AN INVESTMENT IN AN INDIANA LAW GRADUATE IS AN
INVESTMENT IN A WELL-ROUNDED PROFESSIONAL
F
For almost 175 years, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law has stood with the nation’s
greatest public law schools, preparing students to become accomplished, ethical lawyers and
leaders. In recent years, we have emerged as an innovator in legal education, with a curriculum
that meets the demands of a changing profession.
But we do more than that. Equally important are the contributions of our school to the economic
and social well-being of our society. Through our global and domestic externship programs,
public-interest clinics, and first-hand interactions with alumni, our students learn early on about
the power of a law degree in achieving justice and effecting change.
Every year, our graduates choose careers in major markets throughout the country, such as
Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Typically about two-thirds of our graduates are hired by
employers outside the state of Indiana.
An Indiana Law education offers another important dimension that gives our graduates an added
edge: the opportunity to develop their professional identity. Our students learn the skills that
lawyers need but don’t usually acquire in school, such as resilience, judgment, time management,
and collaboration. Our faculty act as role models and caring mentors, and our alumni are deeply
invested in paying their success forward to the next generation of alumni. This combination
of classroom study, hands-on learning, and professional development creates an educational
experience for our students that few other schools in the country can match.
When you hire an Indiana Law graduate, you’ll be investing in a well-rounded professional, ready
to hit the ground running, with a combination of Midwestern work ethic and finely honed legal
reasoning skills, sharpened by our internationally renowned faculty.
Maurer School of Law graduates bring a tradition of excellence to the legal profession. We invite
you to get acquainted with them as you chart the future of your organization.65

indiana law students:classroom-taught,hands-on experienced
In addition to their close association with faculty, Indiana Law students benefit
from a wide range of experiences — both inside and outside the classroom —
that prepare them for the legal profession.
In our unique Semester Public Interest Program, students spend half of
their 3L year in Washington, DC, working in a federal agency, on Capitol Hill,
or in a non-profit public advocacy organization, while they earn eight hours
of credit. At the same time, they meet distinguished alumni whose careers
illustrate the many aspects of the profession in the federal government.
Students interested in international law can serve as Milton Stewart
Fellows in one of eight countries in Asia or South America. The fellows get
hands-on summer experience in law firms, corporations, or non-government
organizations while earning course credit. Nearly 100 students have served as
Stewart Fellows since 2010.
Indiana University and the Law School have joined forces to offer several
joint degrees, including a JD/MBA from the Kelley School of Business’s
#22-ranked program, a JD/MPA from the #1-ranked School of Public and
Environmental Affairs, and many other options, including communications,
accounting, and public health. The Law School also offers a JD/MBA with
Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul.
Students have many opportunities throughout the year to examine the
profession in a practical context. Our Career Choices series brings alumni to
Baier Hall for informal chats over lunch in which they share their experiences,
and our innovative first-year Legal Profession course combines legal ethics
with self-assessment of interests and strengths.
All of these opportunities — together with our seven clinics, nine externships,
six student-run projects, and five research centers — round out our students’
classroom learning, giving them the extra edge of preparedness required of
today’s new lawyers.

today’s students,tomorrow’s leaders
Indiana Law students choose careers in a variety of settings
throughout the world. Here are just a few examples of the professional
paths that they have chosen.
Abishek (Jay) Chaudhary, ’09, developed an interest in mental health
advocacy while participating in the Law School’s disability law clinic. He later
secured funding to establish a medical-legal partnership with Indiana Legal
Services and Eskenazi Health, the parent of Midtown Community Health Center
in Indianapolis, and serves as its director.
Justin Agans, ’12, earned a JD/MBA and participated in our Elmore
Entrepreneurship Law Clinic before moving to Charlotte, NC, where he and
Eric Spengler, JD/MPA ’12, founded Spengler & Agans. The firm focuses on
serving local startups and entrepreneurs.
Lance Lindeen, ’12, a JD/MPA graduate and Sherman Minton Moot
Court chief justice is putting his advocacy skills to work in the Philadelphia
District Attorney’s Office.
Rubin Pusha III, ’12, president of the Black Students’ Law Association,
is now an associate in the finance, insolvency, and restructuring department at
Barnes & Thornburg’s Indianapolis office.
Nathan Harter IV, ’13, worked as an intern with his hometown
prosecutor’s office in Decatur County (Ind.) in 2012. He enjoyed the experience
so much that he successfully campaigned for the job and became Indiana’s
youngest elected prosecutor during his first year of practice.
Emily Sanchez Salcedo, SJD’13, a law professor and litigator from
the Philippines, earned a graduate degree to sharpen her teaching skills. She
recently spent eight months as a visiting scholar at two universities in Canada.

indiana law faculty:preparing tomorrow’sprofessionals
A law school is only as strong as its faculty, who teach
our students, serve our communities, and conduct
ground-breaking research. Indiana Law’s faculty are
the central force in the development of our students,
acting as caring mentors and role models. Students
also benefit from our faculty’s expertise by serving as
research assistants or conferring with them informally
outside the classroom.
Our faculty have established five outstanding research
centers in information privacy and cybersecurity,
intellectual property, rule of law and constitutional
design, the global legal profession, and law and
society. We also have highly regarded programs in
tax, conservation and sustainability, and business law.
Along with our clinics, externships, and projects, our
research centers and programs provide our students
with hands-on experiences.
Professor William D. Henderson, the founding
director of our Center on the Global Legal Profession,
continues to receive accolades from the academy
and the profession for his research on the changing
landscape of the practice of law. Quoted almost daily
in the national media, he was named — for the second
year in a row — by National Jurist magazine in 2016 as
the most influential person in legal education today.
LEFT COLUMN FROM TOP: WILLIAM D. HENDERSON, FRED H. CATE, CHARLES GARDNER GEYH, HANNAH L. BUXBAUM, JAYANTH KRISHNAN. RIGHT COLUMN: CHRISTIANA OCHOA, JEANNINE BELL, MARK D. JANIS, GINA-GAIL S. FLETCHER, H. TIMOTHY LOVELACE.
Professor Fred H. Cate is one of the world’s leading experts on cybersecurity and privacy policy. He is a member of
numerous committees for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Federal Trade
Commission. He was recently named to the Council on Foreign Relations and serves as IU’s vice president for research.
Professor Charles Gardner Geyh is a regular contributor to the national debate on judicial qualification and selection.
He has been named a 2016 Andrew Carnegie Fellow — one of only 33 in the country — and will be writing a sequel
to his new book, Courting Peril: The Political Transformation of the American Judiciary, certainly one of the most
timely and important topics in today’s politically charged environment.
In addition to her acclaim as a popular contracts teacher, Professor Hannah L. Buxbaum enjoys a worldwide
reputation as an expert in international and comparative law, particularly transactions and conflicts of law. She was
recently named academic director of IU’s new Global Gateway office in Berlin.
Professor Jayanth Krishnan, the current director of the Center on the Global Legal Profession, is widely regarded
as the American leading expert on the Indian legal profession. His close ties with the bench and bar of that country
have led to life-changing summer externships for our students, while his research helps reshape its legal system.
Another CGLP faculty member, Professor and IU Associate Vice Provost Christiana Ochoa, recently completed a
documentary titled There Is Nothing Else (Otra cosa no hay), which explores the impact of gold mining on the pristine
moorlands of Colombia. Her work is shining the light on the conflict between economic prosperity and human well-
being, a theme that informs lively discussions in her course on international business transactions.
One of the nation’s foremost experts on hate crime, Professor Jeannine Bell also researches and writes on the more
recent phenomenon of move-in violence. She was recently appointed co-editor of the Law and Society Review,
having served as its associate editor and as a trustee of the Law and Society Association.
Professor Mark D. Janis, ’89, director of the Center for Intellectual Property Research, leads the school’s efforts to
capitalize on the growing demand for IP lawyers. The center’s pro bono IP clinic pairs students with Indiana startups
to protect their innovations. The clinic has been certified by the US Patent and Trademark Office in both patent and
trademark law, a distinction awarded to fewer than 10 percent of the country’s law schools.
In addition to these seasoned faculty members, our rising stars have already made an impact as teachers and
scholars. Among them are Associate Professor Gina-Gail S. Fletcher, who teaches and writes on corporate finance
and the financial markets and brings her experience as a Washington lawyer to the classroom. Associate Professor
H. Timothy Lovelace, an expert on legal history and civil rights, recently completed a Law and Public Affairs
Fellowship at Princeton University.
These are just a few of the nearly 100 engaged and interested full-time, adjunct, and affiliated faculty who call the
Law School home and who prepare our students for a life of service in their chosen profession.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND DIVERSITY: CORE VALUES OF THE INDIANA LAW COMMUNITY
Indiana Law students develop their commitment to pro bono representation early in their law school experience.
Most students achieve our guideline of providing 60 hours’ pro bono service during their three years in
Bloomington. Students contribute their time and talent in such diverse areas as immigration, inmate assistance,
domestic violence, tenant evictions, and tax assistance. In 2015-16 alone, they helped more than 950 area
residents complete their tax returns.
The Law School plays an active role in attracting an inclusive community and promoting diversity among its
student body. Our partnership with IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs
provides scholarship and mentoring to students in the university’s Hudson and Holland Scholars, Groups,
and 21st Century Scholars programs. We also work closely with the Indiana Conference for Legal Education
Opportunity, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, the Asian and Pacific Islander Scholarship Fund, and the
Thurgood Marshall College Fund to attract highly qualified candidates to the Law School.
