, in so doing, no doubt violated some antiquainted canon of academic protocol.
