  • Counter-Terrorism and the Law
    WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family.

  • 2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis
    Preamble We've come a long way in a short time. With a focus and a commitment to serve Hoosier taxpayers, and not special interests, Indiana's Party of Purpose has enacted improvements that have made government smaller and more efficient, improved our state's economy, and ensured Indiana's Comeback continues to move full steam ahead. After years of government spending and debt, Republican leadership balanced the budget without raising taxes. At the same time, services have improved across the state. A leaner state government has actually improved quality. Our Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now a model for efficiency, moving customers through in 10 minutes or less. Major Moves has improved infrastructure by providing a decade worth of funding for projects around the state that had been promised and delayed for decades. Property taxes in Indiana are among the lowest in the nation, having been cut by 30 percent and capped permanently by the voters and by our State Constitution. Along the way, we have lived by a number of simple principles, but atop that list is the fact that Hoosiers know what's best for Hoosiers. We don't ask for, or want, the federal government to interfere with or dictate how we should live our lives. The improvements we have made, together, have come from within, from Hoosiers. We owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Mitch Daniels and Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman , our dynamic Hoosier duo, who have worked and led to make Indiana a better place to live, work and invest, alongside House Speaker Brian Bosma , Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and our majorities in the House and Senate.

  • A PARTY of PURPOSE – MOVING INDIANA FORWARD 2006 Indiana Republican State Platform Preamble
    A PARTY OF PURPOSE – MOVING INDIANA FORWARD 2006 Indiana Republican State Platform Preamble Indiana Republicans recognize and support the strong leadership provided by our elected officials such as: Senator Richard Lugar, Governor Mitch Daniels, and members of our Congressional delegation and the Indiana General Assembly, to move our state forward. Our system of government operates best when its leaders fulfill their promises and make the tough decisions in the best interests of the people. As the party of purpose, Indiana Republicans will continue to offer Hoosiers real ideas to provide new economic opportunities, fiscal responsibility, and improved government service to the people of this state. We will confront our challenges on the field of ideas, and relentlessly pursue the worthy goal of a better Indiana. Governor Mitch Daniels promised to aim high and lead a great Indiana comeback and he is keeping his promise! Strong leadership focused on getting results for Hoosiers by Governor Daniels, Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and Republican majorities in the Indiana House and Senate is making a difference for Indiana. While putting Indiana back on the path of fiscal responsibility, these leaders have still been responsible for increasing funding for education, Medicaid, and child protective services. Republican successes include: Jobs and economic growth: > Created the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) > Made it easier for small businesses to qualify for tax incentives that promote job growth and investment > Modernized Indiana's

  • The M Kinney
    The McKinney Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Lawyer Fall 2017 Issue Robert H. McKinney Receives Herman B Wells Visionary Award For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign IU McKinney Signs Cooperation Agreement with Vietnam National University Message from the Dean At the IU McKinney School of Law, student success is our top priority. In recent years, we have increased our support efforts and I want to share some of the outstanding programming we offer to help our students to succeed from their first day as part of the law school family. Our Office of Student Affairs assigns an advisor to every student at the beginning of the academic year. These advisors provide guidance on any number of academic and per- sonal issues that students may encounter. The office also sponsors a range of wellness programs throughout the year, beginning with intensive “Wellness Week” programming at the start of the semester, providing students with information about resources to enhance fitness, relieve stress, and make law school a positive experience on a personal level. In addition to the efforts of the Office of Student Affairs, the school has established a formal Academic and Bar Success Program that provides academic assistance to stu- dents. Programs for first-year students include a skills-based workshop series offered during the first semester that focuses on study methods, case and rule synthesis, out- lining, and exam preparation. Some of you may remember the Dean’s Tutorial Society (DTS) from when you were in school. The DTS is a long-standing tradition at IU McKinney, dating back to the 1970s, that offers peer-to-peer support for the first-year classes, “survival series” panels to assist with the transition to law school, and one-on-one tutoring for students who seek to improve their academic performance after the first semester.

Washington St, W160A— Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 800-45-STATE or 317– 233-0800 www.in.gov/sic STATE OF INDIANA M itchell E. Daniels, Jr. Dear Students, Thank you for taking an interest in your state government. On the following pages, you will learn how your government functions, discover more about the people who lead our great state, and see the symbols that represent us. But, I would like to share with you an idea that won’t be defined in this booklet - your role as an inspiration to this government. When I first decided to run for Governor, I spoke of the need for change in our state to make it a better place for our children. After I placed my hand on the Bible and took the oath office to become your Governor, I asked Hoosiers across the state to keep in mind that our children were watching and depending upon us to make Indiana a better place to call home. Lawmakers heard this call and acted to create more jobs, improve our schools, and protect the children who need it most. We are holding up our end of the bargain. Now I have a request of you. Indiana needs you to be ready. The work you are doing today in school is as important as my work today as Governor. Our state is counting on you to study hard, continue your education beyond college, and graduate ready to play your role in our society.
