A magna cum laude graduate of the law school, where he served as an articles editor for the Indiana Law Review , Joel Schumm joined the faculty in the fall of 2001. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Professor Schumm spent the three years after graduation in judicial clerkships, first with the Honorable Theodore R. Boehm of the Indiana Supreme Court and then the Honorable Paul D. Mathias of the Indiana Court of Appeals.

Professor Schumm is actively involved with the bench, the bar, and the legal writing academic community. He directs the law school’s Judicial Externship Program and has served as a member or chair of the faculty clerkship committee since his appointment to the faculty. He serves as co-chair of the Indiana State Bar Association’s Written Publications Committee and writes a bi-monthly column for the state bar journal, Res Gestae .
