Description

Terry Morehead Dworkin graduated from the Maurer School of Law in 1975 as a member of the Order of the Coif. After teaching legal writing at Maurer and serving one year as assistant director of the legal writing program at the University of Virginia Law School, Dworkin joined the faculty of the Kelley School’s Department of Business Law (now Business Law and Ethics). There she rose through the ranks to eventually hold the Jack Wentworth Chair. She served two terms as chair of the department before becoming the Dean of Women’s Affairs for the Bloomington campus. In that office she established a reputation for vigorous advocacy for women coupled with total fairness and objectivity that made men accused of inappropriate behavior secure in the knowledge that they would receive just, unbiased consideration. Outside of IU Dworkin rose through the ranks and served as national president of the Academy of Legal Studies in Business. She continues to be active in the Academy, attending meetings and frequently serving as a mentor to beginning academics. Dworkin has for many years been one of the three co-editors of a leading business law textbook. Dworkin is known as a preeminent employment law scholar, particularly around whistleblower laws. She retired in 2007. Dworkin continues to publish and present scholarship.
