"The law school's proximity to the heart of Indiana's government affords significant strategic and practical advantages to the Program on Law and State Government's goals. Ultimately, the program serves as a vehicle to bring students, the law school, and the community of state government policy makers together in an academic forum for public debate and analysis of the legal issues facing state governments."

Cynthia Baker, Director
Program on Law and State Government

The Program on Law and State Government Fellowships provide extra curricular opportunity for law students to study and research critical legal and regulatory issues facing state governments in exchange for a tuition credit of up to $5,000. Working with the guidance and assistance of the Director of the Program on Law and State Government, fellowship responsibilities include developing and sharing their scholarship and hosting an academic event addressing the fellows' collaboratively chosen fellowship topic. Fellowships are designed to support students in their research and study of critical legal and regulatory issues facing state and local governments. The Program on Law and State Government will assist fellows' efforts to publish or otherwise distribute their academic papers to interested academic, legal, or state government communities.

2012 Fellowship Topic:

State Governments' Role in the Economic Development of Advanced Manufacturing and Small Business

The 2012 Program on Law and State Government fellows are exploring state governments' role in supporting economic development, focusing specifically on laws, policies, and government infrastructure that influence advanced manufacturing and small businesses.  The fellows are devoting the spring semester to research on this topic, including interviewing government officials, lawyers, economists, and policy makers on how and why state governments invest public dollars toward these two growth sectors.  On Friday, September 28th, 2012, the Program on Law and State Government plans to host an academic symposium that will bring the results of the fellows' work to our legal community.
