Lawyer Summer 2018 Issue 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. We are pleased to provide an educational foundation that allows our students to become successful in a wide variety of places and careers. You will also read about faculty accomplishments, including IU McKinney Law’s participation in the Indiana University “Responding to the Addictions Crisis” Grand Challenge initiative. Members of our Hall Center for Law and Health faculty, led by Professor Nic Terry, are playing important roles in this initiative, which ultimately will have a significant impact on the state of Indiana as well as the nation. Sadly, not all of our news in this issue is good. Just as we experience personal loss in our lives, so too, do we experience it in the life of the school. In December, Professor Emerita and former dean, Susanah M. Mead passed away after a short illness. I worked closely with Susie as her associate dean during the two years that she served as the law school’s interim dean. Susie led her alma mater during a challenging period, and did so with the utmost in skill, professionalism, and grace. She will be greatly missed by faculty, staff and alumni alike. In this magazine you will find a tribute to Susie, an outstanding teacher and the first woman and alumnus to lead our school as dean. We will host a celebration of life for Susie, to which alumni are invited, on August 24th, here at Inlow Hall. You will receive information about that memorial in the near future. I am also saddened to report that another professor, truly an icon of this school, Pro- fessor Lawrence A. Jegen, III, passed away in May. So many of the alumni that I have met over the years have shared their “Jegen stories.” He truly touched the lives of countless students during his 56 years of teaching. In April, we hosted an event honoring Larry, and announcing that a fund raising goal had been met that will allow establishment of the “Lawrence A. Jegen, III Chair in Tax Law”—a fitting tribute to a larger-than-life faculty member whose legacy will live on at the school for years to come. Finally, I hope that you and yours will have a wonderful summer with some time for rest and relaxation—and I look forward to the start of another year in the life of our school next fall. Andrew R.

  • 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).

    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • 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.

    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
