Hugh Dillin 40 Closing Arguments Professor Yvonne `Cripps on Indiana Law in evolution from the dean Lauren K. Rebel, JD'83 Dean and Val Nolan Professor of Law One aspect of an Indiana Law education we are most committed to is the sense of community that permeates this beautiful and historic Bloomington campus. We take great pride in providing our students with a feeling of home and personal attention. This issue demonstrates that our community extends well beyond Bloomington. The strategic plan calls for Indiana Law to integrate a global perspective into the intellectual and social life of the school. The Law School's global connections promote a sense of community and shared responsibility with the world. Moreover, Indiana Law's broad and extensive international connections build a greater understanding of the law in the United States and abroad. My colleague Professor Ken Dau-Schmidt accurately describes our call to influence international debate. He says, "It is important for Americans to be both leaders and listeners in the global community." You will see in this "Making Connections" edition of the Bill of Particulars the vast wealth of international interactions occurring here at your alma mater. Members of our class of 2006 hailed from 33 states and one foreign country, and our international graduate students span the globe, connecting us to countries such as Bolivia, South Africa, Guinea-Bissau, and the Ukraine. Each year, with the help of Lesley Davis, our assistant dean of international programs, the student body continues to represent a varied slice of the global community. Our extensive study-abroad program invites students such as Lauren Luke, JD'06, (seepage 29) to test boundaries and gain perspective. Through educational programs such as the London Consortium, Indiana Law students grow exponentially. They meet fellow law students from around the world, entrench themselves in new cultures, and bring back a world view that influences their life direction and benefits their peers in the Law School and their future employers and clients. Our faculty members also frequently teach and travel overseas, where their teaching and scholarship foster long-lasting connections with peer faculty. Indiana Law professors often invite international scholars to bring their own teaching to Bloomington. The insight they gain is invaluable if we are to succeed in nurturing our community of engaged, influential scholars. Indiana Law is better for these contributions, but the immeasurable impact of international outreach is evidenced in the courageous efforts of alumni connecting with pediatric AIDS patients in Romania or founding justice centers for bonded slave laborers in India and China (see page 20). In fact, our talented alumni currently work in at least 20 countries around the globe. As the world continues to shrink and global interdependencies grow, it is imperative that we commit to the betterment of our students, faculty, and alumni, as well as our fellow legal scholars and practitioners who promote the rule of law in their respective countries. We are proud of the role Indiana Law plays in advancing that priceless goal, and I thank you for your continued support in keeping us connected — to one another and the world. The strategic plan calls for Indiana Law to integrate a global perspective into the intellectual and social life of the school. 2 around the school Indiana Law celebrates class of 2006 The class of 2006 began law school a varied, accomplished group. A former Navy pilot, a Congressional chief of staff, and a cattle rancher — to name just a few — joined the student body for three years of study and self-discovery. Now, with impressive accomplishments and a catalog of life lessons, these graduates embrace impressive careers in at least 20 states, including Maine, Hawaii, California, New York, and Texas, and abroad. The successful graduates crossed the IU Auditorium stage following words from featured speaker Rapheal Prevot Jr., JD'84, and fellow graduating student Maurice Williams. Prevot spoke about his experiences as a lawyer and as labor relations counsel for the National Football League and the opportunities that shaped his legal career. "It is not always what you learn in a law book that is going to make you a successful lawyer; it is a combination of a lot of things," he said. "Compassion, humility, dignity, courtesy, ethics, a sense of never losing sight of where you come from, and being able to reach back and give to your community are big parts of practicing law." Williams's illustrious law school career included chairing the Student Bar Association and heavy involvement in the Black Law Student Association and American Intellectual Property Law Association as well as numerous fellowships and campus leadership positions. His decorated resume belies an uproarious sense of humor. The audience delighted in his dry wit, subtly injected throughout the course of his speech. While reminiscing on the travails of his law school career, Williams encouraged fellow classmates to remain optimistic about future success. Members of his class go on as clerks for judges in the U.S. Circuit and District Courts, state supreme courts, U.S. Tax Court and U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and courts of appeal in four different states. Many boast prestigious positions with firms such as Winston & Strawn, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Arnold & Porter, Jones Day, and Covington & Burling. Four Indiana Law alumni earned places as presidential management interns. Sang Jo You, LLM'06, lends his cap and gown — and a bright smile — to his young son, Eunseo You, outside the IU Auditorium. Sang Jo You was one of more than 70 LLM candidates matriculating this spring as part of Indiana Law's Graduate Legal Studies Program. Clinic students pave way for stem-cell patent development Work by two Indiana Law students on a revolutionary research development tool marks a successful inaugural year for the school's Entrepreneurship Law Clinic. Charles Logsdon, JD'06, and Megha Patel, now a third-year student, worked with Cook Group Inc., the IURTC, and the IU Medical School to create a map of stem-cell patents. Both students boast PhDs in biology and an interest in intellectual property law. Former ELC director Timothy Boeglin, JD'84, called the pair a testament to Indiana Law's diverse incoming students and to a burgeoning and distinguished intellectual property program. The students searched for, analyzed, and organized more than 200 patents and pending applications. The IU Medical School and Cook will use the map to identify commercial and research opportunities in the stem-cell field. "There is no limit to the scope of possibilities with this tool," says Boeglin. "Plant biotechnology, computer science, pharmaceutical development... it's a growing trend, and I know of no other law school working on a project like this." The success of the project earned Logsdon and Patel valuable industry exposure and professional experience. In addition to this ambitious endeavor, projects tackled by the ELC in 2005-06 ran the gamut — from drafting business plans concerning the use of cell phone technology for medical records and studying rural Wi-Fi technology to not-for-profit e-health initiatives. 3 Dean Lauren Robel presents Cynthia Reichard with a Trustees Teaching Award. Annual awards recognize exceptional teaching The Trustees Teaching Award, Leon H. Wallace Teaching Award, and Leonard D. Fromm Public Interest Faculty Award, granted annually, serve as coveted emblems for our faculty's continued and steadfast commitment to high-quality instruction. "The teachers who are honored today exhibit the very best in creative, demanding, and effective teaching," said Dean Lauren Robel, JD'83. "The opportunity to make such awards is not only cause for celebration, it is an important institutional statement on our part. It enables us, as an institution, to recognize and honor teaching." The Leon H. Wallace Teaching Award for 2006 went to Professor Bill Henderson, and the Public Interest Law Foundation named professors David and Susan Williams joint winners of the Leonard D. Fromm Public Interest Faculty Award. After poring over each faculty member's evaluations, a student committee named professors Don Gjerdingen, Joe Hoffmann, and Cynthia Reichard the 2006 winners of the Trustees Teaching Award. Winners were recognized during a ceremony held April 12 in the Moot Court Room. Marguerite Shreve earns first-ever Adjunct Faculty Teaching Award More than 30 practicing attorneys and Indiana Law alumni share valuable time and expertise with law students as adjunct faculty. This year, Indiana Law introduced an award to commemorate the special contributions these individuals make to our learning community. The inaugural Adjunct Faculty Teaching Award went to Marguerite Shreve, who currently teaches Federal Estate and Gift Taxation. "My students are really special," she said. "They're special because they choose to take tax as an elective." The crowd laughed, but Shreve noted more seriously that the award was, indeed, a huge honor. Shreve has engaged Indiana Law students for nearly 20 years and is praised year after year for "her mastery of material, compassion, and patience" in the classroom. She brings a national, seasoned perspective to the issues as a practicing attorney with Jones McGlasson & Benckart in Bloomington and is admitted to practice in Indiana, New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, in the U.S. Tax Court, and in the U.S. Supreme Court. Alumni argue, classes discuss Indiana Court of Appeals hearing In March, Indiana Law welcomed the Indiana Court of Appeals to the school's Moot Court Room to hear arguments in the case of Kondra v. Charter One Mortgage Corporation. Though the court typically visits Indiana Law each year, special circumstances added value for student spectators. Scott Gilchrist, JD'92, argued for appellee Kyle Kondra. Ernest C. ("Ford") Barrett III argued for amicus U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, who was also represented by Shelese Woods, JD'98, assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. Presiding judges included Judge Edward W. Najam Jr. and alumnus Judge John G. Baker, JD'71. Najam served as a judge for the 2006 Sherman Minton Moot Court Competition. Professor Sophia Goodman incorporated the trial into classroom discussion, allowing students to see practical application of skills such as writing trial and appellate briefs and giving oral arguments. "I asked them to read both sides like a busy judge might," Goodman said. "It's really valuable for them to see it and know about the case beforehand. Then the judges ask a question, and students can think, 'How would I answer that?'" The case began as a class-action complaint against Charter One alleging that a document preparation fee charged was in violation of Indiana's laws. After a trial court denied Charter One's motion to dismiss, the corporation contended, claiming that state law is preempted by the National Bank Act. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency filed an amicus brief in support of Charter One. In May, the Indiana Supreme Court upheld the ruling, affirming the motion to dismiss Kondra's complaint. Marguerite Shreve received the Adjunct Faculty of the Year Award. Indiana Law introduces new courses for 2006-07 The following innovative courses are coming to Indiana Law: • Immigration Law Practicum with John Scanlan and adjunct clinical professor Dan Zeft, JD'93 • Intellectual Property Law Practicum with Robert Meitus, JD'00 • Constitutional Law of Sexuality with Dawn Johnsen • Virtual Worlds: Seminar in Commercial Law with Joshua Fairfield 4 Faculty panel discusses domestic spying issue Indiana Law faculty discussed the Bush administration's program of secret electronic surveillance. In the forum "Terror, Surveillance, and the Rule of Law: Perspectives on the Bush Administration's Secret Domestic Surveillance Activities," professors Pat Baude, Fred H. Cate, David Fidler, and Joseph Hoffmann provided an overview of the legal questions and controversies and their perspectives on the Bush administration's actions. The experts said that, although the National Security Agency anti-terrorism electronic surveillance program approved by President George W. Bush probably does not violate the Fourth Amendment, the program violates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and neither the Authorization to Use Military Force passed by Congress after Sept. 11 nor the president's inherent constitutional authority provides sufficient legal grounds to justify the statutory violation. Fuchs Lecture: 'Representing Kids Who Kill' Victor Streib, JD'70, Ellen and Ernest Fisher Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University's Pettit College of Law, presented the Fuchs Lecture in late January. His topic: "Representing Kids Who Kill." Streib is an influential voice in the discussion over capital punishment for juveniles. He has represented juvenile homicide clients before the U.S. Supreme Court and several state supreme courts. On March 1, 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court held the death penalty for juveniles to be unconstitutional, citing Streib's research eight times in their opinion. The Ralph F. Fuchs Lecture Program was established in 1993 to honor the memory of Ralph Fuchs, a distinguished and respected member of the Indiana Law faculty from 1958 until his death in 1985. ACS chapter earns recognition Indiana Law's chapter of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy received the 2006 Chapter of the Year Award at this year's national convention. Professor Dawn Johnsen, a well-known > Lewis Building Opens Indiana Law clinics move into new home by Lara A. Gose The Lewis Building, owned and developed by Indiana Law alumnus Elliot R. Lewis, JD'87, opened this summer after the final piece of the construction puzzle — an elevator — was installed, making the brand-new space ready for eager occupants. The arrival has Lewis and Law School committee members Assistant Dean Mark Hilycord, Law Library director Colleen Pauwels, and Associate Dean for Clinical Education Julia Lamber heaving a sigh of satisfaction. "The whole building is really remarkably on time," Pauwels, who acts as the Law School's architecture and building representative, says. Named for its developer, the Lewis Building houses three commercial properties on its ground floor. Indiana Law clinics and legal research and writing faculty offices occupy its second and third floors. Located on Indiana Avenue, next to The Gables and just across from the Law School, the new structure's Law School space is tailored specifically for its new tenants. "The new facility provides the kind of space that really enhances our growing clinical programs," Pauwels says. "Some of the clinics have been in Beck House — a nice, old house — but it hasn't offered the kind of space the clinic programs need," Lamber says. "The new building has two interview rooms and a mediation room, where students are able to meet with clients, and there is teaching space designed with clinical teaching in mind." Indiana Law's hotbed of clinics brings noteworthy faculty, including Conservation Center director William W. Weeks, JD'79, and new faculty Carwina Weng and Mark Need, JD/ MBA'92, to Bloomington. Clinical colleagues Amy Applegate; Earl Singleton, JD'86; and Ginnie Phero, clinics coordinator, along with the School's Legal Research and Writing faculty also call the Lewis Building home. 5 Conferences Where's the data? Workshop addresses environmental regulation Indiana Law hosted "Missing Information: Environmental Data Gaps in Conservation and Chemical Regulation" last spring. Workshop participants explored regulatory systems in relation to the need for scientific information and the disjunction between regulatory systems for the chemical and conservation areas of environmental law. "Our goal with this conference was to have a robust exchange in a workshop setting between lawyers and scientists, and between those who specialize in conservation and in chemical regulation, about the information problems that they confront," said Executive Associate Dean John Applegate. Participants worked to uncover the causes and extent of the respective data gap and to use insights from each area to improve regulation in both. Upcoming conference in comparative criminal procedure In October, Indiana Law will host a conference addressing the questions presented in the second edition of Criminal Procedure: A Worldwide Study. Edited by Professor Craig Bradley, a renowned expert in constitutional and criminal law and the death penalty, the book compares the criminal procedure systems of 13 countries. Authors will gather in Bloomington to confront related issues and discuss the topic with participants from China, Argentina, South Africa, England, Germany, and around the world. The first edition of the book, published by Carolina Academic Press, is used extensively by Justice Department and ABA lawyers working to set up new criminal procedure systems in the developing world, particularly in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Indiana Law hosts first Big Ten UnTENured Conference Untenured colleagues from the Big Ten conference gathered in Bloomington for the first Big Ten UnTENured Conference. The early-August meeting provided a forum for collaboration and growth in scholarly research and publication, balancing family and career, and teaching. Plans are already under way for the next conference, also to be held at Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington. Look for more conference details in your mailbox, on the Web, and in the Indiana Law Update e-newsletter soon! International professionals gather for globalization symposium On April 6, international pacemakers in the global legal industry delved into the ways i]lobalization is fundamentally changing the work of lawyers in the United States and abroad n a symposium titled "Globalization of the Legal Profession." Panelists explored topics such as law firm strategy, cultural norms and ethical lawyering, ,ind the lawmaking role of transnational lawyers. The program included presentation of scholarly papers and responses by symposium participants. Look for thoughts from this event in a 2007 edition of the Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies. 6 Indiana Law's ACS hosted Justice Boehm of the Indiana Supreme Court this spring. expert in constitutional law, sponsors the Indiana Law chapter of ACS and helps students bring events such as debates, forums, and visits by nationally renowned speakers to campus throughout the year. Some 11 percent of Indiana Law students claim membership in the ACS, one of the highest percentages in law schools nationwide. The honor recognizes this outstanding participation and the school's commitment to many diverse events. Presenters specifically acknowledged the fall 2005 symposium "War, Terrorism, and Torture: Limits on Presidential Power in the 21st Century," where experts such as Yale Law Dean Harold Koh; Deborah N. Pearlstein, director of the U.S. Law and Security Program of Human Rights First; and Louis Fisher, senior specialist in separation of powers of the Congressional Research Service, debated executive power. The ACS is one of the nation's leading progressive legal groups. Law students, lawyers, scholars, judges, policymakers, activists, and other concerned individuals work to ensure that the fundamental principles of human dignity, individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice occupy their rightful, central place in American law. Cook Group partners with Indiana Law to create IP internship The IU School of Law and Cook Group Inc. recently established the Cook Group Inc. Intellectual Property Internship, which will provide an exceptional opportunity each year for a student in the School of Law to acquire real-world skills and experience in the practice of intellectual property law. Cook Group, based in Bloomington, is a global leader in developing health-care devices. With manufacturing facilities and offices worldwide, it is at the forefront of medical research and product development in minimally invasive medical-device technology for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The internship participant will be employed in the legal department of Cook Group or one of its subsidiaries for a 10-week period during the summer following the first year of law school. During the internship, the participant will be exposed to a wide variety of intellectual property projects and will work directly with the attorneys of several nationally recognized intellectual property law firms. The internship participant will be selected by the general counsel of Cook Group during January of each year, beginning in 2006, from among those first-year students who have submitted applications. The Supreme Court: what's at stake? This spring, Indiana Law hosted a panel discussion to examine the nomination of Supreme Court Judge Samuel Alito and his confirmation's possible impacts on the rights and liberties of U.S. citizens. Speakers included Barbara Boiling, president of the NAACP-Indiana; Fran Quigley, executive director of the ACLU of Indiana; Paul Newman, JD'03, board member of the ACLU of Indiana; and Sheri M. Miller, director of the Indiana Coalition for a Fair and Independent Judiciary State. OLD NEW What you had was good ... until there was something better.

Beneath the surface of these water bodies, left by the great glaciers that flattened the Midwest, lie young ecosystems threatened by the introduction of foreign species. "We think about the Lakes as part of our world, but the glaciers formed them less than 10,000 years ago," Bill Weeks, center director and 1979 Indiana Law graduate, says. "One implication of a young ecosystem is a relatively limited biodiversity, which means vulnerability to these invasive species that can severely disrupt life cycles and cost millions in maintenance." The Great Lakes Protection Fund estimates that more than 21 billion gallons of foreign ballast water are discharged in U.S. ports every year. The infamous zebra mussel is just one of many species scientists believe hitched a ride into the Great Lakes via transoceanic ships. The fund's Web site notes one Oregon study, which identified 367 species released from Japanese ships in only four hours. Supported by a grant from the GLPF, legal interns from the Law School's Conservation Law Clinic waded through the problem, conducting extensive research on private-sector legal remedies to problematic shipping operations. The team studied everything from choice of law to the insurance implications of a problematic, but potentially effective solution: civil liability for the cost once a species is introduced. Current laws require that ships entering the Great Lakes flush their ballast tanks 200 miles from U.S. waters, but Weeks says that measure seems > "One implication of a young ecosystem is a relatively limited biodiversity, which means vulnerability to these invasive species that can severely disrupt life cycles and cost millions in maintenance." CONSERVATION CELEBRATION Sept. 29 marks the grand opening of the Conservation Law Center, a not-for-profit organization established as an advocate for natural resource conservation that works intimately with Indiana Law's Conservation Law Clinic. The center's official grand opening celebrates a newly built space across Indiana Avenue. The Lewis Building area was designed with the clinic's specific needs in mind. "We're really excited about it," Bill Weeks, JD'79, center director, says. "Right now, we're kind of makeshift. The move will make it easier to continue to be successful." Center attorneys and clinic students collaborate to resolve organization and incorporation problems, draft model legislation, and advocate for conservation of wildlife, ecological systems, and protected areas for clients. The group is fervent about its causes, and Weeks says that so far, clients have been impressed. "It's really exciting to be able to take students from the academic realm to a professional environment and to see them excel," he says. This semester, legal interns poured energy into legal matters and research for five different not-for-profit entities. Topics ranged from land conservation in south-central Indiana and the eastern United States to statewide land trusts and national and regional conservation activities. Visit www.law.indiana.edu/alumni for details about the grand opening celebration, to be held in conjunction with Alumni Weekend 2006. 8 ineffective. Many ships carry species in the sludge and residual water even after ballast has been discharged. The liability suggests stronger responsibility on the part of the shipping industry. "Of course, there will be many questions moving forward with the GLPP, but from a clinical perspective, this has been an ideal situation for the students," Weeks says. "It's a complex legal question with a plausible solution that the students evaluated through careful research. The answers they came up with will have the chance to really make a difference." "I came to law school to be an environmental lawyer," recent graduate and summer CLC research fellow Denise Walker says. "The coursework gave me a great foundation, but working with the clinic has really reinforced my desire to be an environmental advocate." The clinic, added to the curriculum in spring 2006, fills the final gap in Indiana Law's acclaimed programs in environmental law and in collaboration with IU School for Public and Environmental Affairs. The adjunct professor's own experiences in private practice and as vice president, chief operating officer, and executive vice president of the Nature Conservancy in Washington, D.C., serve as an additional resource in practical study. "Every month we exist, we continue an invaluable learning process," he says. "The issues are current, relevant legal problems at the forefront of the field. Real problems need real answers, and when clients give us that heavy responsibility, they're owed good representation." CLINICAL PROGRAM EXPANDS In the last year, Indiana Law's clinical programs grew exponentially. With a total of 16 innovative courses, projects, and programs, we arc competetive with some of the nation's top clinical programs. The clinics offer second- and third-year students the guidance of highly regarded professors and access to programs such as the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic that complement the Law School's top-tier reputation. In addition to the Conservation Law Clinic and the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic, Indiana Law introduced a Family and Children Mediation Clinic and an Elder Law Clinic to join its existing opportunities. New faculty member Carwina Weng adds her expertise in disability and domestic violence issues to the clinical program this fall. Students benefit from important work on actual cases, supervised by highly influential and experienced faculty, practicing lawyers, and judges in new facilities. Connection with the community and hands-on practice are just two of these programs' invaluable rewards. "Most classes teach the law, but very little about being a lawyer," Matthew Melick, a second-year Conservation Law Clinic student, says. "The clinic gave me a chance to communicate complex legal material to the client. During the spring semester, I drafted numerous client memos, conducted two client interviews, and gave two final client presentations." RICHARD LAZARUS TO DELIVER SPECIAL PUBLIC LECTURE by Lara A. Gose Richard Lazarus serves as the featured speaker at the grand opening celebration for the Conservation Law Center during Alumni Weekend 2006 on Sept. 29. Some 23 years later, environmental law expert Richard Lazarus still remembers the question he posed to his first law students at Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington: What is environmental about environmental law? More complex than it may first seem, that question continues to inform Lazarus's teaching and scholarship, weaving a constant thread through a career that began at Indiana Law and led to his current position as professor of law at Georgetown. Lazarus cites his interaction with students and colleagues in Ill's School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Law School during his term as a faculty member at Indiana Law as the foundation for his book, The Making of Environmental Law (University of Chicago Press, 2004). Where is environmental law headed? Lazarus indicated two areas that need immediate attention from policymakers and academics. His first concern has an international focus. "Because of technological innovation and the related expansion of our global economy, domestic environmental laws increasingly lack the scope necessary to address cross-boundary and global environmental problems that require immediate and longer-term sustained redress," he says. In his opinion, domestic environmental policy needs an update, too. "In particular, we need laws that focus on the environmental impacts of the delivery of services, the nation's Wal-Marts, Kinko's, and McDonald's, and not just the environmental impact of the production of goods by industrial facilities." Lazarus hopes that the Conservation Law Clinic at Indiana Law will provide students and faculty the opportunity to participate in the future of environmental law. He says the work of the clinic allows the Law School to continue meeting its teaching and public-service objectives while preparing students to claim their place among colleagues in striving for international and domestic policy goals. 9 faculty news Kevin Brown Brown featured in ABA Journal A presentation by Professor Kevin Brown during the American Bar Association's midyear meeting was featured in the April 2006 ABA Journal. The article, titled "Minority Opinion," frequently notes studies and comparisons the Indiana Law professor used to bring to light modern injustices. The presentation was part of a panel titled "From Dred Scott to Rosa Parks and Hurricane Katrina: Where Do We Go From Here?," which examined constitutional law through the eyes of black America using historical and modern landmarks. "Although the Constitution is traditionally viewed as a protector of individual rights and a symbol of equality and justice, it is perceived differently by those whose families and forebears experienced it as an instrument of repression," Brown said in the article. He used National Center for Education Statistics figures to support what he termed the de facto segregation of U.S. public schools. The NCES studies show that white students attend mostly white schools while black students attend mostly black schools. "The reality is that at this time we simply do not have the power to support integration," he said. Brown and fellow speakers — Craig B. Futterman, law professor at University of Chicago, and Phillip C. Aka, a political science professor at Chicago State University — hope that "recognizing and understanding" these causes can influence the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws and encourage commitment to affirmative action. Johnsen hailed as national voice An article in the March 2006 issue of Indianapolis Monthly magazine featured Indiana Law Professor Dawn Johnsen as someone to know. In "Choosing Her Battles," author Christine Speer writes, "She has been a civil rights lawyer, a legal adviser to the White House, and, through it all, an eloquent crusader for reproductive rights. Dawn Johnsen Now a popular law professor in mostly pro-life Indiana, Dawn Johnsen is reemerging as a national voice in the abortion debate. Haven't heard of her? You will." The piece chronicled Johnsen's rise to the national scene in defense of reproductive rights and the years she spent as a "star" in some of the hottest legal jobs in Washington, D.C. — from White House counsel on women's issues and legal director at the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, to assistant attorney general under Janet Reno in the Office of Legal Counsel. In the article, Reno names Johnsen an "incredible legal talent," and "peers have [her] pegged as a future federal judge or U.S. attorney general." Henderson's research on fire Indiana Law's William Henderson has the 12th-most downloads per paper among all Social Science Research Network (SSRN) law authors nationwide who have published at least three new papers within the past year. Henderson boasts an impressive 233 downloads per paper. The distinction is no surprise. Henderson is increasingly recognized as a leading authority on the empirical study of law firms and the legal profession — one of the hottest current legal topics. The up-and-coming professor is one of six founding editors of the Empirical Studies Legal Blog, the newest hub for legal and academic discourse on empirical legal studies. An active IU Law & Society Association member, Henderson spearheaded Indiana Law's internationally attended Globalization of the Legal Profession Symposium and is currently drafting a joint agreement with the American Bar Foundation to continue studies on the legal profession. His prominent research includes an in-depth examination of the LSAT and law school exams, published in the Texas Law Review. He also focuses on the areas of demography and public school systems, the law firm as a business, and corporate regulation. William Henderson 10 Welcome to new faculty member Carwina Weng Carwina Weng is the most recent addition to the Indiana Law faculty. She joins the Community Legal Clinic, where she will focus on disability and domestic violence issues, this fall. Weng comes from Boston College, where she served as a clinical professor at the Legal Assistance Bureau in Waltham. She has worked as a staff attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services since 1999, where she worked with domestic violence programs at six area hospitals, supervised a divorce work group, and represented victims of domestic violence in abuse prevention and family law litigation. She received her BA from Yale University and her JD from New York University. She served as an assistant professor at the Florida Coastal School of Law from 1996 to 1999, where she taught contracts, civil procedure, and legal research and writing and served as co-director of the McCalla Children and Family Advocacy Center. She also worked as a staff attorney in the Legal Aid Society Community Law Offices in New York City from for six years, and served as chair of the board of directors of the New York Asian Women's Center from 1993 to 1996. Weng has received the Legal Aid Society Award for pro bono services, as well as a coveted Skadden Public Interest Fellowship. She is a member of the Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts and the Association of Legal Writing Directors. New faculty add expertise to curriculum New faculty members Donna Nagy, C. Ben Dutton Professor of Business Law; Mark E. Need, clinical associate professor of law and director of the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic; and Carwina Weng, clinical associate professor, join the Indiana Law community this semester. A warm welcome also to Anthony Infanti, visiting professor of law from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Mehrotra granted two prestigious fellowships Professor Ajay Mehrotra was doubly honored with residency as a visiting scholar and a fellowship grant, respectively, by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The AAAS Visiting Scholars Program seeks out scholars with pacesetting potential. Mehrotra's proposal was one of 12 selected from a national applicant pool for fall 2006. While in residence, he will focus on a book project supported by the NEH, the AAAS, and the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation titled Sharing the Burden: Law, Politics, and the Making of the Modern American Fiscal State. The endeavor was named an NEH "We the People" project, a special designation for proposals poised to advance the study, teaching, and understanding of American history and culture. Mehrotra will investigate how and why the U.S. system of public finance was transformed at the turn of the 20th century when a progressive income-tax regime eclipsed the status quo of indirect national taxes. Amy Applegate Applegate featured in Doxpop Docket The May edition of the Doxpop Docket found Indiana Law Professor Amy Applegate on its cover. Doxpop is a public service allowing people to access Indiana court records. Applegate, who serves as the director of the Family and Children Mediation Clinic, spoke about the clinic and the mediation process. "Mediation is a constructive process," she said. "It's helping people who view themselves as adversaries come up with good solutions for them and their families." Charles Geyh Geyh serves on distinguished panel: 'A Conversation with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor' Professor Charles Geyh, author of When Courts and Congress Collide, participated in "A Conversation with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor" at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Recorded for CourtTV's "In Pursuit of Justice" public affairs campaign, the timely panel, titled "A Conversation on Judicial Independence," was hosted by Catherine Crier and featured a candid conversation with former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Crier also moderated Geyh's discussion with fellow experts on U.S. courts: Judge William F. Sessions, former FBI director; Bill Bradley, former U.S. senator; Richard Riley, former secretary of education; and Leroy Rountree Hassell Sr., chief justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia. More than 250 students, professors, lawyers, professionals, and members of the media attended to hear members of the panel reflect on tensions between the Congress and the judiciary that escalated in recent years to threats to reduce the judiciary's budget, limit its jurisdiction, and impeach judges on the basis of decisions. In addition to discussing threats, the panel also offered solutions to the current conflicts between the three branches of government and criticized the decline of civic education in U.S. schools. The American Bar Association and the Constitution Project joined CourtTVto sponsor the event, which is scheduled to air on CourtTV this fall. 11 John Applegate Fred H.

The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies will publish Welling's award-winning note in Volume 13, Issue 2. Thai students share a taste of their New Year with Indiana Law About 50 community members gathered on the Law School's third floor on April 13 for a vibrant celebration of the Thai New Year. Guests of the Songkran Festival were treated to a traditional kickboxing demonstration and authentic Thai music. Some were even pulled onto the dance floor to learn a traditional Thai dance. Posters and displays detailing Thai traditions, replete with photos, figurines, traditional party favors, and history about customs, were arranged around the room. Pictures and stories about efforts to overcome tsunami damage covered one board, showing the revitalization of the Thai coast. Bubble tea and a huge spread of traditional Thai dishes welcomed celebrants, who talked, laughed, and perused the displays as they ate. Sunshine poured through the faculty lounge windows on the unusual 80-degree April day, adding to anticipation of the real treat — a traditional Songkran water war on the patio of the school. Armed with everything from super-duper power-shooter water guns to tiny dime-store versions and cupfuls of water, partygoers hit the courtyard. A rowdy, wet fight ensued. The "splashing of water" is a symbolic ritual, showing a sense of renewal and cleansing in honor of a new year. Sunshine poured through the faculty lounge windows on the unusual 80-degree April day, adding to anticipation of the real treat — a traditional Songkran water war on the patio of the School. The Songkran Festival is just one of many events hosted by our LLM, SJD, and MCL students, who hail from at least 19 countries around the world. 14 Koenig awarded prestigious public interest fellowship Laura Koenig, a third-year student, is one of four IU graduate students to receive a $17,500 John H. Edwards Fellowship. Each year, the fellowship is awarded to outstanding young men and women who might otherwise find it impossible to continue with their education. Koenig, who plans to pursue a career in public interest, says the fellowship award makes that dream financially possible. "As most students do, I had to take out a lot of loans to go to law school. This fellowship will allow me to go into criminal prosecution or defense and eventually work on human rights issues," she said. "I will have more freedom to pursue my humanitarian goals with fewer of the stumbling blocks that other students might encounter." The award, which is one of the most prestigious awarded by Indiana University, is given to select students with superior scholastic ability and intellectual capacity and good citizenship and character, including attitude toward Indiana University and community service as demonstrated by actual service. "Laura is that first-rate law student who came here with idealistic notions of what she would do with her law training and skills, and she has been unwavering in her goals," said Dean Lauren Robel, JD'83. "She is well-regarded by her faculty as a creative thinker, researcher, and future doer in public interest advocacy. She clearly has a fierce and longstanding determination to meet the goals she has defined for herself. There is no one that I can remember at the Law School that fits the criteria of this fellowship as well as Laura does. She is truly remarkable." Environmental Law Society plants carbon sequestration forest Members of the Environmental Law Society teamed up with students from lU's School of Public and Environmental Affairs to plant 700 seedlings this April. The ensuing forest will grow up just north of Bloomington as part of a carbon sequestration effort. Tim Krzywicki, a rising second-year student, sows his contribution to the forest project. The Indiana Law team, led by ELS director Denise Walker, JD'06, included second-year students Steven Nagy and Tim Krzywicki and first-year students Mindy Boehr, Joel Watkins, Liza C. Moore, and Angela King. "It was a great day for planting," Walker said. "There were a total of 41 volunteers. We had a great time and made some new friends, too." "In essence, forests and other highly productive ecosystems can become biological scrubbers by removing (sequestering) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere." Carbon sequestration is one means scholars and scientists propose for gaining climate control. "In essence, forests and other highly productive ecosystems can become biological scrubbers by removing (sequestering) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere," as stated by a recent report prepared for the Pew Center for Global Change by SPEA Professor Kenneth Richards and Robert N. Stavins, who is the Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government, chairman of the Environment and Natural Resources Faculty Group, and director of the Environmental Economics Program at Harvard University. Walker and a representative from the SPEA Environmental Management Society presented the project during "35 Years of EPA," an event honoring the agency and William Ruckelshaus at the Wells-Metz Theatre in Bloomington on April 19. She is one of three ELS members who currently sit on the National Association of Environmental Law Societies board. The ELS is a student group devoted to making Indiana Law more environmentally conscious. Members attend and have twice hosted the NAELS National Conference. The group also hosts guest speakers and the annual "Evening at the Oliver Winery" and works closely with the newly formed Conservation Law Clinic to promote and support legal skill development and campus and community environmental awareness. Student awarded fellowships in international intelligence, foreign language Recent graduate Katie Jay was awarded a David L. Boren Graduate Fellowship in international intelligence from the National Security Education Program. In April 2006, Jay left for Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she is studying international moneylaundering and the link to terrorist financing through the drug industry. "Because Argentina and Paraguay have soft borders, people are able to cross the borders without documentation," the 29-year-old Texas native explained. Jay said her year in Brazil will be especially interesting because of alleged moneylaundering within the Brazilian president's staff. Her yearlong Boren Fellowship supports students pursuing the study of languages, cultures, and world regions that are critical to U.S. national security but are less frequently studied by U.S. graduate students, such as areas of the world other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Jay has also received a Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship, which enables U.S. graduate students to add an important international and language component to their education through specialization in area study, language study, or increased language proficiency. Jay is studying Portuguese this year to prepare for her upcoming research in Brazil. After the fellowship ends, Jay says she plans to pursue a career in international banking and finance in both the public and private sectors. > 15 Legal aid harbors new meaning for student volunteers Four Indiana Law students spent their spring break putting legal knowledge to work for Hurricane Katrina victims in Gulfport, Miss. First-year students Jen Nagourney, Erin Hittinger, and Ken Bach and third-year student Terry Record worked at the Mississippi Center for Justice to educate and enable residents to overcome legal messes left in the storm's wake. The trip was part of a larger effort organized by the Student Hurricane Network, a national student-led association dedicated to assisting communities affected by Katrina and Rita. Projects ranged from monitoring eviction notices at courthouses and authoring FEMA claims appeals to compiling neighborhood histories that could qualify areas for federal preservation assistance. The skills honed at Indiana Law were about more than legal know-how. The listening, problem analysis, and explaining solutions clearly and concisely that students do daily in Bloomington proved invaluable. Nagourney and fellow travelers say they experienced unbridled gratitude from Gulfport residents — who even stopped team members on the street to say their prayers had been answered. The students' contributions were featured in an article titled "Legal Aides," which appeared in the SunHerald, a south Mississippi newspaper. "We gained so much insight into the legal system and met so many lawyers, historians, and scholars from all over the country who are working to help survivors through grants and other funding," Nagourney said. "Law really can be a positive force. We saw it in action." Students clobber faculty in annual match-up In mid-April, faculty and staff members sauntered bravely onto the Assembly Hall court outfitted with protective eyewear and taped up with knee braces and arm bands. They met their student foes in one Law School competition where pride trumps percentage points. Four student teams shelled out the dough during this spring's Women's Law Caucus benefit auction to compete in the round-robin tournament. Winners battled the ever-youthful faculty, staff, and librarians in a 40-minute, full-court game, followed by dinner and drinks at nearby hangout Nick's. Despite valiant efforts by faculty and staff team members Luis Fuentes-Rowher (event organizer), Kevin Brown, Joe Hoffmann, Sarah Hughes, Ajay Mehrotra, Debbie O'Leary, Earl Singleton, Jeff Stake, Bill Weeks, and Dick Vaughn, students won handily by more than 30 points. Coaches Jim Barnes and Dan Conkle, clipboards under arm, donned Bob Knight-style red ID sweaters, but couldn't seem to hatch the kind of strategy that forged last year's faculty championship. Families of players on both sides, tournament participants, and community members whooped it up in the stadium stands, bringing gaggles of children and cheering voices. But a losing fate was soon obvious. Game commentator Professor John Scanlan expressed doubt only seven minutes into play. "The students are dominating the field!" he shouted. Though a final score of 62-29 lowered the heads of veteran faculty players, proceeds left two certain winners at the end of this rivalry: WLC charities the Middle Way House, a local domestic violence shelter, and the Indiana Protective Order Project, both helped by high bids for this hot-ticket package. Students charge the court. The faculty-staff team catches up on breath and stamina during a break in the game.

The campus was beautiful, and having come from an urban setting, I felt that I would get a different perspective on life. Favorite memories of IU I fondly remember the dean of the Honors Division, who interviewed me about my campus life. I related to him that although the campus was beautiful, I was lonely, as there were only about five Hispanics on campus. He offered to bring some students to view the campus and explain financial aid options. His department helped coordinate the first Latino weekend. The people that participated were from the Spanish Department, the Honors Division, or the Groups program, plus all of my new friends. It was wonderful to see that they really cared and listened to my dreams. Another favorite memory is when my entire family drove to Bloomington to see me receive my law degree. The close friends that I made at IU are a blessing. Advice to undergraduates Don't be afraid to try to experience new adventures, such as studying abroad. Make friends outside of your own safe circle. The friends that you make during your undergraduate years will stay with you forever. Participate in as many extracurricular activities as you can. Give back to your community in whatever way that you can. Mentor someone. Why the IU Alumni Association is important to me It is a terrific method of staying in touch with the university. The Alumni Association has a lot to offer. It's inclusive. Becoming a life member was the best thing I did, and it was so reasonable. I have become a board member for the IU School of Law-Bloomington and that has also kept me in touch. It is also beneficial to read the Indiana Alumni Magazine and find out what the other departments are offering.

With a vision for Indiana Law clearly articulated in the strategic plan, we announce our Campaign for Indiana Law. The $30 million campaign will fund student scholarships, faculty support, and our centers and clinics; allow continued improvements in infrastructure; and enhance career development. Our top priority: increased scholarships for students. When we increase our scholarship resources, we can continue to attract students with the strongest credentials. Realizing this goal directly affects the school's visibility as a national leader among law schools. Attracting accomplished, intellectually engaged matriculants ensures continued generations of accomplished alumni, whose distinctions speak volumes about the quality of legal education and improve the value of an Indiana Law degree for all who hold it. Our goals are ambitious, but challenges inspire growth. The result? A highly visible and influential law school whose faculty, students, and graduates advance knowledge, justice, and the public good in the state, in the nation, and around the world. Why we give ... Achieving our vision is impossible without the generosity of Indiana Law's supporters. Propelled by exciting strategic initiatives and important challenges, our alumni and friends are making a commitment to the Law School's future. Why give to Indiana Law? Alumni cite the collegial community, up-and-coming academic programs, a commitment to the future of the legal profession, and — simply — gratitude. A shared bond Angela Karras Neboyskey, JD'00 is a class agent, law alumni board member, and founding member of the Indiana Law Society of Chicago. "You just take the initiative to say 'I make a commitment' and continue developing a relationship because Indiana got you where you wanted to go," she says. "We all have this one common bond. We were once part of that great university." Nuturing a top-flight clinical education The Balfour Foundation, named for the late Lloyd G. Balfour, Class of 1907, established a four-year, $400,000 grant to the Law School in support of the Family & Child Mediation Clinic, Community Legal Clinic, and minority student scholarships. Indiana Law's clinics and centers are growing exponentially with additions such as the Entrepreneurship and Conservation Law clinics and the remarkable Center for Constitutional Democracy in Plural Societies. 18 Gene R. Shreve Rewarding 'idealism and social commitment' "I wanted to support students who want to serve the public interest by pursuing a legal career outside the law firm partner track. Their idealism and social commitment should be rewarded," says Gene R. Shreve, Richard S. Melvin Professor of Law, who recently announced a $1 million gift. Though not an alumnus, Shreve typifies the spirit of Indiana Law — people coming together for a greater good. Scholarships "I'd always thought 'This is a state-supported institution.' Then I learned how much the Law School has to raise on its own," says George W. Gossman,JD'67. Less than 20 percent of Indiana Law's net budget is derived from state funds. To help, Gossman donated the first Law School scholarship eligible for a match through IU's Matching the Promise program. Scholarships like his open the door for talented students and competitive admissions. For the next generation For Gary Davis, JD'82, giving back to the community is about action. "It's part of giving back to the community and recognizing Dean Rebel's strategic initiatives to work with students, and minorities particularly, to help them find jobs that may not always be traditional." Davis is an integral member of the Black Law Student Association Alumni Advisory Board and the law alumni board. Gratitude As a law student, Bob Lattas's job search was helped tremendously by the efforts of the Law School alumni office, the administration, key alumni, and the Career Services Office. "Without their help," Lattas says, "it would have been very difficult for me to obtain my bearings to succeed in the practice of law. They truly cared about seeing me succeed — even at times when I had real doubts — and for that I will always be grateful." In gratitude, the 2001 alumnus began making annual donations shortly after graduation. Now, he is the youngest member of the Partners in Excellence giving society and has made a substantial five-year pledge to the school. When we increase our scholarship resources, we can continue to attract students with the strongest credentials.

Gose, Debbie O'Leary, and Sarah Preuschi A New Zealand sunset washes over still waters. A young woman in Thailand influences political reform. In London, a professor tests his boundaries. An Indian slave laborer finds freedom as an entrepreneur. A Romanian boy, once nearly dying of AIDS, flourishes. They all share a common link: an Indiana Law connection. Bloomington's city limits seem to stretch across all latitudes and longitudes as Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington professors, alumni, and students engage in international debate and influence legal change. Last spring's conference on globalization, an impressive list of alumni working overseas, a distinguished program in international law, and extensive study abroad options are just a few examples of the school's reach. Read on to discover where and how Indiana Law is shaping and embracing the international landscape. What's not insurmountable About one-third of the world's poor live in India, and more than 10 million of these poor men, women, and children are trapped by bonded slavery. It's a practice abolished more than 30 years ago by the Indian government but sustained by destitution, caste-based prejudices, and corruption. In 2003, Jeff Pankratz, JD'91, moved with his family to southern India as part of the International Justice Mission's inaugural efforts. His charge: to document human-rights violations, secure the release of slaves, ensure the prosecution of predatory lenders, and, most important, restore independence and stability to laborers. "I've always had an interest in international work," he says. "My work in India began as research on micro-financing for former debt slaves in India. How could we use it to foster the rehabilitation of slaves?" For more than five years, he's poured pro bono research and volunteer efforts into freeing India's bonded workers like Madesh, a young father whose family was trapped by debt in the grueling job of brick-making. With support from the International Justice Mission, Madesh transformed from victim to entrepreneur, and his children — once enslaved — were reborn as schoolchildren. This outcome is repeated for hundreds of others touched by IJM's initiatives. "The tenacity and determination of my Indian counterparts really inspired me to respect even more deeply the work that they do," Pankratz says. "Seeing girls as young as 12 as victims of sex-trafficking and families of bonded laborers toiling in futility certainly gives you a sense of passion and empathy for dealing with these problems." Pankratz's official work is with Venable LLC in Washington, D.C., as counsel for banks and other investors interested in community development, a cause he's been vested in since his law school days. Now he's established Justice Ventures International, a nonprofit set to mobilize reform and provide research and professional resources in Asia, primarily India and China. Incorporated just this spring, JVI mobilizes and delivers information, professional services, financial resources, and research to strengthen and support human rights, legal aid, and community development organizations in assisting those at risk of or suffering from oppression and abuse. The project is already growing. "As I continued to connect with some of these volunteers, we began to brainstorm about these issues," Pankratz says. "It's a little bit hard to wrap your arms around them, but by partnering with community-based leaders, these problems are not insurmountable — we can make a difference." 21 Big lessons in Liaoning In a city of 7.2 million people, it's easy to feel a little small. "Stepping off the plane at the Shenyang airport, I wasn't sure what to expect or even how to communicate, since I couldn't speak a word of Chinese," Gaston Fernandez, JD'05, says. Those first awkward steps have blossomed into big opportunities. Now in his second year as a professor at Liaoning University in Shenyang, China, the Indiana Law graduate finds himself a silver award winner of the Liaoning Provincial Friendship Award, a top honor given to overseas experts for contributions to Chinese society, economy, technology, and education. "While I've worked hard to teach my students, I've been lucky to have the chance to learn from them as well," he says. "I find myself thinking back on how my professors in law school taught the same concepts, trying to strike the right balance and draw on the Socratic Method." The international law interests he pursued as a student now take the tangible form of meetings with Chinese lawyers and government officials, studying Chinese foreign investment and real-estate law, lesson plans for his 500 students, and the 1,300 Chinese characters he's slowly mastered. "I find myself thinking back on how my professors in law school taught the same concepts, trying to strike the right balance and draw on the Socratic Method." Fernandez is also working to bolster ties between his old and new homes. He hopes to develop a friendship between Indiana Law and Liaoning University and build valuable business and foreign investment relationships. Indiana companies Gibbs Die Casting and Cummins Engines already have operations in Liaoning, and this spring, a delegation from the Indiana Economic Development Corp. visited to discuss furthered cooperation in economic and diplomatic contexts. He says those ties can be mutually profitable. "I've been happy to be a part of these increased contacts between Indiana and Liaoning and am optimistic that future cooperation will benefit in both places." International facilitator When Antje Petersen, JD'92, says she sees the legal professional in today's world community as a facilitator, the translation to her own life path is clear. By definition, a facilitator is a launch pad, a catalyst. "I've always seen my work this way since, by definition, I have always been a facilitator for my clients, language-wise, culture-wise," she says. "When I look at a person's CV, I look for 'non-cookie-cutter experiences.'" Petersen, now vice president and general counsel of Biomet Europe Group in Dordrecht, Holland, used her out-of-the-ordinary international background; degrees in German, English, and Scandinavian studies and a PhD in humanities from Stanford as a launch pad to Indiana Law. Her degree found her at Ice Miller in Indianapolis, where she became partner in the international law group. "When I think of Indiana, it is always fondly and with gratitude. I received a terrific education that laid a good foundation for learning the practical side," she says. It was here she developed a commitment to international law anc gained experience through an internship with Kirkland & Ellis in commercial litigation and contract preparation. Her success is attributable to taking her own advice: "Use opportunities well — if you want to have an international career, take advantage of international ALUMNI by Sarah Preuschl 22 "These children will outlive us because of this work," Jeff Richardson, JD'77, says of children touched by the AIDS pandemic, who benefit from his and his colleague's work around the world. opportunities, even if they don't fit perfectly into the picture you have of your future." Her practice at Ice Miller was difficult to leave, but her current position was one international opportunity she couldn't turn down. She'd worked on a joint-venture project as Biomet's outside counsel when the offer came. "My instinct told me to go, and I did," she says. "I am German. I never thought that with what I'm doing I would end up back home." Since 2002, she's lived in Germany while working for Biomet, a leader in the design and manufacture of orthopedic implants and joint and trauma therapy products. Petersen heads the European division and works closely with the president and chief financial officer on all material matters. In a typical week, she's traveling Europe, visiting with one of her subsidiaries, attending strategic meetings for group-wide projects, or attending court hearings. High-powered, fast-paced jobs often leave personal fulfillment out of the picture, but Petersen says she enjoys her work "tremendously." "Culturally, everything that I represent comes together in this job," Petersen says. "I love the problem-solving aspects of my work and being tied closely into the business decisions. I love interacting with our business people and learning about and understanding their areas of responsibility. I enjoy that there is so much to do, so many things that can still be 'ordered,' structures improved, and innovations introduced. The work never ends, but in a good way." Sowing hope from whole cloth Jeff Richardson, JD 77, has been executive director of the Abbott Fund's Step Forward for Children program — an initiative committed to touching the lives of orphans and vulnerable children affected by the AIDS pandemic — since the program's inception in late 1999. It was then that he accepted an important challenge from Abbott Laboratories to craft a proactive response to the disease. "Abbott's request was to create an AIDS program in the developing world," Richardson says. "The opportunity to create something from 'whole cloth' on one of the critical issues of our time ... was something I was thrilled to do. It was a chance of a lifetime." Six years after his initial meeting with Abbott executives, that cloth is a tapestry of lives touched. People are numbed by AIDS statistics, but Richardson knows that hope can be a tangible thing. He's been working on AIDS issues since 1983 as a volunteer and health professional in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, including a stint as the executive director of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, the United States' largest AIDS service, education, and advocacy organization. Step Forward's goal of advocacy for the disease's youngest victims includes an inspirational partnership with the Baylor College of Medicine. Together, the two organizations have created five operational pediatric outpatient clinics, with three more under way in Africa and Asia. The newest clinics are modeled from the first successful clinic — one that has transformed the lives of hundreds of children in Romania since 2001. "It's breathtaking. So many of these kids were on their deathbeds," says Richardson. "I saw them wasting, dying with no hope of surviving more than a few months. Now they're laughing, glowing, talking about becoming doctors, lawyers, truck drivers, just like anyone else." By the end of 2006, some 10,000 children will be receiving clinical treatment. In addition to the orphans and vulnerable children program, Richardson also oversees the Tanzania Care Program, an initiative to help modernize the health-care infrastructure of Tanzania. By December 2006, he will have helped Abbott invest some $100 million in their Abbott Global AIDS Care programs. As a new era of commitment begins for the company and the fund, Richardson says he continues to be thankful for his law background and his Bloomington roots (he earned his BA and MPA here, too). "I learned in law school to be wary of easy answers," he says. "There's nothing in the AIDS world that's not complicated. It's political, varied, and often ambiguous. It's so important to see and understand — as best as one can — both the rational and emotional issues being advanced. I'm thankful that law school gave me that ability." CONNECTIONS 23 Our Internationa Alumni Q & A with Assistant Dean Lesley Davis More than 70 LLM students from 20 countries matriculated in 2005. That's a huge increase over the number of students only 10 years ago. A stellar international reputation, particularly in the areas of international law, business and commercial law, intellectual property, and biotechnology law continues to attract students from Costa Rica and Korea, from Ukraine and Uzbekistan. They fall in love with our peaceful, but bustling Bloomington setting. While here, these bright students foster connections that serve as fodder for invaluable friendships. These connections, and an important scholarship program, continue to put the Law School's 100-year-old LLM tradition on the map. Professor Joseph Hoffmann instructs a group of students from Assumption University of Thailand. The students visited campus through a trip organized by Poom Moolsilpa, an Assumption professor and 1999 SJD graduate. For the inside scoop on the important role international alumni play in our community, we sat down with Lesley Daw's, assistant dean of international programs. What are our international graduates doing now? We're lucky. We're educating people who return to universities, companies, and firms in countries that are important to Indiana Law. About two-thirds of our graduate students are already employed when they arrive on campus, and they either return to the same job — usually with a promotion, thanks to their added education — or they apply for a better job, based on their new qualifications. A few students stay in the United States to work with firms as associates or foreign legal consultants. Still others work in a third country for an international firm. How connected are these successful graduates? In the last decade, the number of graduate students multiplied. Now, these alumni seem to have built an even greater connection with each other and with the school than earlier graduates. Even so, we boast some very active alumni from many years ago. Why is that connection so critical to the success of the Law School? They are our best advocates. Our alumni play a very active role in educating prospective students in their countries about Indiana Law. Some of our best students have letters of recommendation in their files from our most successful alumni. In this way, our alumni help increase the diversity — both in terms of nationality and educational/professional background — of our law school. What influence do these connections have on Indiana Law's learning community? Our really active alumni like Poom Moolsilpa, SJD'99, Kwang-Rok Kim, SJD'99, Byoung-Youn Kim, SJD'00, Bruce Liao, SJD'03, and many, many others have a huge impact on our learning community. For starters, they always roll out red carpet when our faculty or staff visit their countries. They've developed cooperative programs that bring prospective students to our campus. A group of students from Assumption University in Thailand, where Poom directs the English-language LLM program, visits annually to take courses and explore American law. Kwang-Rok Kim's law students from Pukyong National University will also visit and experience classes this spring. Other alumni return as visiting scholars and have the chance to work again with their favorite professors and mentors. So, it's a win-win situation? For these and other alumni, connections with us and a willingness to capitalize on them make them even more valuable to their universities and employers. Their scholarship reflects our deep commitment to academic excellence, and their impressions of potential LLM students help bring fresh voices to Indiana Law as new LLM students. Exchanging expert Traveling means learning in this global community by Lara A. Gose Traveling in Korea by car with an Indiana Law alumnus and his family, Professor Emeritus William Hicks found himself under some intense scrutiny — from the youngest son, who gestured and furtively whispered to his mother about the stranger's obviously different blue eyes and blond hair. The memory brings a smile to Hicks's face, yet he is quick to point out that it's the similarities, not the differences, between students from the United States and abroad that stand out to him. "Travel is so much easier these days," he notes. "The world is not just what you see in the mirror or around you." In fact, as the world has grown smaller, opportunities for exchange of faculty, students, and ideas have blossomed at Indiana Law. Indiana Law professors dot the globe each year, traveling to China, England, India, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Thailand, and many other countries as scholars, experts, advocates, and speakers. Connecting as partners During a recent trip to Korea, Hicks, a specialist in securities law, met with academics, practicing lawyers, and securities regulators, including senior staff of the Korean Stock Exchange and many Indiana Law alumni. He connected culturally and professionally as he spent time living and talking with his hosts, and he learned firsthand how their experiences in Bloomington and at Indiana Law influence their lives, even years after graduation. He took their successes to the table when he visited Ewha Women's University, Hanyang University, and Pusan University to recruit new members of Indiana Law's community. "It means a lot for the Law School to know that we have people there who are happy with their experiences," Hicks says. Lisa Farnsworth visits with a student from China University of Politics and Law during a trip overseas. In May, Professor Ken Dau-Schmidt spoke twice on the subject of American labor law and met with students, faculty, and staff at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. He's smoothing the way for the establishment of an exchange program with Fudan that replicates existing relationships with China University of Politics & Law in Bcijing and other schools worldwide. Professor Aviva Orenstein made similar connections this spring visiting with representatives of the Warsaw University Faculty of Law and Administration in Poland. "For me, the joy has been in meeting fascinating people with a keen drive to learn, often with the goal of benefiting their countries," Orenstein says. "In the process of discussing American law, particularly America's approach to trials, I've gained tremendously from insightful questions about aspects of American law I often take for granted." William Hicks traveled to Korea for meetings with Korean Stock Exchange staff and other international colleagues. International epiphanies Dau-Schmidt sees global academic partnerships as essential to learning and teaching, more now than ever in the field of law. "Travel gives you a lot more perspective," Dau-Schmidt says, especially when it comes to problem-solving. The epiphanies stemming from international conversations aren't foreign to Professor S. Japhet of the National Law School of India University, located in Bangalore, India. Japhet spoke to law students in Indiana Law Professor Kevin Brown's Race, American Society, and the Law course and to Law School faculty about the oppression of Dalits, referred to in the past as untouchables, and the caste system in modern-day India. Brown, who hosted Japhet, conducts similar research that seeks to bridge the vast cultural gap existing in societies between majority and minority populations. Brown shared his research and thoughts about oppression in the American context with faculty at the National Law School and with Dalit leaders in New Delhi, Varnasi, and Mumbai (Bombay) this spring. So why are Indiana Law professors so deeply engaged in international debate and legal change? It boils down to a neighborhood of learning that defies boundaries. "It's important to understand that other countries can learn from us," Dau-Schmidt says, "and that we can learn from other countries." 25 Where in the world are Indiana Law students? In the last five years, approximately 30 percent of each graduating class has studied abroad. Our students study at Universite Patheon-Assas in Paris, summer in Europe or Asia, or spend their falls in Spain or Hamburg, Germany. In fact, students at Indiana Law have access to programs that don't exist at any other law school in the country, such as in Warsaw, Poland; Jena, Germany; and Auckland, New Zealand. This year, our students embraced internships, study, and summer work in Hong Kong, China; Cairo, Egypt; Bucharest, Romania; and in Germany, Korea, Thailand, Ghana, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. With regard to the more than 200 students who have studied in the London Consortium over the past 21 years, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Len Fromm says, "It's been an enhancement to their legal education. They have studied with some of the premiere U.S. and British faculty members and attend with students from other law schools around the country. They establish lasting personal and professional relationships." Law School students are working and living abroad in: • China • Egypt • Romania • Germany • U.S. Virgin Islands • The Netherlands Korea • Ghana • Thailand • Poland New Zealand • Liberia Indiana Law students dot the map. They are everywhere. Step by step: Indiana Law students pioneer for democracy by Sarah Preuschl Eric Loftman and Yarrow Neubert in Thailand "Social democracies ensure that a country's wealth can be spread among people," student Eric Loftman, who spent the summer interning with the Burma Lawyers Council in Thailand, says. "You have countries in utter turmoil, and their people have no protections at all from injustice. The first steps are really fundamental." First steps are the focus for Indiana Law's Center for Constitutional Democracy in Plural Societies, a one-of-a-kind, interdisciplinary project devoted to constitutional reform in Burma, Liberia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. Despotic military rule for more than four decades has crippled Burma's infrastructure and its people. Many citizens fled the country, seeking refuge around the world and building a vibrant and active pro-democracy movement for Burma. Loftman and fellow second-year students Yarrow Neubert and Jennifer Nagourney, who were awarded some of this year's public interest scholarships, spent the summer in Thailand working for the troubled Burmese country. The CCDPS is the only educational institution in the United States that offers students the chance to work directly and regularly with foreign reform leaders to support constitutional democracy. Third-year student Lara Kalwinski and Jason Klein, a second-year student, traveled to Liberia with similar directives. Loftman helped the BLC write a position paper regarding labor law for migrant workers. The paper will help draw support from the United Nations, foreign governments, and non-governmental organizations. "I came to law school to figure out how to be an advocate for social justice and battle the bigger systems of racism and discrimination that play into global injustice." Neubert hoped to lay similar foundations as an affiliate of the Women's League of Burma, an organization rooted in the beliefs that women are necessary to the process of improving human rights, democracy, and equal rights for all nationalities in Burma and that it is vital they participate in the national reconciliation and peace-building process. She spent the summer documenting the current roles and treatment of Burmese women, particularly those in refugee camps, and the effects of UN Security Resolution 1325 on peace and security for women in a report on activism and advocacy, which she presented at various workshops. "I'm excited about being able to really listen and try to contribute to the cause for Burmese women," she says. "I came to law school to figure out how to be an advocate for social justice and battle the bigger systems of racism and discrimination that play into global injustice. This work may help me find a way to work with both ideals in tandem." Both Neubert and Loftman previously visited Thailand as volunteers. "Before, I saw the challenges they were facing in coming up with creative legal solutions," Loftman says. "Now, because of our English and our legal training, we both have the opportunity to help sort out those solutions. The democracy movement should be about asking how we can be a part — in a non-imperial way — in the formation of democracies." Neubert agrees. "This trip helps us see the interconnectedness of the systems in our world that perpetuate oppression." 27 International teaching experiences provide insight for students, faculty by Debbie O'Leary Faculty members at Indiana Law boast a long and vibrant history in international scholarship. International experiences foster lasting relationships with peers overseas and provide mutual benefits for faculty and students in understanding diverse and complex global legal systems. The oldest of the international programs at IU, the London Law Consortium comprises seven ABA-approved law schools around the country that offer students a culturally enriching study abroad program in cooperation with Florida State University's London Study Center. Each spring semester, second- and third-year law students take a variety of courses led by both British and American faculty. Indiana Law faculty members have spent many semesters teaching courses in American law on the campus located near London's theater district, Covent Garden, and bustling Oxford Street. "I have never enjoyed a semester more," Professor Fred H. Cate says. The small, informal teaching environment complements a cultural mecca. "We went to Parliament a number of times and met many interesting people — the head of the law reform commission, the attorney general, the minister for defense, and others." Besides teaching in London, Indiana Law professors spend considerable time teaching in hotspots around the world, including Universite Pantheon-Assas (Paris II), Assumption University in Thailand, and China University of Politics and Law. They speak at universities in Italy, Wales, Taiwan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Thailand, Liberia, Burma, Colombia, Mexico, Korea, Azerbaijan, Barcelona, and India, among others. Experiences in foreign classrooms provide fodder for teaching, research ideas, and insights for faculty and students alike. For Executive Associate Dean John Applegate, a distinguished environmental scholar, large-scale insight drives home the realization that the United States is no longer the only nation with a complex system of environmental regulation. "Understanding other countries' regulatory systems is essential to improving our own and to educating our students for the legal world that they are about to enter," he says. For the past eight years, Visiting Professor Elisabeth Zoller, director of the Common Law Program at Paris II, has invited Indiana Law faculty to teach courses at the Center for American Law. She says French law students benefit enormously from exposure to a different legal culture and American legal reasoning and methods. Through Zoller's connections, Professor Roger Dworkin spends a great deal of time at Paris II as well universities in Kiel and Erlangen, Germany, and Trento, Italy. To him, international teaching is humbling. "The language skills and depth of interest of the European students are amazing and keep one modest about one's own achievements. ... It keeps one modest about being an American." "The language skills and depth of interest of the European students are amazing and keep one modest about one's own achievements.... It keeps one modest about being an American." — Roger Dworkin 28 Life from the 'other side' by Lauren Luke, JD'06 "Spending half a year in the Pacific Rim was like traveling the world in record time." I spent almost six months living in a place that sometimes really felt like "the other side of the world." While Auckland, New Zealand, is certainly dominated by Western influences, there was a certain panic I experienced when walking off the plane. After a 12-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean, I was hit with the realization that I didn't know anyone within a 6,000-mile radius. Fortunately, by the time I reached the baggage claim, I was reflecting back on my stay in Hong Kong as an undergraduate business student and reminding myself that many lessons simply cannot be learned within a comfort zone. By taking this step, I developed relationships not only with Kiwis (New Zealanders, not the fruits), but with students from Tonga, Tokyo, England, and Botswana. Spending half a year in the Pacific Rim was like traveling the world in record time. Cross-cultural connections can surely incite conflict, but even in the face of disagreement or misunderstanding, I discovered the best ways to understand others and myself. In an Alternative Dispute Resolution class, I gave a presentation on models of mediation with five peers — a native New Zealander and four other students who hailed from Sweden, France, and Denmark. As could be expected, each of us approached the project from a different standpoint. However, these varying perspectives were by no means impediments to communication or relationships. Surely, the challenges we encountered were numerous — from simply not having enough hours in the day to ensuring that we offered in-depth coverage of all the issues. In the end, though, our differences acted as catalysts to achieve greater creativity and originality. Luke was one of two students enrolled last year in Indiana Law's study-abroad partnership with the University of Auckland Faculty of Law in Auckland, New Zealand. The New Zealand program and similar programs at the Warsaw University Faculty of Law and Administration in Warsaw, Poland, and Freidrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany, are opportunities law students will only find at Indiana Law.

Sue Shields is the gold standard on measures of efficiency — humbling others with the sheer volume of work she gets through in a day. "I have good help — isn't that always the secret?" she says. And anyway, "Efficiency is probably a misnomer. I think I really care about what I do, and because I care so much, I'll just stick with it until it's done right. ... Dogged, that's probably a good word for me." Shields, 67, the first female federal magistrate in Indiana, will step down from her post in January after more than 40 years as a judge. Before magistrate, she served as a state appeals court judge for 14 years, the first woman in Indiana to serve at that level. In 1965, her election to a superior court judgeship in Hamilton County made her the first woman elected to a general jurisdiction judgeship in the Hoosier state. "It is difficult to capture Sue's career —just to imagine what effect she's had in setting the tone in hard work and civility. ... You sound like you're filling the air with excess and hyperbole, and in fact, you're just scratching the surface," Federal District Judge Larry McKinney, chief judge for the Southern District of Indiana, says. "The woman has almost no ego. This whole celebration of her life is a bother to her. It troubles her to do it. But we cannot not celebrate, she touched so many of our lives." The 1961 Indiana Law graduate recalls her Hamilton County days fondly and the county as "a wonderful place to practice law." She remembers the close-knit associations and camaraderie. "A handshake on a resolution of a case was fine. It was a good time in the practice, a very honorable time," she says. Times have changed, and the federal system is "a bigger universe," she notes. But it is a cultural shift in the profession that she notices most, one that troubles her. Shields sees a growing tension between generations as the market grows more competitive, but for her law is still tremendously rewarding as an opportunity to actually improve the way the world works. "I hate to say 'doing good,' but that's how I see it," she says. "If you can make that balance, then it's the best profession in the world, as far as I'm concerned." Shields doesn't define her career by momentous events but as a process, especially as a magistrate, where mediation and compromise are so important. "Ninety percent of the time, I'm really bringing the parties together to work out their differences," she says. "I find that really rewarding. ... The system is in its finest hour because they've been given that opportunity." She won't spend retirement pining for her hectic, pressured schedule, but she'll miss the daily interaction with lawyers — some she calls the finest in the field — and others, too, from "real people with real problems" to powerful CEOs of international companies. "As her retirement approaches, we will all read and hear much about Judge Shields's amazing career full of firsts and professional accomplishments," says Lisa Thielmeyer, Shields's law clerk, who joined her in 1992 when Shields was a state appeals court judge. "But as impressive as all that is, what I admire most is how much she genuinely cares about all of the people who cross her path and how much of her time and energy she gives every day." Shields's sons are attorneys in Texas, and she plans on seeing more of them upon her departure from the bench. After that, she's not sure. Just now, there's little time to look ahead. "I'm trying to keep my nose to the grindstone," she says. What would she advise them in their young careers? "I would tell them first of all they've got to be absolutely and totally honest. Then, they've got to work for their clients. They've also got to remember that they've got to keep their integrity. You've got to do what you can for your client — but you never cross the line." And of course, she'd tell them, "love your mother." Fast facts on U.S. Magistrate V. Sue Shields • V. is for Vivian, although she was to have started life as Virginia, named for her mother.

Fisher, JD'94, solicitor general of Indiana, recently represented the state in the U.S. Supreme Court case Mammon v. Indiana. Fisher was accompanied at counsel table at the Supreme Court and assisted in the briefing of the case by Deputy Indiana Attorney General Nicole Schuster, JD'01. The case confronted whether an oral accusation made to an investigating officer at the scene of an alleged crime constitutes a "testimonial" for purposes of the Confrontation Clause. The United States argued as an amicus curiae that the accuser's statements were testimonial and therefore should not have been admitted at trial. Fisher argued that these statements were not testimonial and therefore were properly admitted. Fisher split time with Assistant to the Solicitor General Irving Gornstein, who also argued on behalf of the United States. The case was argued in tandem with Davis v. Washington, another case that questioned whether an alleged victim's statements to a 9-1-1 operator naming her assailant constitute testimonial statements subject to the Confrontation Clause restrictions enunciated in Crawford v.

Hugh Dillin, who graduated from the Law School in 1938, since his death this spring at the age of 91. Dillin served the judiciary and the bar with distinction as a district judge for more than 40 years. He was appointed to the federal bench by President John F. Kennedy on Sept. 22, 1961, after a distinguished career as a trial lawyer. He served as chief judge from 1982 to 1984 and took senior status in 1993. His appointment followed a distinguished career as a trial lawyer and state legislative leader. Through age 87, Dillin continued to preside at trials and carry an active caseload. Dillin embarked on his legal career in 1938, entering into practice with his father in Petersburg, Ind. He was first elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1936, at the age of 22. Later he served as secretary and hearing examiner of the Public Service Commission of Indiana, resigning to volunteer for service in the Army during World War II. He returned to Indiana, served as Democratic minority leader in the House, and in 1958, he was elected to the Indiana Senate. Dillin served as a leader in the federal judiciary as an elected a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1979 to 1982. During this time, he was appointed by the chief justice of the United States to serve on the highly influential and respected Executive Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States and was a member of the national Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. He was probably best known in Indiana for his decisions requiring the desegregation of public schools in Indianapolis and Evansville, the two largest cities in the Southern District. "Judge Dillin was a wonderful judge to clerk for," Sophia Goodman, Indiana Law's director of the Legal Research and Writing Program and a senior lecturer in law, says. "His opinions, his courtroom style, and his legendary storytclling were infused with compassion for the underdog and intolerance for long-windedness." "His opinions, his courtroom style, and his legendary storytelling were infused with compassion for the underdog and intolerance for long-windedness." Dillin is preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Mary Eloise Humphreys Dillin, and a daughter, Dianc. He is survived by daughter Dr. Patricia (Dillin) Wright, son-in-law Peter Wright, granddaughters Sasha and Lila, and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. Continuing in faithfulness to his alma mater, the S.E. and S.H. Dillin Scholarship was established in his memory.

The IMU board of directors dubbed the Union Board Room the Eugene D. Fletchall Room. 39 CLOSING ARGUMENTS Indiana Law in Evolution Professor Yvonne Cripps offers insights on international patent law, genomics, and the role of lawyers in a global community. As an adopted Hoosier, hailing originally from New Zealand, via the United Kingdom, I am delighted by my opportunity to participate in the Law School's groundbreaking work in the increasingly international community of lawyers and scholars. Indiana Law and the wider legal profession have a crucial role to play in connecting with this ever-evolving global legal network. We can shape it through our engagement in the great debates of the age and our identification of the issues that are likely to dominate in the coming years. My principal interest is the law relating to the patenting of biotcchnological inventions, and I am very proud that one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century was achieved by James Watson, who completed his doctoral and postdoctoral work at IU Bloomington, and who, with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of the DNA molecule. Indiana remains at the forefront of developments in biotechnology: home of the international headquarters of Eli Lilly and of the world leaders in the field of pharmaceutical genetics at IU Medical Center. I am very fortunate to be able to play a small role in this enterprise, not least, as a result of collaboration with inspiring individuals involved in BioCrossroads (formerly the Indiana Life Sciences Initiative) — a cutting-edge public-private-academic partnership — and in IU Bloomington's Genomics Center, just up the road from the Law School. Science and intellectual property law are international in scope. Patent protection in one country alone will not prevent the invention from being worked abroad, patents being territorial in nature. Patent applications are therefore normally filed in Europe and other major jurisdictions, such as Japan, as well as in the United States. So also with the scientific enterprise itself. The Internet and the 21st century have heralded much international collaboration in science. While I was working at the University of Cambridge in England, scientists involved in the international effort to sequence the human genome became very concerned about attempts in England and other countries to patent unmodified human genes as the contours of the genome were revealed. I advised them that such patents on unmodified human genes could be blocked by publishing information about the gene sequences on an Internet Web site as the DNA base pairs were discovered during the sequencing process. This use of the Internet placed some of these so-called inventions into the international public domain and thus barred a number of gateway patents on the fundaments of life. This is not to suggest that biotechnological inventions should not be patented. It is to argue that unmodified human genes should be regarded as products of nature, unfettered by intellectual property and freely available to those who wish to work with them to develop truly inventive pharmaceutical and biotechnological products that are genuinely innovative and deserving of patent protection in the public interest. As I write this column, my desk is papered with documents waiting to be incorporated into a conference presentation on the subject of patented clones and genes in the context of the GATT TRIPS Agreement (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights) of the World Trade Organization. Delegates from several countries will come together in Beijing to discuss these issues. China will host this international gathering as its scientists negotiate their own and others' patents systems. With the help and collaboration of the Genomics Center and the biology department here on campus and bolstered by our faculty's strength in the fields of intellectual property and world trade, I prepare for the conference with a deep sense of excitement about the Law School's national and international role in this and many other vital areas. Professor Yvonne Cripps, an internationally acclaimed scholar and teacher, holds the Harry T. Ice Chair of Law at Indiana Law. A specialist in intellectual property law and biotechnology, she is a member of the American Law Institute, a barrister in England and New Zealand, and has served as an adviser in intellectual property and biotechnology to the House of Lords and the New Zealand government, on constitutional matters to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Justice, and as a consultant on intellectual property to various law firms and corporations. 40 INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW Bloomington Indiana Law Alumni Board of Directors Dean Lauren Robel, JD'83 Dean and Val Nolan Professor of Law Officers President Geoffrey Slaughter, JD'89 President-elect Lisa McKinney Goldner, JD'92 Vice President John Kyle III, JD'79 Treasurer Gregory Castanias, JD'90 Secretary Sara Slaughter, JD'88 Past President Ted Waggoner, JD'78 Directors Janet Min Beach, JD'95 Ellen Boshkoff, JD'90 Andrew Buroker, JD'89 Mary Linda Cascy, JD'70 Thomas Clancy, JD'73 Sherrill ColvinJD'65 Maria Luz Corona, JD'81 Gary Davis,JD'82 Marisa Ford,JD'85 Rose Gallagher,JD'99 Nester Ho,JD'93 Andrew Hull, JD'86 Gregory Jordan, JD'84 Gregory Knapp, JD'81 Angela Karras Neboyskey, JD'00 Thomas McNulty, JD'83 Sonia Miller-Van Ort, JD'97 Dennis Mondero, JD'93 Martin Montes, JD'95 John Michael Mueller, JD'97 Joseph O'Connor, JD'78 Angela Parker, JD'94 Gayle Gerling Pettinga, JD'87 Elissa Preheim, JD'96 David Rammelt, JD'90 Laurie Robinson, JD'98 David Tittle, JD'67 Nancy Vozar Knapp, JD'83 Brian Williams, JD'81 Gordon Wishard, JD'69 Ex Officio Members Mary Beth Brody, JD'76 Joseph Brownlee, JD'72 Philippa Guthrie JD'91 John Hobson Patrick Zika, JD'73 School of Law Board of Visitors Officers Robert A.
