AN INVESTMENT IN AN INDIANA LAW GRADUATE IS AN

INVESTMENT IN A WELL-ROUNDED PROFESSIONAL

F

For almost 175 years, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law has stood with the nation’s

greatest public law schools, preparing students to become accomplished, ethical lawyers and

leaders. In recent years, we have emerged as an innovator in legal education, with a curriculum

that meets the demands of a changing profession.

But we do more than that. Equally important are the contributions of our school to the economic

and social well-being of our society. Through our global and domestic externship programs,

public-interest clinics, and first-hand interactions with alumni, our students learn early on about

the power of a law degree in achieving justice and effecting change.

Every year, our graduates choose careers in major markets throughout the country, such as

Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Typically about two-thirds of our graduates are hired by

employers outside the state of Indiana.

An Indiana Law education offers another important dimension that gives our graduates an added

edge: the opportunity to develop their professional identity. Our students learn the skills that

lawyers need but don’t usually acquire in school, such as resilience, judgment, time management,

and collaboration. Our faculty act as role models and caring mentors, and our alumni are deeply

invested in paying their success forward to the next generation of alumni. This combination

of classroom study, hands-on learning, and professional development creates an educational

experience for our students that few other schools in the country can match.

When you hire an Indiana Law graduate, you’ll be investing in a well-rounded professional, ready

to hit the ground running, with a combination of Midwestern work ethic and finely honed legal

reasoning skills, sharpened by our internationally renowned faculty.

Maurer School of Law graduates bring a tradition of excellence to the legal profession. We invite

you to get acquainted with them as you chart the future of your organization.65

indiana law students:classroom-taught,hands-on experienced

In addition to their close association with faculty, Indiana Law students benefit

from a wide range of experiences — both inside and outside the classroom —

that prepare them for the legal profession.

In our unique Semester Public Interest Program, students spend half of

their 3L year in Washington, DC, working in a federal agency, on Capitol Hill,

or in a non-profit public advocacy organization, while they earn eight hours

of credit. At the same time, they meet distinguished alumni whose careers

illustrate the many aspects of the profession in the federal government.

Students interested in international law can serve as Milton Stewart

Fellows in one of eight countries in Asia or South America. The fellows get

hands-on summer experience in law firms, corporations, or non-government

organizations while earning course credit. Nearly 100 students have served as

Stewart Fellows since 2010.

Indiana University and the Law School have joined forces to offer several

joint degrees, including a JD/MBA from the Kelley School of Business’s

#22-ranked program, a JD/MPA from the #1-ranked School of Public and

Environmental Affairs, and many other options, including communications,

accounting, and public health. The Law School also offers a JD/MBA with

Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul.

Students have many opportunities throughout the year to examine the

profession in a practical context. Our Career Choices series brings alumni to

Baier Hall for informal chats over lunch in which they share their experiences,

and our innovative first-year Legal Profession course combines legal ethics

with self-assessment of interests and strengths.

All of these opportunities — together with our seven clinics, nine externships,

six student-run projects, and five research centers — round out our students’

classroom learning, giving them the extra edge of preparedness required of

today’s new lawyers.

today’s students,tomorrow’s leaders

Indiana Law students choose careers in a variety of settings

throughout the world. Here are just a few examples of the professional

paths that they have chosen.

Abishek (Jay) Chaudhary, ’09, developed an interest in mental health

advocacy while participating in the Law School’s disability law clinic. He later

secured funding to establish a medical-legal partnership with Indiana Legal

Services and Eskenazi Health, the parent of Midtown Community Health Center

in Indianapolis, and serves as its director.

Justin Agans, ’12, earned a JD/MBA and participated in our Elmore

Entrepreneurship Law Clinic before moving to Charlotte, NC, where he and

Eric Spengler, JD/MPA ’12, founded Spengler & Agans. The firm focuses on

serving local startups and entrepreneurs.

Lance Lindeen, ’12, a JD/MPA graduate and Sherman Minton Moot

Court chief justice is putting his advocacy skills to work in the Philadelphia

District Attorney’s Office.

Rubin Pusha III, ’12, president of the Black Students’ Law Association,

is now an associate in the finance, insolvency, and restructuring department at

Barnes & Thornburg’s Indianapolis office.

Nathan Harter IV, ’13, worked as an intern with his hometown

prosecutor’s office in Decatur County (Ind.) in 2012. He enjoyed the experience

so much that he successfully campaigned for the job and became Indiana’s

youngest elected prosecutor during his first year of practice.

Emily Sanchez Salcedo, SJD’13, a law professor and litigator from

the Philippines, earned a graduate degree to sharpen her teaching skills. She

recently spent eight months as a visiting scholar at two universities in Canada.

Phillips in Orange County, California.

Julie Spain, ’14, president of the Law School’s Student Bar Association, is working as a litigation and estate

planning lawyer at a small firm in Marysville, Ohio.

Jade La Croix, ’16, worked as a law clerk for the IU Foundation, was a fellow in the Office of Alumni and

Development, and served as treasurer of the Black Law Students Association. She is now with the Advisory

Services Group at Pricewaterhouse Coopers in their New York office.

indiana law faculty:preparing tomorrow’sprofessionals

A law school is only as strong as its faculty, who teach

our students, serve our communities, and conduct

ground-breaking research. Indiana Law’s faculty are

the central force in the development of our students,

acting as caring mentors and role models. Students

also benefit from our faculty’s expertise by serving as

research assistants or conferring with them informally

outside the classroom.

Our faculty have established five outstanding research

centers in information privacy and cybersecurity,

intellectual property, rule of law and constitutional

design, the global legal profession, and law and

society. We also have highly regarded programs in

tax, conservation and sustainability, and business law.

Along with our clinics, externships, and projects, our

research centers and programs provide our students

with hands-on experiences.

Professor William D. Henderson, the founding

director of our Center on the Global Legal Profession,

continues to receive accolades from the academy

and the profession for his research on the changing

landscape of the practice of law. Quoted almost daily

in the national media, he was named — for the second

year in a row — by National Jurist magazine in 2016 as

the most influential person in legal education today.

LEFT COLUMN FROM TOP: WILLIAM D. HENDERSON, FRED H. CATE, CHARLES GARDNER GEYH, HANNAH L. BUXBAUM, JAYANTH KRISHNAN. RIGHT COLUMN: CHRISTIANA OCHOA, JEANNINE BELL, MARK D. JANIS, GINA-GAIL S. FLETCHER, H. TIMOTHY LOVELACE.

Professor Fred H. Cate is one of the world’s leading experts on cybersecurity and privacy policy. He is a member of

numerous committees for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Federal Trade

Commission. He was recently named to the Council on Foreign Relations and serves as IU’s vice president for research.

Professor Charles Gardner Geyh is a regular contributor to the national debate on judicial qualification and selection.

He has been named a 2016 Andrew Carnegie Fellow — one of only 33 in the country — and will be writing a sequel

to his new book, Courting Peril: The Political Transformation of the American Judiciary, certainly one of the most

timely and important topics in today’s politically charged environment.

In addition to her acclaim as a popular contracts teacher, Professor Hannah L. Buxbaum enjoys a worldwide

reputation as an expert in international and comparative law, particularly transactions and conflicts of law. She was

recently named academic director of IU’s new Global Gateway office in Berlin.

Professor Jayanth Krishnan, the current director of the Center on the Global Legal Profession, is widely regarded

as the American leading expert on the Indian legal profession. His close ties with the bench and bar of that country

have led to life-changing summer externships for our students, while his research helps reshape its legal system.

Another CGLP faculty member, Professor and IU Associate Vice Provost Christiana Ochoa, recently completed a

documentary titled There Is Nothing Else (Otra cosa no hay), which explores the impact of gold mining on the pristine

moorlands of Colombia. Her work is shining the light on the conflict between economic prosperity and human well-

being, a theme that informs lively discussions in her course on international business transactions.

One of the nation’s foremost experts on hate crime, Professor Jeannine Bell also researches and writes on the more

recent phenomenon of move-in violence. She was recently appointed co-editor of the Law and Society Review,

having served as its associate editor and as a trustee of the Law and Society Association.

Professor Mark D. Janis, ’89, director of the Center for Intellectual Property Research, leads the school’s efforts to

capitalize on the growing demand for IP lawyers. The center’s pro bono IP clinic pairs students with Indiana startups

to protect their innovations. The clinic has been certified by the US Patent and Trademark Office in both patent and

trademark law, a distinction awarded to fewer than 10 percent of the country’s law schools.

In addition to these seasoned faculty members, our rising stars have already made an impact as teachers and

scholars. Among them are Associate Professor Gina-Gail S. Fletcher, who teaches and writes on corporate finance

and the financial markets and brings her experience as a Washington lawyer to the classroom. Associate Professor

H. Timothy Lovelace, an expert on legal history and civil rights, recently completed a Law and Public Affairs

Fellowship at Princeton University.

These are just a few of the nearly 100 engaged and interested full-time, adjunct, and affiliated faculty who call the

Law School home and who prepare our students for a life of service in their chosen profession.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND DIVERSITY: CORE VALUES OF THE INDIANA LAW COMMUNITY

Indiana Law students develop their commitment to pro bono representation early in their law school experience.

Most students achieve our guideline of providing 60 hours’ pro bono service during their three years in

Bloomington. Students contribute their time and talent in such diverse areas as immigration, inmate assistance,

domestic violence, tenant evictions, and tax assistance. In 2015-16 alone, they helped more than 950 area

residents complete their tax returns.

The Law School plays an active role in attracting an inclusive community and promoting diversity among its

student body. Our partnership with IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs

provides scholarship and mentoring to students in the university’s Hudson and Holland Scholars, Groups,

and 21st Century Scholars programs. We also work closely with the Indiana Conference for Legal Education

Opportunity, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, the Asian and Pacific Islander Scholarship Fund, and the

Thurgood Marshall College Fund to attract highly qualified candidates to the Law School.
