Speaker: Professor Jena Martin, West Virginia University College of Law
Time: 11:45am-12:45pm
Location: Inlow Hall, 530 W. New York Street, Indianapolis, IN

The IU McKinney School of Law welcomes Professor Jena Martin, West Virginia University College of Law to speak about Business and Human Rights: What’s the Board Got to Do with It?
Lecture begins at 11:45am.
Corporate scandals related to human rights issues have illustrated the hefty cost associated with ignoring humanitarian issues while conducting business. For example, the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (Shell) has spent tens of millions of dollars related to the Nigerian government’s execution of the “Ogoni 9,” which was preceded by a tense relationship between the corporation and Ogoni people of Nigeria. In addition, in India, the Vendanta corporation lost substantial market capitalization following a trial related to its mountain mining activities for its effects on the people of the region. Despite the moral duty that may have compelled action in these examples, it is also clear that a corporation’s (particularly a transnational corporation) decision to develop a framework for proactive corporate responsibility is also good business.
The presentation will examine the appropriate role of the Board of Directors in formulating this framework in light of the Alien Tort Claims Act and the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on corporate responsibility and human rights. While admitting that the Board of Directors will face great challenges when incorporating human rights issues into a company’s corporate governance Professor Martin will argue that organizational behavior theory can provide sounds tools to boards in assessing these issues. Given the central role courts are placing on the Board of Directors, it would be wise to rise to the challenge and make sure that human rights are a key part of their function.

In his private life, Brian is a partner with the law firm of Kroger, Gardis, and Regas, focusing his practice in the areas of local government and environmental law.

This year’s symposium examines the extent to which patients are trusted as emerging models of health care and health care financing place greater emphasis on patient choice and engagement. Should patients be (more) responsible for the cost of their health care? Will emerging technologies and health care models result in patients acting more like consumers? To what extent should patients exercise greater control and assume greater responsibility for their own health such that blaming or shaming patients becomes accepted strategies for improving health?
Join Keynote Speaker, George Loewenstein, Herbert A. Simon Professor of Economics and Psychology, Dept. of Social and Decision Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University for this year's Indiana Health Law Review Symposium and other experts.

Speaker: Cameron Davis, Senior Advisor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, and Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Counsel
Location: Inlow Hall, 530 W. New York Street, Indianapolis, IN
Contact: Julie Davis at jd1@iu.edu
The Great Lakes comprise the largest surface freshwater system on earth – estimated to be 20% of all fresh water on the planet – and governing this resource has been, for more than 100 years, subject of a complex orchestration of legal and institutional arrangements among the two countries, eight states, and one province that border the lakes. These legal frameworks have been constantly tested and periodically updated to respond to evolving uses, changing values, and new challenges to the conservation and management of the Great Lakes. New agreements among the littoral states designed to assure sustainable use and protect the lakes from extra-basin transfers became effective in 2008, and are only now being tested for the first time. In 2012, the cornerstone Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, first signed in 1972, was amended to “address aquatic invasive species, habitat degradation and the effects of climate change, and support continued work on existing threats to people’s health and the environment in the Great Lakes Basin...”
The IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law's Sixth Annual Spring Environmental Symposium will focus on these challenges and these new agreements, among others, designed to meet the challenges. Scholars and experts will address the theme on five panels:
- Panel one examines Great Lakes challenges and emerging legal frameworks
- Panel two explores the problem of invasive species and the Asian Carp
- Panel three investigates the emerging threat of shale formation hydraulic fracturing
- Panel four looks at community connections and human rights
- Panel five offers lessons learned from international and comparative models
Keynote Speaker Cameron Davis is a long-time advocate for Great Lakes conservation, and the top official advising the US Environmental Protection Agency on the Great Lakes.

In January, 2010, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere suffered one of the most devastating earthquakes in modern history. The earthquake’s human and infrastructure toll only added to the Haitian misery caused by vicious hurricanes, grinding poverty, ongoing deforestation, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and a seemingly endless state of political upheaval.
For solutions to Haiti’s suffering, the international community typically envisions engineers digging wells, construction workers building houses, and doctors treating the sick. But, like efforts to rebuild a house without first ensuring a strong foundation and solid framing, emergency relief and even long-term investment in Haiti is doomed to failure until human rights are respected and the rule of law is in place.
Fortunately, a remarkable team of Haitian and American human rights lawyers have dedicated their lives to building the foundation for Haiti’s recovery. Working in partnership with grassroots organizations led by poor and disenfranchised Haitians, these lawyers lead a sustained and innovative campaign designed to bring justice to the poor and reverse a two-century legacy of Haitian lawlessness and suffering. Professor Quigley has written a book about this campaign, Victory is for the People: How Human Rights Can Save Haiti, and will be speaking about it on November 29th.

The Inaugural Birch Bayh Lecture
Join us for the inaugural Birch Bayh Lecture at the IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law. The Birch Bayh Lecture will be an annual event at the school, established in honor of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh. The lecture series, made possible through the generous contributions of the Simon Property Group where Senator Bayh served on the board for 17 years, and friends of Birch Bayh, will focus on issues of importance to Senator Bayh throughout his long and distinguished career in government.
Registration is now closed.
The Honorable Birch Bayh
Birch Bayh is a former member of the United States Senate, where he served the state of Indiana from 1962-1980. During his three terms in office, he authored historic legislation affecting the American presidency as well as the individual rights of women, minorities and youth. As chairman of the Constitutional Subcommittee, Senator Bayh authored two Amendments to the Constitution: the Twenty-fifth Amendment on Presidential and Vice Presidential succession, and the Twenty-sixth Amendment that lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 years of age. Senator Bayh was the author of two other closely-fought and nearly-passed Amendments to the Constitution: The Equal Rights Amendment, which passed both Houses of Congress, but failed to be ratified by two-thirds of the states, and the Direct Popular Vote Amendment, which would have abolished the Electoral College.
Senator Bayh wrote the landmark legislation, Title IX to the Higher Education Act, that prohibits discrimination based on gender. Senator Bayh is the author and co-sponsor of the Bayh-Dole Act that enables universities and small businesses to gain ownership of federally-funded copyrights. The Act was deemed by The Economist to be “possibly the most inspired piece of legislation to be enacted in America over the past half century.” Senator Bayh was the chief architect of the Juvenile Justice Act, and he served as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Senator Bayh’s political career began with his election to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1954, where he served two years as Speaker and four years as Democratic Floor Leader. In 1962, he was elected to the U.S. Senate. He earned a B.S. degree in Agriculture from Purdue University and a J.D. from the IU Maurer School of Law. He served two years in the United States Army.
Senator Bayh is a partner in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Venable LLP, and is a Senior Fellow of the C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland.
The Honorable Evan Bayh
The IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law is honored to host as the inaugural Birch Bayh Lecturer, former Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. A former two-term governor of Indiana (1989-1997) and U.S. senator (1999-2011), Evan Bayh is a partner at McGuireWoods in Washington, D.C., where he serves as a strategic advisor to many of the firm’s most significant clients, particularly those whose business goals are impacted by the actions of Congress, the executive branch,or by governors and legislators across the country.
Senator Bayh was a leader in the U.S. Senate who worked on a variety of key issues, including financial services reform and health care. He served on several committees, including Armed Services; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Energy and Natural Resources; Small Business and Entrepreneurship; Aging; and Senate Intelligence. As the 46th governor of Indiana, he successfully advocated for welfare reform, tax cuts, and fiscal discipline. He also served as Indiana’s Secretary of State from 1986-1989.
In addition to his practice at McGuireWoods, Senator Bayh is a senior advisor at Apollo Management in New York. He earned a B.S. degree in Business Economics and Public Policy, with honors, from the IU Kelley School of Business in 1978, and a J.D. degree from the University of Virginia Law School in 1981. Senator Bayh also received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Golden Gate University School of Law.

Speaker: Milkah Mirugi Cheptinga and Eric Gumbo, Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE)
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location: Inlow Hall, 530 W. New York Street, Indianapolis, IN
Contact: Ginger Smallwood at gsmallwo@iupui.edu
The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law is hosting a presentation by the attorney leaders of the Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE) in Kenya. LACE Legal Director Milkah Mirugi Cheptinga and Board President Eric Gumbo will speak in the Wynne Courtroom on October 17th at 5:00 PM. Clinical Professor Fran Quigley will provide an introduction.
The Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE) in Kenya is a human rights law clinic working in close association with the Indiana University-affiliated and Nobel Peace Prize-nominated AMPATH (Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare) program in Eldoret, Kenya. Since its founding in 2008, LACE has represented over 3,000 HIV-positive AMPATH patients in cases including land and inheritance issues, gender-based violence prosecutions, defense from debt collection and criminal charges, and family law and defamation claims associated with HIV status. LACE has been invited to present overviews of its program at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna and the conference of the American Public Health Association, and has earned the support of Open Society Initiative of East Africa and Rotary International.
The central Indiana legal community has partnered with LACE since its inception, when Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Patricia A. Riley, ’74, vice president of the IU McKinney Alumni Association Board of Directors, co-founded the organization along with Quigley and their Kenyan colleagues. A delegation of lawyers, judges, and law faculty, including IU McKinney School of Law Dean Gary Roberts, visited LACE in the fall of 2009. Local law firms have supported LACE through an annual “Race for LACE” held in conjunction with the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.
One of LACE’s many clients is Leah J, an HIV-positive Kenyan widow with three children. When Leah’s husband died of AIDS, he left behind a small piece of farmland that was the family’s only property and source of income. But Leah’s in-laws forced her and her children off the land, and they were left homeless and hungry. LACE was able to go to court and secure Leah’s rights to the land, which provides an income for her and her children.

With an election year that will select a new governor for Indiana and the presidential race potentially turning on voters' opinions on jobs and the economy, what is the appropriate role of state government in supporting advanced manufacturing and small businesses? How does law and policy intersect with economic development strategies? What are some potential solutions for growing the employment base of the industrial Midwest?
The 2012 Program on Law and State Government Fellows are examining state government's involvement with economic development, specifically manufacturing and small businesses. Some believe a hands-off, free-market approach is best, but voters demand that their elected leaders-- from city hall to the statehouse to Washington-- do something about jobs. The industrial Midwest has a rich history of manufacturing and entrepreneurship, but now is not the time to pine for what has been lost. Instead it is time to look at how states can compete for talent and jobs. The economic reality is states are competing with one another to attract and retain employers, from small start-ups to large multinational corporations. State governments are uniquely positioned to play a key role in creating an environment for job growth in advanced manufacturing and small business. Learn from the Fellows, economic development professionals, policy leaders and lawyers working in these fields about the role of state governments in the economic development of advanced manufacturing and small business.
The Program on Law and State Government welcomes your participation and lively discussion during the 2012 Fellowship Symposium.

Law school students with an interest in intellectual property law are invited to the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation on the canal for our next luncheon speaker. The IP Center is proud to host a presentation by Kevin Erdman on Thursday, September 27th from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m. His presentation is titled “ Being a Patent Attorney: What you need to qualify, and how legal practice is different in the Patent Office .”
Erdman focuses his practice on advising software and internet centric businesses about the legal landscape. He deals with intellectual property in all aspects, from patent and trademark issues to privacy, commercial, and advertising concerns in today’s complex and constantly changing computing and telecommunications environment.
Erdman started practicing with small IP boutique firms in Silicon Valley, California, then Fort Wayne, Indiana, focusing on patent preparation and prosecution. In the early 90′s his firm created the IP section of a large general practice firm. Practicing as a partner in the general practice firm for decades, his practice expanded into various commercial and IP transactions in the software and internet technologies and industries, both domestic and international. His clientele includes local companies and businesses based on several continents.
Erdman is active in several legal and technical organizations, often presenting to private and public audiences on various intellectual property subjects. Often attending ITechLaw, FICPI, INTA, and international soccer events, he draws on a network of international legal specialists to achieve legal solutions. In today’s dynamic business/technological/legal situations, Erdman calls on these resources to formulate legal strategies for effectively meeting legal and business needs—from crafting a patent portfolio strategy to architecting a global customer data service strategy.

The Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation is hosting reception on Thursday, September 20 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the IP Center on the Canal to welcome another IP scholar, Associate Professor Lea Shaver, to the ranks of our full time IP faculty. (See http://indylaw.indiana.edu/news/current.cfm?nid=590). All students interested in IP are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Professor Shaver, as well as other full time and adjunct IP faculty members.
Professor Shaver is an accomplished scholar writing on topics of intellectual property, innovation, and human rights. A past article, The Right to Science and Culture, 2010 WISC. L. REV. 121 (2010), suggested how international human rights law can offer a philosophical and legal basis to constrain the further expansion of protectionism in international IP law. This work was recently cited and relied upon in a Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur in the Field of Cultural Rights, which was adopted by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2012. Her most recent work, Illuminating Innovation: From Patent Racing to Patent War, forthcoming from the Washington & Lee Law Review, uses the legal history of Thomas Edison's lightbulb to draw lessons for the modern smartphone patent war. She has also edited three books on IP and innovation. Professor Shaver was also recently quoted in Wired magazine ( http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/what-apple-v-samsung-means/), where she commented on the implications of the billion dollar jury verdict Apple recently obtained against Samsung.
Professor Shaver joins McKinney from Hofstra Law School, where she taught intellectual property, patent law, and transnational law. She received her J.D. from Yale Law School, where she was a Coker Fellow in Constitutional Law and was the submissions and articles editor for the Yale Human Rights & Development Law Journal. She was a Fulbright Scholar at the Centre for Applied Legal Studies at South Africa’s University of the Witwatersand law school. She also served as a summer clerk to the Hon. David F. Hamilton when he was on the bench of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
Please join us at the IP Center on September 20 to welcome Professor Shaver.

The tragic stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair on August 13, 2011, left seven people dead, fifty-eight injured, and many more devastated. It also raised controversial questions regarding the liability of potentially responsible parties and the ability of stage collapse victims to obtain fair relief in light of constraints such as the statutory $5 million limit on the state's exposure. In the end, key stakeholders coalesced around an innovative compensation program designed to increase funds available to victims and enable them to obtain payments without recourse to litigation.
Held in the Wynne Courtroom, this two hour program will feature a talk by Kenneth Feinberg, one of the nation's leading attorneys and mediators, who helped the Indiana attorney general's office devise a program for resolving legal claims resulting from the collapse. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion of pivotal actors involved in developing and supporting the program, including the Indiana attorney general and two leading plaintiff attorneys. After the program, a reception with refreshments will be held in the Conour Atrium, and Mr. Feinberg will be available to sign copies of his new book “Who Gets What: Fair Compensation after Tragedy and Financial Upheaval.” The event is organized and moderated by Robert A. Katz, Professor of Law at the Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Professor Katz is an expert on charitable relief for disaster victims and the relationship between tort compensation and charitable gifts for the same injuries.
Panel:
- Greg Zoeller, Indiana Attorney General
- Matt Light, Deputy Attorney General & Chief Counsel of Advisory Services
- Paul Mullin, Partner, Lewis & Wilkins
- Tony Patterson, Partner, Parr Richey Obremskey Frandsen & Patterson LLP
- Robert A. Katz, Professor of Law, IU McKinney School of Law (moderator)
Copies of Kenneth Feinberg’s new book, Who Gets What: A Conversation on Fair Compensation After Tragedy and Financial Upheaval will be available for purchase during the reception.

Shakespeare's lost play
In 1653 The Stationers' Company of London registered for publication a manuscript called "The History of Cardenio", written by Shakespeare and his younger contemporary John Fletcher. Court documents of 1613 establish that this play was acted before King James by the King's Men (Shakespeare's troupe). That Jacobean play was never printed, and the original manuscripts are apparently lost. Dr. Gary Taylor, joint general editor of the New Oxford Shakespeare, and Distinguished Research Professor of English at Florida State University, has recreated the lost play in a rigorous quest for authenticity based on twenty years of research, identifying fragments of the original and discrediting some later claims about it. This performance of The History of Cardenio at IUPUI marks the first complete theatrical production of Taylor's script.

Globalization is here to stay. Globalization has not only taken us to a new stage in human history, but also increased the demand for changes to the legal profession in the modern era. Legal professionals around the world are experiencing the transforming development of the legal profession under globalization, urging worldwide legal professionals to think in a bigger scheme beyond simply a local focus. Judges may try cases with legal issues involving rule of law in jurisdictions other than domestic jurisdiction. Prosecutors may prosecute defendants who committed crimes in multiple jurisdictions. Cross-border business transactions demand lawyers to advise their clients wherever their clients need that assistance. Legal academics frequently research on law and innovative legal issues in various jurisdictions all over the world. (For more information see the article on “Glocalization and the Transforming Legal Profession.”)
In light of the ongoing globalization movement, how do different countries transform their legal systems and legal education in accordance with the increasing demand for changes to today’s legal profession? How do law schools around the world help the new generations of legal professionals prepare for the increasing challenges in this new century? In this inaugural panel of the IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law's International Students Speaker Series, international S.J.D, LL.M and J.D. students and alumni of the school will share their knowledge and perspectives on law, legal education and legal systems in their home countries of China, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Taiwan, Egypt, and Germany.

This symposium honors the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of The William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health, Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
The Hall Center for Law and Health was established in 1987 to expand the curriculum and teaching of health law at the school of law and provide opportunities for student participation in Center-sponsored research, educational programs, and health law field placements. For more than a quarter of a century members of the Center faculty, their multidisciplinary research partners have conducted important legal and empirical research on health law issues in Indiana and the nation and interpreted health law issues for the bar, government, and the health care community.
On this, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Hall Center, we welcome a stellar collection of nationally recognized health law scholars to celebrate this important birthday by looking ahead. To imagine the next quarter century of health care law and policy the symposium participants will be casting their critical predictive analysis on the major themes of health law, from finance and access to care through quality & ethics and emerging scientific and technological challenges.
Additionally, this year our Symposium conference will be home to the annual McDonald-Merrill-Ketcham Memorial Lectureship and Award for Excellence in Law and Medicine jointly sponsored by the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. We are proud to announce that the 2012 awardee is Wendy Mariner, the Edward R. Utley Professor of Health Law, Bioethics & Human Rights at Boston University.

LL.M. Roadmap ( www.LLMRoadMap.com) is a useful guide for international students who want to study law in the U.S. The book also contains very useful information for all international students in any field who want to study in the U.S.
LL.M. Roadmap explains how to gather information about U.S. university programs, choosing the “best” U.S. schools and programs for you, how to get scholarship funding, getting a U.S. visa, preparing to travel to the U.S. to study, adjusting to life in the U.S., and how to be successful in your study or law, or in whatever field you are studying.
LL.M. Roadmap also provides very helpful information about finding a job in the U.S. after you graduate. Professor Edwards’ career development strategies are useful for law students and graduates, but also useful for engineers, business majors, journalists, physicians, sociologists, and any student in any other field!
Professor Edwards’ book signing will be at: Barnes and Noble at the IUPUI Campus Center from 12:00 – 2:30.
Barnes & Noble @ IUPUI Bookstore has graciously offered a 10% discount on copies of LL.M. Roadmap purchased during the Book Signing on 1 December 2011. There will also be Holiday Treats, and validation for parking in the Campus Center Garage.
The store is located at the corner of Michigan Ave. and University Blvd., Indianapolis.
Professor Edwards is donating all his personal profits from publication of this issue of LL.M. Roadmap to the International Law Students Association (ILSA) ( www.ILSA.org ). Professor Edwards is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and has been a professor at the Law School on the IUPUI campus since 1997. He is the Founding Director of the Law School’s Program in International Human Rights Law, that has had about 170 IU law student summer internship placements in over 50 countries on 6 continents. The school awards prestigious scholarships for interns’ air fare, housing, food, and other expenses for their summer internships around the globe.
LL.M. Roadmap would be a great holiday gift for a family member or friend from overseas who wants to study in the U.S. Or, it may be useful for our own international students on campus, who want some tips about how to succeed in a U.S. university environment.
Because profits are going to an international association of law students, you will also be promoting charitable works by purchasing LL.M. Roadmap.
This Indiana book launch follows a successful global launch of LL.M. Roadmap at Harvard Law School on 16 September 2011 and a European launch in Paris, France on 26 September 2011.
Free and open to the public.
“I regret that LL.M. Roadmap was not available when I was Director of Admissions of Harvard’s LL.M. program. I would have recommended it to every recruit and admitted student who passed through Harvard's doors.”
—Athena Mutua, Former Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, LL.M. Program of Harvard Law School

This year's Class Action Campaign for graduating students has a challenge attached to it. When the Class of 2011 took the “Oath to the Profession” during their law school orientation, they promised to be committed members of a learned profession – one that cultivates “knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients” and to “employ that knowledge in reform of the law and to work to strengthen legal education.” As they now prepare to graduate and join that profession the Class, like others before it, is being challenged to continue to help build the tradition of accomplishing that goal in a variety of ways, one of which is supporting their soon-to-be alma mater financially through a class graduation gift and pledge.
All alumni of the Law School are asked to contribute to the school’s Annual Fund and to stay as active partners in the school in a variety of ways. Through the Class Action Campaign, graduating law students are educated about the importance of philanthropic giving and are then encouraged and asked to make a gift and contribution as a part of the Campaign to the Student Affairs Fund. The reason for this is simple. Private support of legal education is vital to our school’s success! Staying involved, in this capacity, even with a small annual gift helps strengthen our school and fulfills the commitment made to being part of a noble and learned profession.
This year, alumni supporters of the law school, Michael '80 and MaryEllen ’82 Bishop, are challenging the graduating class to increase participation in the Campaign through a matching gift challenge. Both MaryEllen and Michael are partners at the firm of Cohen Garelick and Glazier. Both are long-time supporters of their alma mater---not only financially but, as volunteers as well. The funds raised by the graduating student Class Action Campaigns will impact the everyday life of students at the law school. Funds from prior years have been used to refurbish student lockers, to purchase a TV for the student lounge, and to support other programs for the entire student body.
Members of the Class of 2011 are encouraged to give their tax deductible gifts online by April 21st. Graduating students can contact Jacob Manaloor '03 in the Office of Development with any questions. He can be reached by e-mail at jmanalor@iupui.edu or by phone at 317-278-9745. Students can make their gift online or by visiting the law school’s home page and clicking the Bishop Challenge link! Gift and pledge forms can be obtained in the Office of Student Affairs or Development Office or online.

The Challenge
In today’s economy, one can hardly imagine a day without energy. From home appliances and computers to heating systems and the vehicles we use to commute and transport materials and products, we need energy sources to generate power and sustain our lives and economy. Yet traditional sources of power are increasingly vulnerable. America relies chiefly on fossil fuels that are acquired at a rising economic, societal, and public health costs. Our energy supplies are ever more expensive and at risk. And the price we pay enriches foreign powers that do not always share American interests.
Energy is one of the greatest national security challenges facing our country today. But energy is not a problem that can be addressed by the federal government acting alone. State and local governments and their citizens have a unique responsibility to shape their energy policy in a way that will advance national security. States also have an opportunity to pursue alternatives that will strengthen their own economies. Innovation and competitive solutions have the potential to build Midwestern business and create sustainable jobs for generations into the future.
The March 25 Forum on “National Energy Security: Challenges and Opportunities for the Midwest” is an opportunity to engage state leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts in a discussion of the energy security challenge. The forum will begin with a discussion of national energy security issues and a review of how those issues affect Midwestern states. Energy security will be placed in regional context and alternatives for state and local leaders in the Midwest will be highlighted. This initial discussion will be followed by panels on transit and the power grid that will highlight specific opportunities and innovations in these two important energy policy areas.
This is a public event, and all are welcome to attend. Continuing Legal Education credit is available for members of the Indiana Bar and other state bars (pending approval). Register on line

Professor Robert Pape, an expert in international security, will speak at the law school on March 3 at 5:30 p.m. in the Wynne Courtroom. Pape is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. His recent book, Cutting the Fuse, published in October of 2010, offers a wealth of new knowledge about the origins of suicide terrorism and strategies to stop it. In the book, Professor Pape, along with his co-author, James K. Feldman, and the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism, examine every suicide terrorist attack worldwide from 1980 to 2009, nearly 2200 attacks in all. Their work fundamentally changes how we understand the root causes of the most important terrorist campaigns today and reveals that America's "War on Terror" has been frustrating and at times counterproductive.
Professor Pape’s other publications include Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (Random House 2005); Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War (Cornell 1996), "Why Economic Sanctions Do Not Work," International Security (1997), "The Determinants of International Moral Action," International Organization (1999); "The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism," American Political Science Review (2003); and "Soft Balancing against the United States," International Security (2005).
His commentary on international security policy has appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, New Republic, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, as well as on Nightline, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and National Public Radio. Before coming to Chicago in 1999, he taught international relations at Dartmouth College for five years and air power strategy for the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies for three years. He received his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago in 1988 and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pittsburgh in 1982. His current work focuses on the causes of suicide terrorism and the politics of unipolarity.

Three of the topics are approved for CLE credit. They include:
Distracted Driving in the High-Tech Age
Matthew Nagle, Senior Policy Analyst, Indiana University Public Policy Institute
Over 800,000 drivers are using a cell phone or some other electronic device at any given time during the day (11 percent of all drivers). Nearly four percent of all crashes and near-crashes are the result of a driver distracted by cell phone use. Public opinion surveys have found that cell phone use is viewed as a dangerous driving action, yet the admitted rates of cell phone use by those same respondents is relatively high. Clearly, drivers exhibit a gap in risk perception that causes them to view cell phone use while driving as dangerous, but only when other people are doing it. In response, many states have implemented bans on cell phone use while driving, but the effects of these laws has been minimal on curbing the behavior. Why? In this seminar, Nagle will discuss the effects (or lack thereof) of bans on cell phone use while driving have on actual behavior. Included will be a discussion of how the driver’s mind is affected when using a cell phone, how crash risk and outcomes change, as well as differences in risk perception across age groups. Nagle will highlight key findings from other states that have implemented cell phone bans and will offer insight into how and why changes in driver behavior occur.
Social Media Bootcamp
Kenan L. Farrell, Attorney, CEO, KLF Legal
Recent years have seen the emergence of “social media law,” a legal field encompassing many distinct areas of law including intellectual property, employment, defamation, privacy, etc. This session will help you navigate the promises and pitfalls of the rapidly evolving social media landscape, highlight emerging trends for 2011 and beyond, and discuss the proper role and involvement of the law in social media initiatives. In addition to useful tips and tools, attendees will learn to minimize the inherent risks of social media while maximizing the benefits. This session will be appropriate for anyone interested in learning how to use social media effectively.
Technology, Licensing and the Future of the Music Industry
Fred J. Rees, Chair, Department of Music and Arts Technology, School of Engineering and Technology
Kevin R. Erdman, Partner, Baker & Daniels, LLP
Music students face a transformed music industry in the twenty-first century. Long adhered to business arrangements with performers and recording studio are being changed at their core because of the dynamics of new technology and changing legal landscape. From downloading piracy to smart software and technologies, large recording companies’ power is being eroded. Alternative distribution conduits for artist’s music is creating a lot of chaos and doubt as to what to do next to protect composers and recording artists. Understanding some of the legal basics of copyright and licensing in these new technologies is essential to navigating the future music industry. Many who make money in music are creating downloadable apps and gaming-type software. The Internet provides an opportunity for music events, public or recorded, to have interaction between audience and performer. This session examines the legal framework and the potential for musicians to capitalize and thrive in the new technology environment.

The Indiana Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Putnam County Sheriff v. Price
Summary of the case: An injured motorist sued the sheriff for negligently failing to warn motorists of a known hazard on a county highway, and when the sheriff argued that he had no such duty and moved to dismiss, the trial court denied the motion to dismiss. In this interlocutory appeal, the Court of Appeals affirmed. Putnam County Sheriff v. Price, 930 N.E.2d 669 (Ind. 2010), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.

Following an assessment of state governments’ current systems, the Fellows will identify successful, real-world examples of service coordination and delivery from Indiana and other states. Examples such as privatization, revenue generation beyond taxation, and social entrepreneurship will be explored. State governments’ use, or potential to benefit from modern research, including intrinsic motivation and commons research will also be examined. A broad range of government efforts toward service delivery, from providing services to children with disabilities to education to judicial reform, will be considered.

Professor George Edwards and the Program in International Human Rights Law will be hosting two female law enforcers and a nongovernment organization official from the Philippines from 3-4 pm on Friday, June 25, 2010, to tackle the global human trafficking issue.
The event is open to the public and will take place in room 267 of the law school (530 West New York Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202). Refreshments will be served.
Sponsored by the U.S. State Department pursuant to its Countering Trafficking in Persons project for the Philippines, the three visitors include:
- Ms. Yehlen Chiu Agus
- Ms. Girlie Gay Sequino Sanado
- Mr. Jerome Aguila Alcantara
Ms. Agus serves as an agent of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the Philippines’ premier law enforcement agency. Ms. Agus works with the NBI’s Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division. Ms. Agus undertakes undercover missions to bust international human smuggling syndicates operating in the Southeast Asian archipelago. In 2007, she and her fellow NBI operatives arrested in an entrapment operation a Malaysian and a Filipino national for recruiting young women in the southern islands of Mindanao to work as entertainers without securing government permits. The NBI agents rescued 10 females, including children, following the entrapment.
Ms. Agus also conducts raids of cybersex dens in Metro Manila, the country’s national capital region as well as participates in the rescue of female trafficking survivors.
Ms. Sanado, on the other hand, prides herself as a decorated officer of the Philippine National Police (PNP), having earned four medals of merit and almost 30 commendations from the police force and other government entities. Ms. Sanado’s achievement as the topnotcher in the PNP Junior Leadership Course remains unsurpassed to this day.
Ms. Sanado handles women’s and children’s cases as an officer of the PNP Women’s and Children’s Concerns Desk. Her crime-solving expertise earned her the Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service (COPS) award in 2007. Ms. Sanado also sits as a regular member of the Philippines’ National Technical Working Group on Anti-Trafficking, sponsored by USAID/American Solidarity Center.
Mr. Alcantara heads the resource center of the Visayan Forum Foundation, Inc. (VFF), which provides reintegration programs benefitting trafficking victims. Mr. Alcantara supervises the VFF’s national and regional planning and consultation conferences for law enforcers and concerned government agencies to help prevent and arrest the problem of trafficking in persons, especially children. Mr. Alcantara has participated in various trainings and consultation sessions in India, Thailand, and Nigeria to help curb the exploitation of child laborers, especially girls.
The three are visiting Indiana from June 24-28 as part of the US State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program. The State Department aims to impart to the visitors the latest “methods and best practices to help prevent trafficking in persons.” It also seeks to share with them new “anti-trafficking law enforcement techniques” and “methods for effective inter-agency communication.”
The International Institute Graduate School arranged this program which was coordinated with the PIHRL by Peter Kirkwood of the International Center of Indianapolis.

The Third Annual Spring Environmental Law Symposium, "Indiana's Water Future - Crisis or Cooperation?" will occur on April 1, 2010, and will focus on conflict, scarcity, and the quality of state water resources.
Register Online
Water resources are vital to Indiana’s public health and well-being as well as the state’s future economic growth. Yet continued access to clean water supplies cannot be taken for granted. Increased scarcity, discharges from industrial, municipal and agricultural sources, and the likelihood of long-term changes to precipitation cycles and climate all create pressures that state leaders must address. And increased water demand, including competition from neighboring states for shared water supplies, make the need to secure Indiana’s water even more acute.
Three panels will address recent and developing challenges to state and local water supplies – with an emphasis on the legal frameworks through which those supplies are managed and protected.
Panel one will address the controversy over a proposal by Veolia Water to trench and resurface portions of the central canal which runs seven miles through the city. The controversy raised questions of who “owns” the canal and how it should be operated and maintained consistent with community values.
Panel two looks at ongoing ‘water wars’ among Georgia, Alabama, Florida – and now Tennessee – over increasing scarcity, demand, and allocation of interstate water resources. In light of these conflicts, the panel will consider how the same challenges may arise, and could be addressed, in Indiana.
Panel three will examine public health threats arising from water quality changes and water-borne disease associated with climate change. Panelists will discuss the range of challenges that can be brought on by climate and precipitation changes, and will explore what Indiana policymakers can do today to mitigate problems in the future.

William Wilberforce is not well known in today's generation, which is a shame. The modern issue advocacy and social justice campaigns have their roots in his campaign to abolish the slave trade. His work inspired and influenced Lincoln, the US abolitionists, and the civil rights movement.
The Black Law Student Association, Christian Legal Society, Amnesty International, and Equal Justice Works are proud to host two free screenings of "Amazing Grace" the story of William Wilberforce, John Newton, and the abolition of the slave trade throughout the British Empire. If nothing else, come for the FREE FOOD.
Law students and professors will also be encouraged to see how a little lawyerly creativity in the legislative process was also helpful in getting abolition over the finish line.
This movie shows at least one example of how religious faith had a positive influence on society, but all those of any religious faith or no religious faith will find this movie uplifting and educational.

The Power of One U.S. Supreme Court Case: Plyler v. Doe
Decided in 1982, this case guarantees children of immigrants the right to attend public school. This presentation examines the Plyler opinion, to uncover its unique anaylsis and its historical context. Moving to the present, this presentation surveys the obstacles that immigrant students face in their quest for further schooling and analysis pending legislative proposals, such as the federal DREAM Act, which aim to provide these students access to higher education. The presentation concludes with a discussion of what lies in the future for the children of immigrants in the U.S., mostly in the form of potential immigration and educational reform.
Professor Antony Page
Making Money & Making a Difference: Can Law Help the Social Entrepreneur Transform the World?
The "social entrepreneur," someone trying to solve social problems with business methods, has received quite a bit of attention, such as Muhammad Yunus' 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, speeches by Bill Gates, the recent Papal Encylical, and both Business Week's and Fast Company Magazine's top 25 lists. Proponents argue that social entrepreneurs are "New Heroes" who will transform the world, whereas skeptics dismiss them as a fad or mere "semantic bubble." This presentation looks at whether and how law can assist the social entrepreneur to both make money and make a difference, and perhaps encourage more business founders to embrace pro-social goals.

Speaker: Juan Melendez
Time: 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
Location: Conour Atrium
Contact: Andrea Ciobanu at andreacioban@yahoo.com
Juan Roberto Melendez-Colon spent seventeen years, eight months and one day on Florida’s death row for a crime he did not commit. He will speak about his experience at the law school on January 12th (12:30 p.m. in the Conour Atrium). The documentary about his time on death row, Juan Melendez 6446 , will be shown in the atrium at 4:30 p.m. that same day (in the Conour Atrium). The event is free and open to the public.
Upon his exoneration and release from death row on January 3, 2002, he became the 99th death row inmate in the country to be exonerated and released since 1973. There was no physical evidence ever linking Juan to the crime. His conviction and death sentence hinged on the testimony of two questionable witnesses. Despite his innocence, Juan's conviction and death sentence were upheld on appeal three times by the Florida Supreme Court. In September of 2000, sixteen years after Juan was convicted and sentenced to death, a long-forgotten transcript of a taped confession of the real killer, was fortuitously discovered. Ultimately, it came to light that the real killer made statements to no less than sixteen individuals either directly confessing to the murder or stating that Juan was not involved. In a seventy-two page opinion in which she overturned Juan's conviction and death sentence and ordered a new trial, Judge Barbara Fleischer went to tremendous lengths to show that an innocent man was on death row. She reprimanded the prosecutor for withholding “crucial” evidence pertaining to the credibility of the State’s two critical witnesses and she set forth in meticulous detail the “newly discovered evidence,” including numerous confessions and incriminating statements made by the real killer to family, friends, law enforcement officers, investigators and attorneys that substantiated the defense theory that Juan was innocent. Without admitting any wrongdoing, the State of Florida declined to pursue a new trial against Juan, not because it recognized Juan was innocent, but because it no longer had any evidence to support a conviction: one of its key witnesses had recanted and the other had died. Upon his release from death row, the State of Florida sent Juan on his way with $100, a pair of pants and a T-shirt.
Since his release from death row, without bitterness, anger or hatred towards those responsible for wrongfully convicting and sentencing him to death, Juan has traveled throughout the United States, Canada and Europe sharing his story of supreme injustice, courage, faith and hope.
Juan has spoken at numerous conventions, conferences and symposia, including the Second World Congress Against the Death Penalty, in Montreal, Canada, October 2004, the national LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) convention in San Antonio, Texas, July 2004, Capital Defense Seminar, Monterey, California, March 2004, Amnesty International national conferences, New York, 2004 and Atlanta, 2003 (keynote speaker), and NCADP (National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty) national conferences in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, January, 2008, San Jose, California, January 2007, Washington D.C., October, 2004 (keynote speaker) Nashville, Tennessee, October 2003 and Chicago, Illinois, October 2002 (keynote speaker). On December 10, 2008, a documentary depicting Juan's story, "Juan Melendez 6446," debuted in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The documentary has since been screened at the New York Latino International Film Festival, the Montreal World Film Festival, the Document 7 International Human Rights Film Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, a select Television Film Festival in Madrid, Spain, and most recently at an International Film Festival in La Habana, Cuba. Juan has appeared on the Cristina and Don Francisco Presenta talk shows and frequently participates in media interviews (English and Spanish).
Juan Melendez is a board member of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Witness to Innocence, a steering committee member of the New Mexico Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty, and international spokesperson for the Association in Defense of the Wrongfully Convicted.
Mr. Melendez’ attorney, Judi Caruso, will also be present at the event. She is a criminal defense lawyer and human rights activist, originally from Belfast, N. Ireland. In 1993, she graduated from the University of New Mexico School of Law and received the Friedman, Boyd and Daniels award for excellence in criminal law. Upon graduation, she clerked for United States District Judge Martha Vazquez. In 1997, after attending a presentation by Texas death row exoneree Randal Dale Adams, Judi became intensively involved in the New Mexico death penalty abolition movement in a volunteer capacity. Since 1998 she has served on the steering and government committees of the New Mexico Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty. Between 2000-2004 she was outreach coordinator for Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation-NM, an organization of murder victims' families in New Mexico who oppose the death penalty. In this capacity, Judi coordinated numerous educational outreach activities as part of the state-wide grassroots campaign and coordinated the legislative testimonies of murder victims' families opposed to the death penalty. In 2004, Judi, together with death row exoneree Juan Melendez, founded Juan Melendez Voices United for Justice. Judi has been the Director of this organization since 2004 during which time she has coordinated hundreds of speaking events and media interviews for Mr. Melendez and has participated with Mr. Melendez in numerous speaking engagements throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Judi was elected to the Board of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty in 2004 and served on the board until 2008. Between 2005-2009, Judi worked closely in an advisory capacity with New Mexico Representative Gail Chasey who tirelessly sponsored the New Mexico death penalty repeal bill since 1999. Between 2002 and 2009, Judi engaged in an ongoing series of dialogues on the death penalty with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson who ultimately signed the repeal bill into law in March, 2009. As a fluent Spanish and French speaker, Judi is frequently called upon by Spanish and French-language media to address death penalty issues.

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” These first few famous words of the 60-year old Universal Declaration of Human Rights form the basis of international human rights law. Yet today, millions of people around the globe endure daily human rights violations, including here in Indiana.
Indianapolis non-profit organization, Human Rights Works, Inc., along with the Indiana School of Law- Indianapolis (IU-Indy) Program in International Human Rights Law (PIHRL) will celebrate Human Rights Day by hosting a free event on Friday 4 December 2009 at the Indiana University School of Law- Indianapolis Atrium (530 W. New York Street), 4-6 pm. " Human Rights Day 2009: Embrace Diversity. End Discrimination" will focus on non-discrimination.
- Local human rights activist Professor Fran Quigley will give the main address.
- Indiana University – Indianapolis Law students will read poetry.
- DJ, Kyle Long, will provide local and international music and entertainment.
- The event will address discrimination.
- The event will also address recent atrocities against innocent victims in The Republic of Guinea.
Admission is free. Open to the public.
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
Professor Fran Quigley is visiting Professor at IU School of Law- Indianapolis . He has many distinguished accomplishments as a champion for human rights. Professor Quigley is the Associate Director of the Indiana-Kenya Partnership/AMPATH, and co-founder of Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE), a non-governmental organization (NGO) and human rights law clinic devoted to representing HIV-positive individuals in western Kenya. He is former Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union (ICLU-ACLU).
“’ Human Rights Day 2009- Embrace Diversity. End Discrimination’ gives Indianapolis an opportunity to join the global community in reaffirming the inherent dignity of all humans,” said Kevin Munoz, Co-Founder of Human Rights work and Research Assistant to Professor George Edwards of the PIHRL.
Professor George Edwards, Director and Founder of IU-Indy’s renowned Program in International Human Rights law explains, “Observing Human Rights Day in Indianapolis is extremely important. Eleanor Roosevelt, who was instrumental in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, tells us why it is important. She said ‘ Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home .’ I agree with Mrs. Roosevelt. Human rights begin right here at home, in Indianapolis. Our Annual Human Rights Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on how each of us is entitled to human rights, freedom and dignity. This year is our second Annual Human Rights Day Celebration. I hope we continue to celebrate Human Rights Day for years to come.”

The debate will center on the issues surrounding the American Needle case in the U.S. Supreme Court involving whether professional sports leagues are single firms or a collection of competitors for antitrust purposes. This program, which takes place in the Wynne Courtroom, will carry one hour of CLE credit (pending approval).
In American Needle v. NFL, the plaintiff, a licensee of intellectual property for purposes of producing hats with team logos, sued the league when its license was terminated. The league had chosen to grant an exclusive license to Reebok after Reebok won a competitive bid. American Needle's claim asserted a conspiracy among the individual NFL teams to restrain trade in violation of Section One of the Sherman Act. If it proved its claim, American Needle stood to win three times the harm it suffered, in addition to costs and attorney fees. American Needle lost on the ground that the NFL was a single entity, unable to conspire with itself. Any agreement among the teams was "intra-enterprise," and did not rise to the level of the "contract, combination or conspiracy" that Section One requires. The rule in American Needle is an extension of the Supreme Court's holding in Copperweld that a parent and a subsidiary corporation, because of their unity of purpose, cannot be held to have conspired in violation of Section One. The result of the holdings in cases like Copperweld and American Needle is to immunize conduct from the antitrust laws.
The Supreme Court has granted certiorari in American Needle and will hear the case in December or January. An opinion can be expected no later than June. We are holding a debate, with Dean Gary Roberts taking the position that the Seventh Circuit was correct to treat the NFL as a single entity; Professor Max Huffman taking the position that the Seventh Circuit erred; and Professor Antony Page moderating.

One hour of CLE credit available (pending approval)
The Honorable Paul J. De Muniz began his career as a deputy public defender and entered private law practice in 1977 as attorney and partner at Garrett Seideman Hemann Robertson & De Muniz in Salem, Oregon. In 1990 he was appointed to the Oregon Court of Appeals. He was elected to the Oregon Supreme Court in 2001 and elected the court’s 41st chief justice in January of 2006. Throughout his distinguished career, Chief Justice De Muniz has championed issues related to access to justice, fundamental fairness in courts, and enforcement of the rule of law in the United States and around the world. He gained national recognition for his successful pro bono representation of a migrant worker wrongfully convicted of murder. That case publicized how linguistic and cultural differences can unfairly penalize immigrants in the American justice system and led to significant state and national legal reform. In 2002, Justice De Muniz founded a now-flourishing rule of law partnership with judicial leaders in the Russian Far East, assisting judicial leaders, lawyers and law professors in implementing legal reforms to promote the enforcement of the rule of law in Russia. In 2008, Justice De Muniz was elected to the Board of Directors of the Conference of Chief Justices and was recently selected as one of eight chief justices to attend a three-year Harvard University Executive Session studying the role of state court leaders. Justice De Muniz was raised in Portland and attended Portland public schools. After high school he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served in Vietnam (1968-1969). He earned his B.S. degree from Portland State University in 1972 and his J.D. from Willamette University in 1975. He has served on Willamette University College of Law’s Board of Visitors since 1995, Willamette’s Board of Trustees since 2006, and has taught “Oregon Criminal Procedure and Practice” at Willamette since 2004.

Speaker: Her Excellency, Minister Moushira Khattab, Ministry of State for Family and Population of Egypt
Time: 7:00 P.M.
Location: Cairo University Campus
On Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 7 pm, 19 students will become the first group of candidates for degree conferral from the Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis LL.M. – Egypt Program. Graduation candidates, their families, school officials and program guests will attend a commencement ceremony held in the Faculty Theater on the Cairo University campus. These graduation candidates received an American style legal education, taught by the faculty and adjunct faculty of IU Law-Indianapolis in newly renovated facilities and with the same technology found in American law school classrooms through funding received by USAID - Egypt.
Since January of 2008, the Indiana University School of Law–Indianapolis Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree program has been offered to students at program sites located on the Alexandria and Cairo University Faculties of Law. Pursuant to a grant award from USAID – Egypt, Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis entered into formal agreements with both the Faculties of Law at Cairo 
and Alexandria University to offer the International and Comparative Law track of its LL.M. Program (with a curricular emphasis in international business and commercial law) to qualified Egyptian nationals onsite in Egypt. Through these collaborative efforts, and the financial backing of USAID – Egypt, the IU School of Law - Indianapolis became the first and only U.S. law school to offer a graduate law degree program in the Middle East. To date, the Egypt Program has just over 100 students enrolled in classes at its program sites on both collaborative partner campuses. The program expects to hold its next graduation ceremony in late spring 2010 for approximately 75 students.
Graduates of the program are anticipated to play a significant role in on-going efforts to improve Egypt’s overall economy and the legal system. According to the project director, Professor Dr. Frank Emmert, "USAID is working with Egyptian officials to help ‘rewrite’ or modernize that country’s legislation and government policies with a view toward the business sector." To do so, the country will need lawyers who are qualified to handle international business transactions, modern corporate laws and commercial transactions and to that end, the U.S. Master of Laws Program offered by the law school will target graduates of the four-year bachelor of laws programs at the two Egyptian universities, along with currently practicing attorneys and judges in Egypt.
Gary Roberts, Dean of the IU School of Law – Indianapolis says, "Through this program, the IU School of Law - Indianapolis will play a central role in building bridges between the Middle East and the U.S. as our graduates become legal, political, and business leaders in Egypt and other countries around the Middle East, a region of the world that has become of critical importance to the United States."

The event features local human rights expert Professor George Edwards, a documentary preview on human rights and street children, a silent auction featuring local artwork, and entertainment provided by Motus Dance Theatre and DJ Kyle Long. The event is open to the general public. Ticket s are $10 per person at the door.
The benefit celebration of the UDHR launches the newly established Human Rights Works, Inc., an organization that aims to empower the community of Indianapolis to address human rights issues locally and globally through education, local action, and hands-on experience. Human Rights Works (HWR) Co-founder and Executive Director, Marina Waters, explains, “This event is designed to create connections between local organizations, educators, public agencies and the general public around local and international human rights issues.”
“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a timeless document. It enshrines self-evident truths that all humans are created equally and are endowed with inherent dignity and inalienable rights. Indianapolis moves in solidarity with the rest of the world in celebrating a document that declares liberty, equality and justice for all,” says HRW Co-Founder and Human Rights Education Program Director, Kevin Mu ñ oz.
The 60th Anniversary Benefit Celebration will have both a local and international theme. It begins at 7 P.M. with a silent auction featuring donations by artists and local businesses, including Artur Silva, Byran Moore, Sara Zeta Zuckerman, Invoke Yoga Studio, and Mass Ave. vendors. Event proceeds will benefit the Children of the Andes Foundation, an organization providing support to children living and working on the street.

It will be released in Spring 2009 for use in public education projects.
After the preview, Prof. George E. Edwards, Carl M. Gray Professor of Law and Director of the Program in International Human Rights Law of IU School of Law- Indianapolis will address the historical relevance and modern day application of the UDHR.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND THE EMERGENCY ECONOMIC STABILIZATION ACT OF 2008
IU SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS
October 23, 2008 * 4-5:30 p.m.
Wynne Courtroom
Abstract:
Foreclosures rise. The stock market plummets. Credit markets freeze. Huge companies go bankrupt or are effectively nationalized. Former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan says we’re in a “once-in-a-century” financial crisis. Politicians and pundits predict a depression.
Economic problems tracing their roots to a crisis in the financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide have become a foremost concern for individual members of the public; their representatives in government at all levels and in all jurisdictions; corporate entities and financial institutions; and professionals charged by their clients with advising on the crisis. One salutary phenomenon of the economic crisis is the unparalleled degree to which the public has sought to grasp the intricacies of the causes and likely impacts of the crisis. But the subject matter is exceedingly complex and much of the information available is shallow, incomplete and/or inaccurate. A non-exhaustive list of the problems to be understood begins with the functioning of the securities markets and the manner in which in recent weeks those markets have produced a downward spiral across wide swaths of the U.S. economy. Underlying those issues are the lending, loan guarantee, and securitization practices that created the assets underlying devalued financial instruments. A still stronger lens shows practices of disclosure and deception on the part of loan originators, and irrational optimism and irresponsible borrowing by borrowers, and the regulatory failings that have permitted bad loans to be created and widespread defaults to occur. Then there are questions of the impacts of the crisis. One, already beginning to be felt, is the freezing up of credit markets. The shortage of credit impacts, among others, state and local governments dependent on issuing debt instruments to finance their activities.
Members of the faculty of law at the IU School of Law – Indianapolis will gather to discuss their analyses of those issues and to answer questions in a roundtable discussion format.
Panelists:
- Cynthia A. Baker, Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Director, Program on Law and State Government
- Nicholas L. Georgakopoulos, Harold R. Woodard Professor of Law
- Max Huffman, Associate Professor of Law
- Antony Page, Associate Professor of Law and Dean’s Fellow
- Lloyd T. Wilson, Jr., Professor of Law and Chair-Elect, AALS Section on Real Estate Transactions
Agenda:
- Opening Remarks and Panelist Introductions
- Remarks:
- Professor Page: From mortgage crisis to financial meltdown
- Professor Wilson: Understanding the mortgage crisis
- Professor Huffman: Consumer credit ramifications
- Professor Baker: Impacts on state and local government finance
- Professor Georgakopoulos: From financial crisis to . . . (Great Depression?)
- Discussion and audience questions (facilitated by a moderator)
Administrative Matters:

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.

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.

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.

Award-winning author, law professor and speaker David Cole talks about his new book, a critique of the Bush administration's "preventive paradigm" in the "war on terror." Professor Cole demonstrates that the post-9/11 turn to preventive coercion has not only sacrificed some of our most fundamental principles, but has actually made us less secure from threats of terrorism.
"This compelling, necessary volume demolishes the doctrine of preemptive self defense as a dangerous oxymoron, whose acceptance will surely render us less safe, less free, less American, and less able to lead globally through the rule of law."
-Harold Hongju Koh, Dean of Yale Law School
Parking is available for a nominal fee at the Natatorium Garage two blocks west of the law school.

Associate Professor Gerard N. Magliocca gave a talk at the George Washington University Law School on April 5, discussing his new book on a critical period of American history, Andrew Jackson and the Constitution: The Rise and Fall of Generational Regimes (University Press of Kansas). His talk will be broadcast on C-SPAN2 on Sunday, April 29 at 6:30 am.
According to the publisher, "Magliocca reinterprets the legal landmarks of the Jacksonian era to demonstrate how the meaning of the Constitution evolves in a cyclical and predictable fashion. ... Offering intriguing parallels between Jackson and George W. Bush regarding the scope of executive power, Magliocca has produced a rich synthesis of history, political science, and law that revives our understanding of an entire era and its controversies, while providing a model of constitutional law applicable to any period." "This is a truly distinguished contribution to our constitutional understanding, combining theory and history in an exemplary fashion.
