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.

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.

Craig Haney’s research concerns the application of social psychological principles and data to various legal and civil rights issues.

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.

LESS SAFE, LESS FREE:
Why America Is Losing the War on Terror
Featuring:
David Cole
Professor, Georgetown University Law Center,
and American Book Award-winning Author
Wednesday, October 3, 2007
5:30pm
Indiana University School of Law
Moot Court Room
530 W. New York Street
Indianapolis, Indiana
A reception and book signing will follow in the Atruim.
Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP here.
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.
After the general event, there will be a meeting for IU-Indy law students interested in forming a chapter of the American Constitution Society at the Law School. If you are interested in forming an ACS chapter, please contact Professor Robert Katz at rokatz@iupui.edu, and check out ACS’s website at http://www.acslaw.org .

Speaker: Professor Gerard Magliocca speaks on his book.
Time: 6:30 am
Location: C-SPAN2
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. If you are going to read one book about our Constitution this year, read Magliocca's."— Bruce Ackerman (Yale Law School).
