As Chief Justice, Rush is responsible for supervising the entire judicial branch. That includes administration and funding of court programs across the state.

Chief Justice Rush serves as vice president of the Conference of Chief Justices Board of Directors, is a member of National Center for State Courts Board of Directors, and recently led response efforts to the addictions crisis as co-chair of the National Judicial Opioid Task Force. She was also recently appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts to serve as a member of the Judicial Conference Committee on Federal-State Jurisdiction.

She is an Academy of Law Alumni Fellow for the Maurer School of Law and chairs or is a member of several commissions including the Commission on Improving the Status of Children in Indiana and the Judicial Nominating/Qualifications Commission.

She has also received the Purdue University Distinguished Alumni Award with induction into the Boiler Business Exchange Hall of Fame, the Indianapolis Bar Association’s Antoinette Dakin Leach Award, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission Spirit of Justice Award, and the Indiana Business Journal Women of Influence Award. Chief Justice Rush was born in Pennsylvania and moved frequently as a child before settling in Indiana in 1972. She earned her undergraduate degree from Purdue University and her law degree from Indiana University Maurer School of Law, both with honors. She is married to Jim Rush with four children and three grandchildren. Marian University is privileged to award an honorary doctorate to Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush, who has generously employed her gifts and talents to lead Indiana’s Supreme Court and serve the public at large. 3 Honorary Degrees Frank D. Walker Recipient of Doctor of Philanthropy Frank D. Walker is chairman emeritus of Walker Information, a customer experience advisory firm serving national and international clients headquartered in Indianapolis.

In 1960, he joined the family business, founded in 1939 by his mother, Dorothy “Tommie” Walker. He was chairman and chief executive officer from 1983-94, stepping down when his son, Steve, the third generation, took command. In addition to Walker’s son, one daughter and two grandchildren work for the company. In 1990, Walker received the Individual Enterprise Award from the Indianapolis Business Journal. In 1994, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce named Walker Outstanding Business Leader of the Year, and in 1998, he was the Distinguished Leadership Award recipient. In 2000, he was elected to the Indiana Business Hall of Fame, and he was named a Sagamore of the Wabash in 2004.

The town of Carlisle was the county seat from 1816-1819. A log building in the town of Merom served as the courthouse from 1819 to 1842. The City of Sullivan became the county seat in 1843. The Sullivan County courthouse has been located in the center of the downtown city square in Sullivan since 1843. The construction of the current courthouse began in 1926 and was completed in 1928.

John Bayard was also the architect of the Vermillion County Courthouse, and the Sullivan County Courthouse and the Vermillion County Courthouse are nearly identical in style. It was the conscious choice of the Sullivan County Commissioners to construct the courthouse in Sullivan based on the design of the Vermillion County Courthouse, which had been completed in 1924.

  • Message from the Dean
    cover 12/19/07 1:58 PM Page 1 cover 12/19/07 1:58 PM Page 2 Message From the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends, My first semester as Dean of the IU School of Law-Indianapolis is coming to a close. It has been a hectic and exhilarating six months! As I have mentioned before, we have a great school—and the longer I am here, the more convinced I am that we have the potential to be one of the finest institutions of legal education in the country. As you read the articles in this magazine/dean’s report, you will see that our school is involved in some very exciting initiatives. You will read about our LL.M. program creating new campuses in Egypt, and you will learn about our many students, faculty and alumni who are making a significant impact, not just in Indiana, but across the country and around the world. I hope you will take the time to read about the many programs that have taken place at the school so far this year—such as this fall’s Conference on Relations Between Congress and the Federal Courts, which featured U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito—the fourth Supreme Court Justice to visit Inlow Hall since its dedication in 2001 and the second in the span of five months. Recently I spent a fair amount of time comparing our financial status with that of other Big Ten law schools, and I have to tell you that it is quite astonishing that our school has been able to maintain its reputation and high quality of programs given that we rank dead last in virtually every financial metric among Big Ten schools.

SELBY* “The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.”1 In his 1999 State of the Union address, President William Jefferson Clinton recognized a great heroine of the Civil Rights’ movement, Rosa Parks.2 Parks, in 1955, refused to give up her seat on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in violation of one of the restrictive Jim Crow laws.3 At the address, Parks sat in the House Chamber with First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton. When recognized, this quiet, diminutive eighty-six-year-old woman rose and nodded to thunderous applause from everyone in the Chamber. As we approach the millennium, it seems appropriate to look back on the pathways that led us to this point. Rosa Parks’ brave act on that Alabama bus, and similar heroic acts by others, led to pinnacle Supreme Court civil rights cases that marked the end of Jim Crow laws.4 * Associate Justice, Indiana Supreme Court.
