  • Indiana Law Review
    Indiana Law Review Volume 44 2010 Number 1 NOTE S EXTING: A RESPONSE TO PROSECUTING THOSE GROWING UP WITH A GROWING TREND J ORDAN J. SZYMIALIS* INTRODUCTION Hope liked a boy and sent him a photo showing her breasts.1 The photo eventually made its way around Hope’s entire school.2 The school suspended Hope, and she returned to school to face a barrage of insults as students called her a “‘whore’ and [a] ‘slut.’”3 Three months later, Hope’s mother found her daughter dead, all of thirteen years old, after “Hope [hung] herself in her bedroom.”4 Like Hope’s tragic story, the debate over how to respond to “sexting” has headlined news outlets over the past several years.5 A minor creates a “sext” message by “tak[ing] a picture of him- or herself with a digital camera or cell phone camera, or ask[ing] someone else to take that picture.”6 In a high school class of one hundred students, perhaps as many as twenty of these students will have sent sexually explicit images to each other by cell phone.7 Prosecutors * J.D.-M.B.A. Candidate, 2011, Indiana University School of Law—Indianapolis; B.A., 2007, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. I would like to express immense gratitude to Professor Joel M. Schumm, Hattie Harman, and Danielle Tucker, as well as the other editors of the Indiana Law Review whose suggestions and edits made this Note possible. Finally, I want to thank my family, friends, and especially Cindy, for their enduring patience and feedback throughout the development of this Note.

  • The Laws of Indiana and Wisconsin
    Chapter 7 Researching outside of Illinois: The Laws of Indiana and Wisconsin Heidi Frostestad Kuehl Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Librarian and Coordinator of Educational Programming and Outreach Pritzker Legal Research Center Northwestern University School of Law Beginning State-Specific Legal Research in Indiana or Wisconsin The first step of any type of legal research is finding background materials and sources for jurisdictional legal research. Legal researchers rely upon secondary sources, such as legal encyclopedias, American Law Reports, treatises, nutshells, or other types of books about legal topics, to begin their research in topics of the law or particular jurisdictions of law. Like with topical research or Federal research, it is wise to begin State law research with a legal encyclopedia (if the State has one) to decipher the terminology of particular State law research topics and collect citations to primary law that are found in the footnotes of a secondary source. For a national scope and treatment of States, researchers may choose to consult one or both of the two prominent legal encyclopedias: American Jurisprudence 2d (Am.Jur.2d) or Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.). Both of these national legal encyclopedias are available in print in most academic law libraries or court libraries or are also available online on Westlaw/WestlawNext. In addition to national legal encyclopedias, there are also State-specific legal encyclopedias that provide great overviews and analysis for State-specific legal topics. For the laws of Indiana, researchers rely on West’s Indiana Law Encyclopedia to begin topical areas of legal research. In Wisconsin, legal researchers begin their research in other types of secondary sources, such as the Wisconsin Practice series or one of the national legal encyclopedias (Am.Jur.2d or C.J.S.), because there is not a State-specific legal encyclopedia.

Stop AAPI Hate does not warrant the accuracy of the informaon contained herein. Users are encouraged to seek advice from a licensed aorney regarding potenal violaons of any applicable public accommodaon laws. ** CAVEATS (1) This survey reviews general public accommodaon statutes under federal law and the laws of the states and District of Columbia. A review of case law interpreng the scope and applicaon of these statutes as well as a review of other statutes that may provide general an-discriminaon protecons or other indirect legal protecons are beyond the scope of this survey. (2) The scope of public accommodaon statutes differ from jurisdicon to jurisdicon based on differences in how key terms are statutorily defined and the existence of different statutory exempons to the statutes. (3) Addional public accommodaon laws may exist at the local (sub-federal/state) level. A comprehensive survey of which localies have enacted such laws is beyond the scope of this survey. However, in jurisdicons where no statewide public accommodaon laws for individuals based on race, color, or naonal origin exist, an aempt has been made to determine whether local public accommodaon laws exist in major urban centers in those jurisdicons. 1 (4) To the extent this survey indicates no private right of acon exists, that merely indicates no private right of acon is expressly authorized by that jurisdicon’s general public accommodaon statute.
