  • 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.

  • Indiana Geographical Nomenclature
    INDIANA GEOGRAPHICAL NOMENCLATURE. OME years ago Henry Gannett, geographer of the United S States Geological Survey, prepared a list of places in the United States, giving the origin of their names, and from this work an anonymous newspaper correspondent compiled the fol- lowing list of Indiana places, which we copy verbatim: Adams : County, named after President John Quincy Adams. Alfordsville: Named for James Alford, who built the first house. Allen: County, named for Colonel William Allen, of Ken- tucky. Amo : Hendricks county, Tntlian word meaning bee. Anderson : Madison county, English name of a Delaware chief. Anoka : Cass county, Indian word meaning “on both sides.” Argos: Marshall county, named from the town in Greece.

Roonville : Warrick county, disputed ; claimed in honor of Daniel Boone, others say named for Ratliffe Boone, second Gov- ernor of the State, who laid it out.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • California's Couts Cousins
    CALIFORNIA’S COUTS COUSINS IN MEMORY OF OUR FRIEND, JAMES ARMSTRONG A Bi-annual Newsletter for the Descendants of the Couts Family #47 WELCOME- It is the goal of this newsletter to create interest in and share the research for the Couts (pronounced Koutz) and Allied Family genealogy. It can only be written with the cooperation of each family member. We encourage each of you to send in your family group sheets and enter data as far back as you can find. The information that you find within its covers will be as “true” as we can prove. We gladly accept articles, photos, genealogy lines, and family stories. We plan to complete this edition to Newsletter #50 and then, we will end the series. IS IT PROOF? For over twenty years, brother Bo Couts and I have been looking for proof that Teter Couts (Dietrich Kautz) was related to Henry Couts (believed to be his son). Are they related? I think that we’ve found a piece of proof. We know that Henry Couts was related to Chrisley Couts, John Couts, and Margaret Couts. Chrisley Couts Jr. and Margaret Couts were left money and land in Henry’s will. Chrisley Couts Jr.’s father was Chrisley Couts Sr. Chrisley Couts, Sr’s (d. 1790) tombstone was carved (Chrisley Couts, brother of John Couts, 1811) and was placed in the Couts Cemetery on the John Armstrong farm, former land of John and Chrisley Couts. John Couts bought Chrisley’s land from his heirs probably before their mother’s (Sarah Wright Couts Collins) death circa 1811 and before they all headed to Indiana and Missouri on a wagon train with the Bartons, Collins, and Caldwells.
