Abraham Lincoln said, “A lawyer’s time and advice are his stock in

trade.” This issue of ergo focuses on our alumni who donate this most

precious commodity. Their stories go well beyond the typical pro bono

work of all of us as members of the bar. The time and advice they give —

as legal experts and trusted advisors — have made their communities better

places to live.

In this issue, we also honor the more than 800 alumni and friends of

the Law School who volunteered their time during the past year in support

of the school’s programs. Whether serving as Moot Court judges, participat-

ing in our Career Choices series, or helping students hone their networking

skills, their — your — efforts are indispensable to our students’ success.

As spring comes to Bloomington, so does the conclusion of another

academic year. On May 5, the school honored 208 JD candidates and

84 students who earned graduate degrees. The Honorable David L. Carden,

JD’76, Ambassador to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,

addressed a full house of graduates and their families at the IU Auditorium.

Ambassador Carden also spoke at Indiana University’s graduate commence-

ment ceremony.

Like their fellow graduates before them, our newest alumni will go

on to distinguished careers in private practice, business, academia, and

public service. They join nearly 10,000 alumni who work and live all

over the world. I know you will join with me in congratulating them and

wishing them every success in their new careers.

The Law School has set a goal of 60 hours of pro bono service for all

students during their three years in Bloomington. We are sending this issue

of ergo to them as well, both as a welcome from alumni and so that they

can see the example that all of you are setting through your service to the

community. Please join me in welcoming the Class of 2015.

After joining the Los Angeles office of Kirkland & Ellis, Davidson was asked by a client who served on the board of

directors of the Western Center on Law and Poverty to become involved with that organization. Founded in 1967, the

Western Center is the oldest and largest legal services support center in the state, focusing on housing, health care,

and a strong safety net for low-income Californians.

It was a fortuitous request. “The exposure to the people at the Western Center and their cause clicked with me right

away,” Davidson recalled. And the feelings were mutual: After only one year on the board, Davidson was elected

president. In that role, he helped the Center’s executive director transform the board into an active group of advisors

who would move the Center forward.

The Western Center turned out to be a perfect pro bono client for a large firm like Davidson’s. “Because of its

advocacy for low-income clients, the Center has become involved in complex and fast-moving lawsuits,” Davidson

said. One of them involved the Rancho los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, which was threatened with closure

in 60 days, leaving Los Angeles County with no medical facilities for patients with disabilities. “We had to get experts

and affidavits, complete research and discovery, and file for an injunction, all on very short notice,” he recalled.

“We couldn’t have done that without the resources of a firm like Kirkland.” The firm and its legal services co-counsel

secured a preliminary injunction against the closing of the hospital, which the Ninth Circuit affirmed in Rodde v.

Bonta, 357 F.3d 988. “The case was a major victory for the Center’s clients, and it set an important precedent under

the Americans with Disabilities Act,” Davidson added.

Fundraising has been an important part of Davidson’s board leadership. “In 1996, Congress cut off federal financial

support for the Center and others like it,” he explained. “This actually helped us, because it freed us from a lot of

restrictive federal regulations, but we had to raise money to keep going.” Davidson has set the example for the board’s

role as fundraisers. “You can’t be shy about using your connections and asking for money,” he said. Now on the board

of the Center’s endowment, Davidson stays involved as a fundraiser and advisor.

Davidson has been recognized extensively for his pro bono work, including an article in the Los Angeles Daily Journal

titled “Pro Bono Has ‘Benefits beyond the Heart.’” He was also profiled in an article titled “Modest Man of Steel” in

Verdicts and Settlements. He was the leader of the trial and appellate team that won the 2005 President’s Award

for Pro Bono Service from the California State Bar Association. In March 2012, the Maurer School of Law presented

Davidson with its Distinguished Service Award.

Davidson’s advice to lawyers choosing pro bono work is simple: Find a cause that personally clicks for you. “There’s

never been a greater need for pro bono services than now, even within the middle class,” he pointed out. “Further

budget cuts will make the gap in providing legal services even larger, so this is a great time to get involved.”

LIKE MANY LAWYERS, JEFFREY S. DAVIDSON,

JD’73, GOT INVOLVED WITH PRO BONO WORK

FOR ONE REASON: HE HAD TO. BUT HIS INITIAL

OBLIGATION QUICKLY TURNED INTO A PASSION-

ATE COMMITMENT THAT’S KEPT HIM ENGAGED

FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.

COMMITTED TO FILLING A GROWING GAP

Buroker credits his grandfather, Clarence Slusser, for his interest in community service. “My grandfather owned

Grant Memorial Cemetery in Marion, Indiana,” Buroker explained. “In a small community, that’s an important and

visible role. And he was a joiner — everything from the Chamber of Commerce to community theatre. I grew up

watching him volunteer his time.”

Buroker began following his grandfather’s example while still in high school, serving on the Mayor’s Youth

Commission in his hometown, Fort Wayne. He learned early that the key to successful volunteering is to want to

do it. “If you’re interested in the work, want to help, and do a good job, the opportunities will snowball. If you’re

just doing it to pad your resume, you won’t enjoy it — and people will see through it.”

In 1990, Buroker joined Krieg DeVault LLP in Indianapolis, where the firm encouraged him to continue his interest

in civic affairs. “In October of that year, I was asked to volunteer for the Indiana chapter of the American Heart

Association. Twenty-two years later, I’m still doing it,” he said. In 2006–2007, he was the organization’s national

chairman. He remains involved locally, volunteering for the Association’s Heart Walk, the Heart of Gold Ball, and

the Go Red for Women luncheon events.

In Buroker’s view, the Heart Association is an ideal organization for volunteers. “They have a mission and vision,

a plan for carrying them out, and meaningful, measurable goals,” he said. “This makes the board much more effective.”

The organization also resonates with him personally. “Both of my grandfathers died of heart attacks while still in

their early sixties,” he recalled. “The Heart Association has made a real difference in helping people change their

habits and live longer.” The association recognized Buroker’s commitment in June 2011, awarding him the Gold Heart

Award, its highest honor for volunteers who have supported its mission at the national level.

Buroker’s latest engagement is with the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, which recently elected him to its board of

directors. “Indianapolis is ranked the 43rd healthiest city in the U.S.,” he said. “Our goal is to move the city into the top

10.” He added that the YMCA, like the Heart Association, is well-run, with a clear mission and meaningful goals.

“Attorneys have a special advantage as community volunteers,” Buroker observed. “You’re perceived as having a

different skill set, which is a powerful tool for young lawyers — people look up to you, and you can leverage this per-

ception for the good of the community.”

Buroker’s resume lists some 30 volunteer activities, including his church, the Indianapolis Opera, and the Law

School’s Alumni Board. These wide-ranging interests have one thing in common: passion and commitment, traits

which he says are essential to successful volunteering. “If you get involved in something and you’re not passionate,

get out and get involved in something else,” he said. “But once you find your passion, you’ll be rewarded many

times over.”

ANDREW B. BUROKER, JD’89, HAS BUILT A

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS LAW PRACTICE AS A

PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR HIS CLIENTS’

INTERESTS. BUT HE HAS ANOTHER PASSION:

COMMUNITY SERVICE.

“The sermon pointed out the need for a legal clinic to serve the church neighborhood, which had become distressed,”

Kuzma recalled. “There were six attorneys in the congregation who heard the call that day, and we decided to figure

out what it would take to form a clinic.” Just 18 months later, in January 1994, the Mapleton-Fall Creek Christian Legal

Clinic opened.

Kuzma took a leadership role in this new, all-volunteer venture, serving as its unpaid executive director for six years,

then as a salaried employee for nine years, thanks to generous grants from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust

and Trinity Episcopal Church. “Our growth has been completely driven by felt needs in the community,” Kuzma

explained. “We found that low-income families needed help with their taxes, so we became certified by the IRS as a

low-income taxpayer clinic. Our clients needed help with foreclosure long before the current housing crisis, so we

became a HUD-certified housing counseling agency. Indianapolis experienced a rapid growth of new immigrants in

2000–2001, and we developed an immigration program.”

The scope of the Clinic’s services — and its geographic reach — grew quickly, and the organization was soon renamed

the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic. It now serves more than 10,000 clients per year through a network of more

than 150 volunteer attorneys and a paid staff of 35 under the direction of Josh Abel, JD’05, its newly appointed director.

In 2009, Kuzma joined the Office of the Indiana Attorney General as the director and chief counsel of the Consumer

Protection Division. She continues to serve on the board of the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, while applying

her community-service expertise to several of the attorney general’s initiatives, including human trafficking. Attorney

General Greg Zoeller, JD’82, is co-chair of the Indiana Protection of Abused and Trafficked Humans (IPATH) task

force, which seeks to stop this abusive global practice through awareness and legislation.

“The 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis gave us an excellent opportunity to put our IPATH efforts to use,” Kuzma said.

“Unfortunately, major sporting events bring with them human trafficking, both in terms of prostitution and illegal

labor. We trained 3,400 people, mainly first responders, how to recognize trafficking cases during Super Bowl week

and beyond.” Kuzma is now consulted regularly as an expert on human trafficking and speaks nationally before

others who are seeking to stop this $32 billion industry. In 2011, she was named an international fellow to the National

Attorneys General Training and Research Institute, where she attended a forum with sixteen other fellows from

nine countries to discuss and analyze human trafficking from a global perspective.

Kuzma suggests that lawyers choose pro bono work that they’re passionate about. “Some lawyers want to do some-

thing different from their typical area of practice; others want to apply existing expertise,” she noted. “Whatever path

you choose, make sure you have a clear concept of what you’re taking on. If you choose something different, it helps

if training and mentorship are available — and they usually are.”

She concluded that lawyers are often surprised by the impact their efforts have — on themselves. “It’s easy for pro

bono lawyers to see how their work benefits their clients,” she said. “What many lawyers don’t realize is how reward-

ing it is for them. I’ve never met a volunteer lawyer who hasn’t found the work enormously rewarding.”

3 On Saturday, May 5, 208 JD students and 84 graduate students

were recognized in a ceremony in the IU Auditorium before a capacity

crowd that included faculty and staff, family, and friends. Dean Buxbaum

reminded the graduates that “the education in which you have invested

has value that transcends your professional lives. We are privileged to live

in a country whose democratic political order is anchored in the rule of law.

As lawyers . . . , you can now stand up for those who are unable to articulate

and defend their rights; you can now guide others in identifying and

pursuing morally and legally good courses of action. You can now partici-

pate fully as citizens in the communities in which you live, which brings

personal as well as professional fulfillment.”

3 The Honorable David L. Carden, JD’76, United States Ambassador

to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, was the keynote speaker.

Carden has more than 30 years’ experience in the global legal profession,

having lived for sustained periods in nine countries. His career has given

him a unique vantage point as an ambassador, one that has convinced him

that we need to “change the world and the way we live in it.” He cited

more than fifteen opportunities and problems facing the world, including

“managing the transition to an equitable and rules-based global economy;

preparing and responding to global pandemics and natural disasters. . . ;

and saying no to the heartbreak of human and wildlife trafficking.”

3 Carden urged his audience to embrace these challenges, noting that

lawyers are supremely qualified to make a difference. “The most rewarding

work we can do will be to use the law to help solve the global challenges fac-

ing all of us, to find and prosper communities and places that need us to do

what we have been trained to do. That surely is the real work of the world.”

3 Kelsey Hanlon, JD’12, was selected by her classmates to deliver

the student address. “I won’t tell you to go out and change the world with

your law degree,” she said. “Quite frankly, I know that most of you will do

just that in the quiet, principled, unflashy ways that only good lawyers can.

What I will do is make a few simple requests: Be kind. Work hard. And wake

up each day full of gratitude. Gratitude for all of the opportunities you’ve

had, and gratitude for all the experiences that await you.”

++

Leonard D. Fromm, Associate Dean for Students and Alumni, has

announced his retirement, effective July 31.

Fromm joined the Law School in 1979 and has been a counselor and

adviser to thousands of students, maintaining contact with many of them

throughout their professional lives. His modesty, warmth, wisdom, and

humor have won him accolades from students, faculty, and alumni,

including the receipt of the school’s Gavel Award five times throughout

his career.

“It’s impossible to imagine the Law School without Len Fromm,” said

Dean Buxbaum, echoing the sentiments of the Indiana Law community.

“But we’re not letting him get away completely. He’ll be teaching for us

and keeping an office at the Law School.”

A fitting tribute to Fromm will be announced later, and a feature article

will appear in the December issue of ergo.

Catherine L. Matthews, JD’06, will assume Fromm’s student affairs

duties. Matthews joined the Office of Student Affairs in 2007 and is currently

assistant dean. Andrea C. Havill will continue as Assistant Dean for

Alumni Relations.

On March 23, four distinguished alumni were inducted into the School’s

Academy of Law Alumni Fellows during a ceremony at the Indiana Memorial

Union. Induction into the academy is the highest honor the Law School can

bestow on its graduates.

The Academy consists of an elite group that includes U.S. senators, federal

judges, successful business leaders, and distinguished practitioners. Each brings

honor to the legal profession and enhances the Maurer School of Law’s national

and global reputation. The 2012 inductees include an accomplished entrepre-

neur, a longtime IU general counsel, a distinguished tax attorney, and a widely

acclaimed litigator.

“Our newest additions to the Academy of Law Alumni Fellows have achieved

success in a wide array of fields,” said Dean Buxbaum. “They represent the

values that the Law School holds in highest esteem: intellectual rigor, continuous

achievement, and a commitment to the highest standards of the profession.

We are honored to call them alumni of our school.”

DOROTHY J. FRAPWELL, JD’73

STEPHEN F. BURNS, JD’68

A lawyer turned corporate executive, Stephen F. Burns has built a company

from a small van line to a household name. Burns graduated from Indiana

Law in 1968, where he was elected to Order of the Coif. He initially went

to work for his father’s law firm, where he began working with Earnest S.

Wheaton, who founded a small van line in 1945. Wheaton took Burns under

his wing and coaxed him into taking the helm of the company in 1987.

Burns and his management team developed a five-year plan for Wheaton to

reach $95 million in revenue by 2007. That goal was reached two years early

in 2005. Wheaton’s recent purchase of Bekins Van Lines makes the company

the fourth-largest moving and storage company in the U.S.

Burns has received numerous honors for his industry achievements,

including Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2006 (Indiana,

Midwest and U.S. finalist); 2008 Lifetime Achievement award from the

American Moving and Storage Association (the industry’s highest award);

and Wheaton’s highest honor, the Extra Mile award, in 2010. He has also

been an active volunteer, with a special emphasis on Give Kids the World,

which helps children with life-threatening illnesses realize their dreams of

visiting Disney World. Burns stepped down as Wheaton’s CEO in September

2008, but he remains the company’s chairman, focusing on acquisitions

and diversification.

Dorothy J. Frapwell has dedicated her professional life to her alma mater,

building a reputation as a strategic thinker, an expert in higher education

practice and a collaborative colleague. She joined Indiana University in

1975 and was the IU Medical Center attorney until 1990, where she advised

doctors and administrators on challenging matters of patient care, ethics,

hospital law and medical education.

In 1990, Frapwell was named special counsel to the president. She was

appointed general counsel to Indiana University in 1994 and was named a

vice president in 2006. Known for her poise, equanimity and common sense,

Frapwell has embraced the many challenges of being the lead counsel of a

complex, vibrant multi-campus research university. Throughout the course

of her distinguished career, she has advised the trustees of Indiana Uni-

versity and four of its presidents. She attests that this position is incredibly

fascinating and never, never boring.

Frapwell also served on the Maurer School of Law Board of Visitors for 16

years and as a member of the Law Alumni Board, culminating in a term as

president in 1993. While the Medical Center attorney, she was a member of

the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. She has also

served on the Indiana Supreme Court committee on character and fitness.

++

Stephen H. Paul is recognized nationally as a leading expert on property

tax law and locally as a civic leader. His recent election as president of

American Property Tax Counsel, the pre-eminent property tax lawyers’

association in North America, is testimony to his standing in the tax bar.

Throughout his career, Paul has argued numerous cases before the Indiana

Tax Court and Indiana Supreme Court that have shaped the current state

of Indiana property tax law.

An Order of the Coif and magna cum laude graduate of the Maurer School

of Law, Paul served as editor-in-chief of the Indiana Law Journal from 1971 to

1972. His volume remains the most cited in the publication’s history.

After graduating in 1972, Paul joined Baker & Daniels, now Faegre Baker

Daniels, in Indianapolis, where he has practiced tax law for 40 years. A

leader within the firm, he has previously served as chairman of the firm’s

management, finance and compensation committees. Among the highlights

of his diverse career was serving as general counsel to the Seattle Mariners

Baseball Club from 1989 to 1991. Other notable clients include Eli Lilly

and Co., Duke Realty Corp., Simon Property Group, General Electric Co.,

PepsiCo, Nordstrom, Target Corp. and JPMorgan Chase.

In the community, Paul has served as president of Congregation Beth-El

Zedeck and its foundation in Indianapolis. He is a member of the IU Maurer

School of Law’s Board of Visitors and an adjunct professor of state and

local taxation.

For the past half century, Richard S. Rhodes has brought distinction to the

profession as a litigator, arbitrator, and mediator. Rhodes graduated with

distinction from the Law School in 1953, where he was elected to Order of

the Coif and served as note editor of the Indiana Law Journal.

Soon after his release from the Army in 1956, Rhodes was appointed to a

clerkship for Justice Sherman Minton, LLB’15, at the United States Supreme

Court. When Justice Minton retired, Rhodes was one of the first law clerks

for newly appointed Justice William J. Brennan.

When his clerkship ended, Rhodes became associated with Chadwell,

Kayser, a leading Chicago antitrust firm. He soon became a partner and

specialized in antitrust law, enjoying a long and distinguished career for

more than 30 years. During that time he spent a year as chairman of the

Chicago Bar Association’s antitrust law committee and a year as president

of the IU Alumni Club of Chicago.

After 40 years of private practice in litigation, Rhodes turned to alternative

dispute resolution: arbitration under the auspices of the American Arbi-

tration Association and mediation for the Center for Conflict Resolution.

Fifteen years later, he continues to enjoy this practice.

Rhodes has been a dedicated and tireless civic volunteer. For many years,

he and his wife, Judy, organized meetings for high school students to learn

about IU. He has served as president of two synagogues and was one of

the founders and the first president of the Chicago Foundation for Jewish

Education. He has been an active member of the Law School Board of

Visitors for over 30 years.

Four accomplished legal scholars will join the Indiana Law faculty during

the 2012-2013 academic year. “Our newest faculty members bring a wide

array of talents to the school, filling gaps in some areas of the curriculum

and complementing existing strengths in others,” said Dean Buxbaum.

The new faculty members are:

Tim Lovelace. Lovelace comes to the Law School from the University of

Virginia, where he was assistant director of the University of Virginia School

of Law Center for the Study of Race and the Law. He earned a JD and a Ph.D.

in history from Virginia and will teach advanced constitutional law and

race, American society, and the law.

Michael Mattioli joins the faculty from the University of California –

Berkeley (Boalt Law School), where he is a Microsoft research fellow. During

the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Microsoft postdoctoral fellow in law,

economics, and technology at the University of Michigan Law School.

Mattioli is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and will

teach contracts and intellectual property courses.

Victor Quintanilla. A graduate of Georgetown University Law Center,

Quintanilla has extensive experience in the federal court system, having

worked for the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice and

as a clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He was

an associate at Sidley Austin in Chicago for three years. Quintanilla will

teach civil procedure and advanced civil procedure.

Steve Sanders was an associate at Mayer Brown in Chicago before embark-

ing on an academic career, serving as a lecturer at the University of Chicago

and then as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Michigan Law

School. He holds a JD from the University of Michigan. He joins the faculty

in January 2013 and will teach constitutional law.

The Maurer School of Law’s Black Law Students’ Association was presented

with the McKaig Legacy Award at the university’s 2012 Student Organization

Celebration Dinner on April 26. The McKaig Legacy Award is given

annually to an established student organization which, through its vision,

vitality, and diligence, has had a significant impact on the IU Bloomington

campus in areas of student leadership development, community service,

and collaboration to such an extent that its work will be remembered for

years to come. The award honors former IU Dean of Students Dick McKaig.

It is the highest honor an IU student organization can receive.

As globalization continues to pervade the market for legal services — both

at home and abroad — Indiana Law continues to expand the opportunities

for students to prepare for careers in this new environment.

This summer, fourteen students will be participating as interns in Brazil,

India, and South Korea through the Law School’s Center on the Global

Legal Profession. The students have been named Milton Stewart Fellows

in honor of Milton Stewart, JD’71, of

Portland, Ore., who is providing fund-

ing for the program. Inaugurated in 2010,

the unique program offers students

experiences in a variety of settings,

including corporations, highly reputed

law firms, and rights-based, non-govern -

mental organizations (NGOs).

The internships at Indian NGOs have also been made possible through a

strong partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Holdeen India Program

and its director, Kathy Sreedhar. Partial support for the South Korean

fellows has also been provided by the Law School’s Elmore Entrepreneur-

ship Law Clinic, established and funded in part by David Elmore, JD’58,

and his son D.G. Elmore, JD/MBA’84.

“The Stewart Fellows internships are in keeping with the Center’s mission

of developing our students’ ability to practice in the globalized legal

environment as business lawyers, public sector lawyers, and social justice

advocates,” said Professor Jayanth K. Krishnan, the Charles L. Whistler Fac-

ulty Fellow and head of the India Initiative at the Center on the Global Legal

Profession. “Thanks to the generosity of alumni and our other supporters of

the program in the U.S., Brazil, India, and Korea, we are able to send

14 fellows this summer, up from 11 in 2011 and six in 2010.”

An article co-written by Professor William Henderson in the June 2011

ABA Journal has won a prestigious Lisagor Award from the Chicago

Headline Club.

The article, titled “Law Job Stagnation May Have Started Before the

Recession — And It May Be a Sign of Lasting Change,” argues that the

profession is undergoing a massive structural shift, and that the current

recession provides a good opportunity to re-examine longstanding

assumptions about lawyers and their clients. Henderson and co-author

Rachel Zahorsky, a legal affairs writer at the Journal, won the award

in the category of in-depth reporting, non-daily publication, for a business

magazine or newspaper with circulation of more than 20,000. The awards

were presented before an audience of 350 at the Union League Club of

Chicago on Friday, May 4.

“The pool of entries for these awards is extraordinary, and the competition

is taken seriously by news organizations like Bloomberg, the Associated

Press, and even Playboy,” said Allen Pusey, editor and publisher of

ABA Journal. He added that Henderson and Zahorsky beat finalists from

Bloomberg News and Crain’s Chicago Business.

The award honors Peter Lisagor, the Washington bureau chief of the

Chicago Daily News from 1959–1976. Lisagor was one of the nation’s most

respected and well known journalists.

Henderson is director of Indiana Law’s Center on the Global

Legal Profession.

CENTER FOR IP RESEARCH ANNOUNCES 2012 FALL IP EVENTS SERIES++

Indiana Law’s Center for Intellectual Property Research has

announced its 2012 Fall IP Events series, featuring many of the world’s

thought leaders in intellectual property law. This year’s series covers

three important topics — and two continents, culminating in an

international design protection law conference at Oxford University

in November.

++

MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW FOR THIS YEAR’S SERIES:

SEPTEMBER 13-14: “The America Invents Act — After Year One,”

featuring many leading patent law academics, practitioners, and

others, including two keynote speakers: David Kappos, Under Secre-

tary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the U.S.

Patent and Trademark Office, and Robert A. Armitage, Senior Vice

President and General Counsel, Eli Lilly and Company. This major

symposium will explore the impact of the patent reform legislation —

what it accomplished, what it omitted, and what the future holds.

Sessions will be held on the IU–Bloomington campus. The event is

co-sponsored by Cook Group.

++

SEPTEMBER 24: “The State of Patent Litigation: A Conversation

with the Federal Circuit,” featuring the Honorable Randall R. Rader,

Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit;

Circuit Judge (and former Indiana Law Dean) S. Jay Plager of the

Federal Circuit, and many others. The program will include a series

of panel discussions by leading jurists, academics, and practitioners,

and a luncheon address by Judge Rader. The event will occur in

Bloomington. The Federal Circuit Bar Association is helping coordi-

nate the event, which is co-sponsored by Cook Group.

++

NOVEMBER 2-3: “The Future of Design Protection Law,” to be

held at Oxford University in coordination with Oxford’s Intellectual

Property Research Centre and co-sponsored by Microsoft Corpora-

tion. The conference brings together the world’s leading scholars,

practitioners, industry representatives, and government officials

involved in all aspects of design protection law, including scholars

from the U.S., Europe and China. This conference is co-sponsored

by McAndrews Held & Malloy Ltd.

++

“We are delighted that the Center is hosting these world-class events,”

said Mark D. Janis, JD’89, Robert A. Lucas Chair of Law and the

director of the Center. “The Fall 2012 IP Events series demonstrates

what our Center is all about. We are going abroad to build on our

international reputation in intellectual property law, and we are also

bringing the best in the world to Indiana because we’re committed to

enhancing the intellectual property law infrastructure in the state.”

Indiana continuing legal education credit for the stateside events

will be applied for. For more information, visit the Center’s website:

ip.law.indiana.edu.

Four Indiana University Maurer School of Law faculty members and one adjunct professor were honored April 9

with prestigious teaching awards from the Law School. They are:

3 Amy G. Applegate, clinical professor of law and director, Viola J. Taliaferro Family and Children Mediation Clinic

3 Jayanth K. Krishnan, professor of law

3 Jeffrey Evans Stake, Robert A. Lucas Chair of Law

3 Leandra Lederman, William W. Oliver Professor of Tax Law

3 Judge Marc R. Kellams, adjunct professor of law

“Excellent teaching is a core commitment of our educational mission, and our faculty takes that commitment

very seriously. There are many wonderful teachers at the Maurer School of Law, and it is an honor to celebrate their

achievements,” said Interim Dean Hannah L. Buxbaum, who presented the awards.

Trustees’ Teaching Awards were presented to Amy G. Applegate, Jayanth K. Krishnan and Jeffrey Evans Stake.

Applegate, who teaches a course in domestic relations mediation, was described as knowledgeable and passionate

about the material she teaches and deeply connected with her students. Krishnan teaches property law, immigration

law and comparative legal systems and was cited for his enthusiasm in the classroom, as well as for his efforts to

expand the law school’s global presence. Stake was praised for being an outstanding lecturer who is well-organized

and detailed and who sets high standards for himself and his students. He teaches property law, and wills and trusts.

Lederman was presented with the Leon H. Wallace Teaching Award. Named for the school’s former dean, it is the

highest teaching honor given to IU Maurer School of Law faculty. She was praised for her patience and diligence in

the classroom and described as approachable and kind to her students, creating a welcoming and effective learning

environment while emphasizing both the practical and theoretical aspects of tax law.

Kellams, JD’78, was recognized for his work as an adjunct professor teaching trial advocacy. Students cited not

only his wisdom and experience, but also his ability to translate those attributes into successful instruction. This year

marks his 30th as an adjunct at the law school.

The teaching award recipients were chosen by the Dean after considering recommendations of a special committee

of students.

Katherine Turk, the Jerome Hall postdoctoral fellow at the IU Maurer

School of Law, was selected by the Organization of American Historians

(OAH) to receive the 2012 Lerner-Scott Prize, which is given annually for

the best doctoral dissertation in U.S. women’s history. Turk’s dissertation

is titled “Equality on Trial: Women and Work in the Age of Title VII” and

described by the Prize Committee as “a thoughtfully conceived and deeply

researched dissertation and a major contribution to U.S. women’s history

as well as to the histories of law, labor, and business.”

During the 2011–2012 academic year, Turk has been serving as a Jerome Hall

postdoctoral fellow at the Law School’s Center for Law, Society, and Culture.

She received her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University with

honors in history and political science in 2004. She earned a master’s degree

in history in 2007 and a doctorate in history in 2011, both from the University

of Chicago. In 2011, Turk was appointed Assistant Professor of History at

the University of Texas at Dallas and has been on leave from that position

during her fellowship.

Turk’s fellowship is named for Jerome Hall, a member of the Indiana Law

faculty from 1939–1970. He was a pioneer in interdisciplinary analysis of

legal problems and earned international recognition for his seven books and

numerous articles on criminal law and jurisprudence.

Founded in 1907, the OAH is the largest learned society and professional

organization dedicated to the teaching and study of the American past.

The OAH promotes excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presenta-

tion of American history, and encourages wide discussion of historical

questions and equitable treatment of all practitioners of history. Members

in the United States and abroad include college and university professors;

students; precollegiate teachers; archivists, museum curators, and other

public historians employed in government and the private sector.

Richard S. Melvin Professor of Law Kevin Brown was honored twice for his efforts in sponsorship of student

organizations at the Law School. On April 25, he received the Black Faculty Student Choice Award. Several members

of the school’s Black Law Students’ Association nominated Brown for his efforts to encourage BLSA to become more

of a presence at the Law School and around the Bloomington campus. Brown also received Honorable Mention as

Student Organization Advisor of the Year.

Gregory A. Castanias, JD’90, has been selected to receive the Indiana

University Alumni Association’s 2012 President’s Award. This award honors

the IUAA’s most dedicated volunteers, those who lead the way in provid-

ing opportunities for their fellow alumni and friends to stay connected with

their alma mater.

Castanias is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Jones Day, where he

heads the firm’s Federal Circuit practice. He regularly argues in front of

the U.S. Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit on behalf of Fortune 500

companies, including Abbott Laboratories, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, and

IBM. The Legal 500 calls him a “sharp and effective advocate who picks up

the details of the matter quickly.”

“Greg devotes countless hours of time to the Law School,” said Dean

Buxbaum. “As a member of the Alumni Board’s Admissions Committee,

he has made it a personal mission to encourage top-notch prospective

students to apply to Indiana Law.” She added that Castanias volunteers

additional time as an adjunct instructor. In the spring of 2012, he taught a

course on Federal Circuit advocacy, and he has also taught appellate

practice and procedure.

Each week, Castanias travels from Washington to Bloomington and back

in one day so that he can teach at the Law School. In its April 11 issue,

Indiana Lawyer featured his unusual travel schedule in a front-page article

on super-commuter lawyers.

One of five award recipients, Castanias will be honored at the IUAA’s

Alumni Leaders Conference Celebration on Friday, June 15 at the IU

Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall.

FACULTY APPROVES 2012–2015 INITIATIVES: BUILDING ON SUCCESS

On April 27, the Law School’s faculty adopted a set of initiatives to guide the school during the next three academic

years. Titled Building on Success: A Roadmap for the Future, the initiatives build on the school’s 2005 Strategic Plan,

which calls for the school to be “a highly visible and influential law school whose faculty and students promote

knowledge, justice, and the public good around the state, the nation, and the world.”

The initiatives concentrate on three areas: a recommitment to the 2005 Strategic Plan; additional initiatives that will

enable the school to build on past success while moving forward; and a roadmap for achieving those initiatives.

Collaborative and interdisciplinary research and teaching emerged as the two unifying themes of the initiatives.

“The future of American higher education . . . will increasingly challenge the single unit of analysis, whether as an

individual working alone on research, a single discipline as a scholarly framework, or a single nation, as the sole

perspective,” according to the initiatives document.

The faculty adopted three initiatives:

1. EFFECTIVELY EDUCATE TOMORROW’S LAWYERS

2. ENHANCE SCHOLARLY AND SOCIETAL IMPACT OF OUR INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITIES

3. DEVELOP AND MAKE A DIFFERENTIAL INVESTMENT IN RESOURCES.

“We believe that the Law School is on a positive trajectory, as shown by our ability to attract and retain outstanding

faculty, the growth in interdisciplinary research centers, and the recruitment of highly credentialed students from

across the nation,” said Julia C. Lamber, JD’72, Interim Executive Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Professor

of Law, and Val Nolan Faculty Fellow, who chaired the committee that developed the initiatives. “These initiatives

provide a roadmap for building on success while continuing to move forward.”

Objectives and action steps in support of these initiatives were also adopted. The initiatives will be “operationalized”

during the summer of 2012, with deadlines and measurable indicators of progress.

Lamber expressed gratitude to the committee for its work. Members consisted of: Professors Fred Cate, Joe Hoffmann,

Jay Krishnan, Julia Lamber, Mark Need, Carole Silver, and Susan Williams.

Building on Success can be found on the Law School’s website:

law.indiana.edu/about/strategic-plan.

TAKE THE LAW FIRM CHALLENGE; WIN THE FIRST LOOK

As a lawyer, you know how important it is to develop highly competent and prepared associates as part of

your firm’s growth strategy. Your firm’s support of the Maurer School of Law provides the financial resources for

scholarships, faculty development, and programs that help students develop their professional competencies.

The Law Firm Challenge is a way for your Indiana Law alumni to highlight your firm’s role in supporting the

Law School and strengthen the alumni networks among participating firms.

Last year, alumni in 45 firms contributed $178,000 to the Fund for Excellence, the Law School’s annual giving

campaign. Five firms achieved 100% alumni participation: Bose McKinney & Evans LLP; Cohen Garelick & Glazier;

Hackman Hulett & Cracraft LLP; Krieg DeVault LLP; and Stuart & Branigin LLP.

Because the Firm Challenge has been so successful, it is being expanded

for 2012–2013 — providing some friendly competition among firms.

LisaMcKinney, JD’92, a partner at Bose McKinney & Evans in Indianapolis,

has agreed to chair the Law Firm Challenge. “The long-term growth and

success of our firm depends on hiring competent and prepared associates,”

she told ergo. “The Law Firm Challenge is a great opportunity to marshal our resources as alumni in support of the

Law School’s development of tomorrow’s lawyers. I am delighted to serve as chair of the Challenge and look forward

to working with fellow alumni.”

WIN THE CHALLENGE; GET A FIRST LOOK

Here’s how it works: each participating firm will appoint up to three alumni to solicit other Indiana Law alumni

at their firms. Firms that raise $5,000 or more will receive special recognition. The top three firms that raise the most

money will be invited to host, at no charge, a networking reception at their firms with the school’s top students.

You’ll get a first look at the Law School’s best and brightest — the foundation of your firm’s future success.

TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

To partcipate, please contact StephanieCoffey, Director of Annual Giving, to help you set up the challenge at

your firm and to provide you with logistical support. She can be reached at 812.856.2793, or at stcoffey@indiana.edu.

Don’t miss this opportunity!

his annual hosting of our evening at the IU opera,” said Dean Buxbaum, shown here

experience available to our students.”

Seddelmeyer and his wife, Sarah, began to develop a love for opera when they were

living in Houston. A friend gave them tickets to the opera and they were hooked. That

love of opera grew deeper as they settled in Dallas. Today they are ardent supporters

and trustees of the Dallas Opera.

JAZZ-HANDS DEPARTMENT: FIRST-EVER LAW SCHOOL MUSICAL A HITAbout 35 Indiana Law students participated in the writing, scoring, and staging of Gary Trotter and the Parody Exception: The Law School Musical on March 2 and 3 before a full house in the Moot Court Room. The idea came from Associate Professor Ryan Scott, who was involved in a similar production while attending the University of Minnesota Law School. Scott made the proposal to the student body in April 2011, when the Student Bar Association invited him to deliver the Last Lecture, an often humorous recap of the semester’s events.

“Students come to law school with all sorts of talents and interesting backgrounds, and they don’t always have the opportunities to showcase these talents,” Scott said. Giving students the opportunity to write, direct, produce, and perform in the musical helped students find a means of expressing their creativity and finding some balance between their academic and personal lives. “If you can’t find balance in your law school career, I think you lose some-thing important,” he said.

The students who participated in the musical appreciated the camaraderie and fun it provided. Darrian Campbell, JD’13, who was both a writer and director of the show, found value in expressing his creativity through writing. “I’m thankful to have something outside of the rigors of law school to relieve [the] stress,” he said. Karen Wrenbeck, JD’12, who was both a producer and an actor in the show, liked how it helped her interact with more of the student body. “I don’t know that I would have met all these awesome, hilarious 1Ls” if not for her participation in the musical, she said.

Opening night was a success. Parodies of both pop songs and show tunes were performed energetically by the show’s cast and musical team, such as “Network ’til the World Ends,” a spoof of a Britney Spears song. Jokes comparing law school to high school, and songs about writing briefs and memos and the glamour of living in southern Indiana, had the audience laughing in the courtroom and talking at intermission about how funny the show was.

Campbell said that a new production is planned for next spring, with the hope of participation from more students.
