the opportunity to do research at Indiana University and share their
ideas with the faculty and students of the Indiana University School of
Law and Indiana University. George P. Smith, an Indiana native,
received his B.S. degree in business, economics, and public policy in
1961 from Indiana University and his J. D. from the Indiana University
