Various as their topics appear, what these authors have in common is a strategy they carefully designed and then diligently worked. 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.

    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.

REDINOCENTE: THE CHALLENGE OF BRINGING INNOCENCE WORK TO LATIN AMERICA Justin Brooks* t In 2008, I traveled to Oruro, Bolivia to train defense attorneys on DNA technology. I had done similar trainings in Chile, Paraguay, Mexico, and other countries in Latin America, but nowhere that felt quite so remote. The 143-mile bus trip from La Paz passed through dusty villages filled with mud huts and lacking basic infrastructure. The bus stopped many times, picking up Chola women wearing shawls and derby hats, and carrying their huge satchels of goods to sell and trade. It seemed unlikely that the technology I would be talking about would have much value in this remote outpost. My fears were confirmed when I talked to the lawyers I was training in Oruro. They lacked access to basic technology and there were certainly no DNA labs readily available to them. On the other hand, I became optimistic when I talked to the local judges.

    UN Group Urges Release of American in Nicaragua

    May 30, 2012 U.N. Group Urges Release of American in Nicaragua By Mary Slosson (Reuters) - A United Nations group has called for the immediate release of a U.S. citizen serving a 22-year prison sentence in Nicaragua for drug trafficking and money laundering, concluding that he was wrongly convicted, his supporters said on Wednesday. Jason Puracal, 34, was detained by Nicaraguan authorities in November 2010 and found guilty by a trial judge nine months later along with 10 co-defendants, all of them Nicaraguan nationals. Those co-defendants testified that they had never met or worked with Puracal, and the prosecution's own witnesses said he was innocent, according to his legal team. Puracal's supporters said he came under suspicion due to his job as a real estate agent, which gave him control over large sums of money held in escrow for property transactions and drew the attention of Nicaraguan law enforcement authorities. In a May 24 opinion provided to Reuters by his legal team, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found Puracal was arbitrarily imprisoned and recommended he be freed immediately. The report, given confidentially to the Nicaraguan government earlier this month, was released publicly by Puracal's supporters on Wednesday. Puracal has become a cause celebre for human rights activists in the United States and around the world, with U.S. lawmakers appealing to Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and a former high-ranking U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official launching a massive petition drive on Puracal's behalf. 1 "There are thousands of American citizens who are detained around the world, and currently Jason Puracal is the only one who has the United Nations calling for him to be released," Eric Volz, founder of an international crisis resource organization called the David House Agency, told Reuters.
