Speaker: Williams v. Tharp
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Wynne Courtroom
Tuesday, April 8, at 5:00 p.m. Williams v. Tharp
Two men went to a Papa John's restaurant in Westfield to pick up a pizza they had ordered. An employee falsely reported one of the men pulled a gun. A number of police officers surrounded the men's vehicle when they returned home with the pizza. Police detained the men, in handcuffs and on their knees, for an hour and a half while they investigated.
The men sued Papa John's and its employee for defamation, false imprisonment, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial court excluded evidence the men offered in the form of the police in-car video recording and some statements by a police officer. It then granted summary judgment for Papa John's and the employee on the grounds the complaint included no defamatory statement; the employee's statement was privileged; and the employee did not act intentionally or in an extreme and outrageous manner.
The Scheduled Panel Members are: Judges Kirsch, Riley and May. http://www.in.gov/judiciary/appeals/calendar.html
The judges will take questions from the audience after the argument. A reception sponsored by the Indiana State Bar Association will be held in the atrium after this argument.

Speaker: State v. Pollard
Time: 2:30 pm
Location: Wynne Courtroom
The Indiana Court of Appeals will hold oral argument in the Wynne Courtroom. The arguments are open to the public and the entire law school community. The judges will take questions from the audience after each argument.
Monday, March 31 at 2:30 p.m. State v. Pollard
A panel of Judge Ezra H. Friedlander, Judge Margret G. Robb, and Judge Paul D. Mathias will hear the case on appeal from Blackford Superior Court. The Court is asked to decide whether the trial court erred in finding that a statute limiting convicted sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school property, a youth program center, or a public park was an ex post facto law as it applied to Mr. Pollard’s 20-year residency and was therefore unconstitutional in his case. Arguing for the appellant, the State of Indiana, will be Deputy Attorney General Cynthia Ploughe. Chris Teagle of the Teagle Law Firm in Muncie will argue for Mr. Pollard. http://www.in.gov/judiciary/press/2008/0317.html

Shakespeare in the Courtroom: The Nature of Justice and the Art of Anti-Semitism
On Tuesday, February 26, at 5:30 pm, the touring arm of The American Shakespeare Center (ASC) will perform the courtroom scene from A Merchant of Venice in the IU School of Law School’s Wynne Courtroom. The performance will be followed by a discussion featuring distinguished professors and activists who will react to the scene, and then take questions from the audience.
The courtroom scene includes Portia’s speech “The quality of mercy is not strained” (which she delivers dressed as a young male lawyer). It is Shakespeare’s most sustained exploration of the nature of justice and law, as well as one of the most infamous and influential works of art in the history of anti-Semitism. Despite Portia’s rhetoric, Shylock is given little, if any mercy. As a Jew in Christian Venice, relegated to a ghetto by night and barred from most economic pursuits, Shylock lends money at interest to Christians – a practice that Church law prohibits for Christians. A Christian merchant, Antonio, reviles Jewish lenders even as he requires their services for his trade. This event will explore the relationship between law and justice, anti-Semitism and Jewish-Christian relations, gender, debt and capitalism… Even after 400 years, these issues resonate with contemporary audiences! The panel will be moderated by Robert Katz, Professor of Law and Philanthropic Studies. This event is co-sponsored by the Jewish Law Society, a student organization at IU School of Law – Indianapolis and the Department of English in the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. Tickets are free (with presentation of Jagtag) to IU/IUPUI students, faculty, and staff, and $10 for all others. To reserve your seat, call Vicki Hale at 274-3824 or e-mail vhale@iupui.edu. Parking is available for a nominal fee at the Natatorium Garage two blocks west of the law school.
Panelists include:
- R. George Wright, Lawrence A. Jegen III Professor of Law at the IU School of Law--Indianapolis, who teaches and writes on jurisprudence and constitutional law.
- Mary Mitchell, Alan H. Cohen Professor of Law at the IU School of Law--Indianapolis, who teaches Law and Literature.
- Terri Bourus, Associate Professor of English at the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, who teaches and writes on Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama.
- John G. Rudy, Professor Emeritus of English, at Indiana University Kokomo, whose thirty-six year career introduced students and scholars to the joys of Shakespeare and his influences on later writers.
- Clark M. Williamson, Indiana Professor of Christian Thought, Emeritus, at Christian Theological Seminary, who studies Christian theology after the Holocaust. He is a member of the committee on the Church and the Holocaust of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and of the Christian Scholars Group on Judaism.
- Alan Goldstein, a partner at the law firm of Ice Miller, LLP, and past president of Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council, the public affairs and intergroup relations agency of the Indianapolis Jewish community, which aims to safeguard the rights of Jews and promote a pluralistic society. Alan was also an English major as an undergraduate, and graduated from IU Law-Indy.
The ASC in Indianapolis:
The American Shakespeare Center’s week-long residency at IUPUI includes three other public performances at the Christian Theological Seminary’s Shelton Theatre: Henry V on Thursday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1 (each at 7:00), and The Merchant of Venice on Sunday, March 2, at 2 p.m, in addition to high school performances in Indianapolis on February 25 and Kokomo on February 29. Tickets for any show can be reserved by contacting the English department at 274-9841 or english@iupui.edu.
The American Shakespeare Center -- through its performances, theatres, ons, and educational programs -- seeks to make Shakespeare, the joys of theatre and language, and the communal experience of the Renaissance stage accessible to all. By re-creating Renaissance conditions of performance, the ASC explores its repertory of plays for a better understanding of these great works and of the human theatrical enterprise past, present, and future.
This evening is made possible, in part, by a grant from the New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities Program, which is supported by the Lilly Foundation and administered by IU Office of the Vice-President for Research.

Professor Craig William Haney
University of California, Santa Cruz
5:00 pm lecture, Wynne Courtroom
6:00 pm reception, Conour Atrium
This event is free and open to the public.
Craig Haney’s research concerns the application of social psychological principles and data to various legal and civil rights issues. He has specialized in the assessment of institutional environments, especially the psychological effects of incarceration, as well as the study of the social histories of persons accused or convicted of serious violent crimes. He has also studied the way in which attitudes and beliefs about crime and punishment are changed by legal procedures, as well as the role such attitudes and beliefs play in influencing legal fairness and impartiality.
Haney and his students are currently involved in a wide range of research projects including examining criminogenic social histories, the psychological effects of different forms of incarceration, the role of pre-trial publicity in creating juror prejudice and prejudgment, and the structure of criminal justice attitudes and the mechanisms that underlie discriminatory legal decision making.
Professor Haney received his B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and later earned an M.A., J.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford. He is a recipient of the Herbert Jacobs Prize for Most Outstanding Book published on law and society in 2005 for Death by Design, and has been nominated for a National Book Award for Reforming Punishment.
