HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - Republican mayor-elect Greg Ballard took the stage at the Murat on Election night and told a frenzied crowd, “Welcome to the biggest upset in Indiana political history! This is a classic, if not the ultimate, example of grassroots politics.” Ballard’s upset of Mayor Bart Peterson was one of at least 15 incum- bents who were defeated Tuesday.

    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.
