The Honorable Paul J. De Muniz, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Oregon, will speak on "The Challenge of Maintaining Courts During a Recession" on November 10, 2009 in the Wynne Courtroom. The law school thanks the Indiana Supreme Court for sponsoring this program.

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.
The law school thanks the Indiana Supreme Court for sponsoring this program.

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."

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.
Following the auction, a preview of a human rights education documentary project produced by Indiana School of Law- Indianapolis alumni Robert Masbaum, Kevin Mu ñ oz and Tim Staggs will be viewed. Masbaum, recipient of the 2007 Lilly Foundation’s Creative Teacher Fellowship, worked with Children of the Andes Foundation and other international organizations to produce the documentary “Derechos del Nino” (Rights of the Child). The film includes exclusive interviews with street children in Latin America and expert commentary from international human rights lawyer s , local community leaders and activists. 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:
1. Opening Remarks and Panelist Introductions
2. 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?)
3. Discussion and audience questions (facilitated by a moderator)
Administrative Matters:
Parking is available for a fee in the Sports Garage two blocks west of the law school off New York Street.
CLE Credit: Applications for CLE credit will be made available at the event. Due to the short time available for preparation, advance approval has not been possible. Application for credit will be the responsibility of each attendee.
Webcast: IU School of Law – Indianapolis will make a digital recording of the roundtable discussion available for public viewing on the law school internet website at a later date, www.indylaw.indiana.edu.
Media inquiries: Members of the media are encouraged to contact Jonna MacDougall, Assistant Dean for Institutional Advancement, at (317) 274-1908 with any inquiries.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Speaker: Professor Gerard Magliocca speaks on his book.
Time: 6:30 am

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).

Can an art portfolio enhance an investment portfolio? That topic will be addressed by Professor Michael A. Moses, who, along with his colleague, Professor Jianping Mei, has created
an independent fine art index to track the prices of works sold at auction. The Mei/Moses Fine Art Indices ™ track the tenor of the art market from 1875 to today. Their research findings have been published in the American Economic Review, Journal of Finance and the Journal of Investment Consulting, as well as leading print and broadcast financial
media. Professor Moses has been a faculty member at NYU's Stern School of Business for 30 years. His ongoing research involves pricing the priceless: predicting success and failure in the New York auction market for impressionist and modern paintings as well as the role that momentum investing and price leadership may have on the art auction market.
An introduction to Professor Moses’ lecture, and an overview of local art initiatives, will be provided by Mindy Taylor Ross, Director of Public Art for the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

All students and faculty are invited. Kirk Bloodsworth was the first death row inmate to be exonerated by DNA evidence. He had been convicted of the sexual assault and strangulation of a nine year old girl. Mr. Bloodsworth was convicted and sentenced to death in March of 1985 after five witnesses testified that they had seen him with the victim. The original conviction was overturned by the appellate court and he was retired, convicted, and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. In 1992, DNA testing was performed on the biological evidence and the results excluded Kirk Bloodsworth. He was released from prison in June 1993 and pardoned in December of that year. Mr. Bloodsworth will be joined by John Terzano, President of the Justice Project. John and Kirk, coworkers in the death penalty reform movement, will speak about Kirk's story and the errors it highlights in the criminal justice system.

"Countdown to an Execution": documentary film and panel discussion featuring former Indiana Governor Joe Kernan
Monday, February 28
2:00 p.m.
Wynne Courtroom
There will be a special premiere of "Countdown to an Execution," an A&E documentary (scheduled to air March 16) about the Indiana capital case of Darnell Williams. After the film, former Indiana Governor Joe Kernan will offer his perspectives on the case and capital punishment generally. Following the film and former Gov. Kernan's speech will be a panel discussion, featuring Juliet Yackel, Williams’s longtime lawyer; IU-Bloomington Law Professor Joe Hoffmann, Paula Sites of the Indiana Public Defenders Council, and students and staff from Northwestern's Center on Wrongful Convictions involved in the case. Indiana University-Indianapolis Law Professor and Dean Emeritus Norm Lefstein will moderate the panel discussion.
When producers of A&E's American Justice learned of the last-ditch clemency effort on behalf of Darnell Williams, they launched the project that would culminate in "Countdown to an Execution." The show captures the drama of events leading up to Governor Kernan's decision to commute Williams's sentence to life without parole, five days before his scheduled execution.

Scotland has a mixed civil and common law tradition that generates scholarly interest as a model for reconciling the legal systems of the UK and continental Europe. Scotland’s procedural laws have features of common law systems but they are defined in broad rather than detailed terms, rely to a large extent on lightly structured judicial discretion and do not provide for discovery. The litigation culture therefore allows secrecy and surprise, which can foster polarised positions, often until the 11th hour of facts emerging at trial.
In this culture, mediation has seemed alien to some Scottish lawyers and their clients, wary of disclosing information before trial. Yet Scottish parties have taken control of their disputes in the past, favouring arbitration over litigation from as early as the 12th century, and spurning to this day detailed arbitration laws in favour of party autonomy in setting the procedures. Recent research reveals that Scots desire practical, accessible and effective methods of resolving justiciable problems. This lecture examines what conceptual linkages can be drawn between the choices and risks that are found in procedural laws and the choices and risks involved in mediation, and explores scope for their alignment to enhance understanding and choices about mediation in Scotland and elsewhere.

Four speakers will discuss the law's difficulties in accommodating Native Americans' spirituality of land. American law has had great difficulty using its European categories of religion and rights to take account of Native notions of land as sacred. Whether the law in question is the First Amendment's Free Exercise of Religion Clause, property law, or law related to sacred sites, there has been tension between the law and Native religion. Speakers will include Native Americans and professors of law and criminal justice.
