Practitioner in Residence Program Begins
Each year, the Practitioner in Residence program brings distinguished lawyers to the school, where they can meet and talk to both students and faculty. Our first Practitioner in Residence for 1991-92 is Milton O. Thompson, a 1979 graduate of the School of Law. He will be here October 28, 29, and 30. Thompson is nationally known for his work as General Counsel and Vice President of Corporate Development to the Organizing Committee of the Tenth Pan American Games. He not only handled the legal matters of the corporation, he also successfully negotiated the contracts for the revenue for the Games. He is credited with being the architect of the most successful licensing program ever developed for a multi-sports event, and was involved in securing sponsors, suppliers, contractors, vendors, patrons and licensees. His work with the Pan Am games included negotiations in Europe, South America, and the Caribbean; he was a member of the delegation to Havana that met with Fidel Castro regarding Cuba's role in the Games.
After the Games, Thompson became Vice President of Special Projects for the Indiana Sports Corporation, where he directed Indiana's effort to become an Olympic Training Center. Currently, he is general partner for Sports Ventures, which represents athletes and entertainers, and is also of counsel to Henderson, Daily, Withrow & DeVoe in Indianapolis.
Thompson received his A.B. from Wittenberg University, where he majored in Political Science and Philosophy——and received 1st Team Ail-American honors as a baseball player. While a student here, he completely restructured the Student Bar Association, represented the School in the National Moot Court Competition, and was selected by his classmates to deliver the commencement address at graduation. He also taught in the CLEO program and managed his own legal research company.
After receiving the J.D., Thompson worked as a deputy prosecutor in Marion county, where he won each of the nearly 100 cases he took to trial. He was a Charter Director of the National Black Prosecutors Association, and was elected to the States Lawyers Commission. He also served as a Court commissioner and as Counsel to the Indiana State Senate.
Mr. Thompson will speak in several classes in the law school, including Trial Process, Labor Law, Contracts and Race, Law and Society,. In addition, he will be available to talk to students informally during the week. Further details will be available next week.

Birch Bayh to Speak Oct. 24
Birch Bayh, former United States Senator from Indiana (1962-1980), will speak at the law school at 2:00, Thursday, October 24 in the Moot Court Room. Senator Bayh's three terms as an Indiana Senator capped a political career which began at age 26 with his
election to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1954. During his eight years in the House, Bayh served two years as Speaker. After his election to the Senate, Bayh eventually became a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he wrote and sponsored the 25th and 26th amendments to the Constitution. Bayh also served as Senate sponsor for Title IX, which provided for equal rights for women in education. Senator Bayh is currently senior partner in the law firm Rivkin, Bayh, Radler, Hart & Kremer in Washington D.C.
Senator Bayh's talk is sponsored by the Public Interest Law Foundation. It will be followed by a reception in the faculty lounge.

Community Legal Clinic Intern Handles Jury Trial
This fall, the Community Legal Clinic had its first jury trial. Kim Morris, 3L, was the intern responsible for the case, which began this summer when the client was charged with felony counts of theft from autos. Ms. Morris interviewed the client several times over the summer at the Monroe County Jail, and eventually the client decided to take the charges to trial. If convicted on both counts, the client would have faced a maximum of six years. In preparation for trial, Clinic interns conducted depositions of six witnesses and two police officers. While Ms. Morris described the trial as "perhaps the fastest one in Monroe County," she said she enjoyed the opportunity to conduct jury selection, give an opening statement, perform cross examination, and give a closing argument. The jury acquitted her client on one of the charges and convicted on the other, and the client was happy with this outcome.
Ms. Morris reports that "criminal procedure and the 4th and 5th amendment took on a whole new perspective when the liberty of mv client depended on them. For me, it marked the beginning of an understanding of how much attorneys practicing criminal law are responsible for their clients. Six years isn't life, but it's long enough to be taken very seriously. Getting a chance to do this while still in law school where I had two supervisors to ask any question I wanted was a great opportunity."
People interested in the Community Legal Clinic should stop by its office on the Third Floor.

News From the Faculty
On October 21,1991, Prof. Jost Delbruck is going to re-open the Kiel branch of I.U. School of Law. Unfortunately, this implies that he has to take on the role of the "transatlantic colleague" again which, in turn, means that he has to leave on Friday, October 18, 1991. He thanks all Law School fans - professors, students, staff - for a wonderful time, friendship and hospitality, and he promises to be back in less than a year's time. Courses next fall will be "international protection of human rights (lecture course) and "international and US national telecommunications law" (seminar with Prof.Gate). Goodbye and take care!
Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell's chapter, "International Legal Aid: The Secretary General's Trust Fund to Assist States in the
Settlement of Disputes Through the International Court of Justice," will be published in a book on International Courts.
