A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN 

Dear alumni and friends: 

The Indiana University Maurer School of Law reached 

several signifi cant milestones in 2009. As we celebrate 

our successes and prepare for the challenges of the future, 

I would like to highlight a few of our accomplishments 

and say thank you to the many alumni and friends who 

made them possible. 

The visionary generosity of one outstanding alumnus, 

Michael S. Maurer, JD’67, has given the School a 

new name and will provide much-needed scholarship 

assistance for generations of students. A generous gift 

from the Lilly Endowment has enabled us to hire fi ve 

outstanding faculty members whose timely scholarship 

will affect the profession and society for years to come. 

The Matching the Promise capital campaign has raised 

more than $90 million – 300 percent ahead of our goal 

with one year to go. In order to make the most of these 

incredible gifts, we are preparing a new strategic plan that 

will guide the School through the next decade. 

This year’s entering class is not only the strongest 

academically in the School’s history, but is also strong in 

terms of diversity and personal achievement. Our students 

face many challenges and opportunities as the profession 

adapts to the demands of a global economy. To help them 

prepare for this new environment, we have launched 

our Center on the Global Legal Profession and forged 

partnerships with schools in Korea and India. A new fi rstyear 

course on the legal profession provides students with 

the tools they need to identify and evaluate important career 

choices and to develop their own distinctive strategies for 

career development. 

Our strategic plan is built on the following vision: to be a 

highly visible and infl uential law school whose faculty, students, 

and alumni promote knowledge, justice, and the public good 

around the state, the nation, and the world. I am deeply 

grateful to our extraordinarily committed volunteers and 

Michael S. “Mickey” Maurer, JD’67, delivers remarks at the offi cial naming 

ceremony of the IU Maurer School of Law.

donors who have helped make our vision real and tangible. 

Your investments create incredible momentum. The IU 

Maurer School of Law has risen in the national rankings and 

is now recognized as a top 10 public law school. 

And yet there is much to be done. The challenges of the 

recent economic downturn have greatly affected the School, 

our students, and indeed our profession, and we turn to 

our alumni and friends for help now more than ever. As 

the honor rolls in this publication attest, the IU Maurer 

School of Law continues to build on its strong tradition of 

volunteerism and philanthropy. Our alumni provide fi nancial 

support, serve on advisory boards, judge moot court, donate 

scholarships, teach classes, and mentor our students in 

myriad ways. 

IU President Michael A. McRobbie (top) prepares to present Michael and Janie Maurer with 

a ceremonial key to the Law School. Hundreds of students and alumni (bottom) fi lled the IU 

Auditorium for the Law School naming ceremony. 

This level of support is especially necessary and appreciated 

in the career and professional development arena. Law 

students across the country are looking for employment 

in a legal market that shed 2,000 jobs in October 2009 

alone. Fortunately, our students are connected to a creative, 

energetic, and engaged group of alumni and friends who 

offer crucial advice and assistance. 

During our Sept. 25 Alumni Summit, we surveyed 70 

members of our alumni advisory boards, including our 

Board of Visitors; Alumni Board; the Intellectual Property, 

Business Law, and Environmental Law Program Advisory 

Boards; and the Latino and Black Law Student Alumni 

Advisory Boards. These alumni reported that they have 

worked closely with our Offi ce of Career and Professional 

Development to provide shadowing opportunities, resume 

reviews, networking assistance, and career coaching. In 

addition, these volunteers worked independently with 

students as mentors, on-campus or on-location recruiters, 

and provided other forms of active career assistance. This 

group is representative of an entire network of advocates for 

our students. I cannot thank you enough. 

I know that I will be calling on all of you in the future 

for your counsel and assistance as the IU Maurer School 

of Law faces the challenges that the new decade is sure 

to bring. The School has benefi ted greatly from your 

investments of time and treasure, and I am looking 

forward to working with all of you as we capitalize on the 

momentum we have built together. 

All my best, 

Lauren Robel, JD’83

2008–2009 ANNUAL FUND 

Dean Regenovich, Lisa Hosey, and Brian Kearney

Development offi ce 

helping alumni reconnect 

“Good afternoon! This is Dean Regenovich calling from the 

IU Maurer School of Law....” 

By the time Regenovich, the School’s assistant dean for 

advancement, can even fi nish the sentence, the alumnus on 

the other end of the line often assumes the School is calling 

for a monetary gift. It is a tough perception to overcome, 

but, in fact, Regenovich and his staff focus on helping alumni 

reconnect before asking for fi nancial support. 

“Our fi rst order of business is to get our alumni reconnected 

with the Law School,” Regenovich said. “When people see 

anything that has the word ‘development’ in the title, right 

away they think we’re going to show up on their doorstep 

asking for money. What we’re really trying to do is fi nd ways 

to engage them with the School.” 

Despite a record-setting fundraising campaign, the Law 

School is in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime push of forward 

momentum. Transformative gifts from Michael S. Maurer, 

JD’67, and his wife, Janie, and from the Lilly Endowment 

have enabled the School to provide students with an 

affordable legal education and to hire outstanding new 

faculty. But the Law School’s wide range of programs and 

services also needs fi nancial help, especially as state revenue 

continues to fall below forecasts. 

“We have been so fortunate with the Lilly and Maurer 

gifts, but those are designated for very specifi c purposes,” 

Regenovich said. “We have incredible opportunities in 

student programs, clinical programs, student support, and 

other areas where alumni can really make a difference.”

Regenovich noted that donors can determine exactly how 

their gifts are used. A gift can be for something as specifi c as 

a particular clinic — the School has several that give students 

a chance to put their education into action while helping the 

local community — or for an all-encompassing purpose like 

the School’s general fund. 

Regenovich and his staff, Gift Planning Offi cer Brian 

Kearney and Director of Annual Giving and Stewardship 

Lisa Hosey, work with alumni to fi nd ways to match a 

donor’s passion with an opportunity at the School. 

“We try to connect the dots with where their interests lie and 

what the Law School has to offer,” Regenovich said. “We 

want to get them involved with something they care about.” 

An attorney who travels the globe for business and recognizes 

the need to train future lawyers in international legal markets 

can make a specifi c gift to the School’s new Center on the 

Global Legal Profession. An alumnus with a passion for 

domestic violence prevention can support the Protective 

Order Project. There is no shortage of opportunities for 

alumni reconnection. And it doesn’t take a six-fi gure check to 

make a difference. 

“All levels of gifts are important in elevating the Law School 

to where it can be,” Regenovich emphasized. He encouraged 

alumni to reconnect with the School. “There is a direct 

correlation between where we are now and the incredible 

generosity of our alumni. While fi nancial gifts are great, we 

need sweat equity just as much. Come spend some time in 

our classrooms. Help in mentoring our students. Help them 

fi nd job opportunities. All of these are important pieces to 

building the future of the Law School.” 

The development offi ce is actively working with its 

counterparts in the Offi ce of Career and Professional 

Development, hand-carrying student resumes to alumni who 

may have job leads or could serve as a mentor. 

“Any possible way we can get our alumni engaged with the 

School is a plus,” Regenovich said. “It has been gratifying 

to see the level of support alumni are providing our current 

students, whether it’s letting them know about an open 

clerkship or simply connecting with them through a phone 

call. Our alumni know how tough the economy is right now, 

and we appreciate all the help they are willing to provide.”

Stewarts introduce law 

students to a world of art 

A few weeks ago, a large crowd from 

the Indiana Law community had 

gathered in the soaring atrium of the 

IU Art Museum. Designed by I.M. 

Pei, the atrium is the gateway into 

one of the fi nest art collections on 

a university campus. Milt and Judi 

Stewart stood on the steps, watching 

many law students experience the 

museum for the fi rst time. It was, 

as the Stewarts later recalled, an 

experience of great satisfaction. 

“When I was an undergrad here at IU, 

I’m afraid I didn’t have the wisdom — 

or take the time — to appreciate the 

culture of this university,” Milt Stewart 

said. “The Bloomington campus 

offered so much, whether it was a 

wonderful art exhibition or an opera or 

theater production, and, yet, I missed 

most of it.” 

Now the client relations partner at 

Davis Wright Tremaine in Portland, 

Ore., Milt and his wife, Judi, have 

made a pledge to open the eyes of 

law students to at least one cultural 

opportunity, hosting an evening 

reception for the Law School’s 

students, faculty, and staff. The catered 

affair has been such a success over the 

last few years that the Stewarts now 

intend to host one annually. 

“It’s really important to me that law 

students get not just a great legal 

education, but also the exposure to the 

abundance of culture on campus,” he 

said. “We want them to be engaged in 

the university itself.” 

The Stewarts have been engaged with 

IU and Indiana Law for a number 

of years, but they didn’t know the 

extent to which they could one day 

help. Milt Stewart grew up in a home 

where college wasn’t an option. It was 

a dream.

and Milt Stewart, daughter, Amy Skei and her husband, Rob Preston 

“It’s really important to 

me that law students 

get not just a great 

legal education, but 

also the exposure to the 

abundance of culture 

on campus.” 

— Milt Stewart 

“It’s not entirely fair to my parents, 

both of whom are now gone, but I 

grew up in a family which could not 

afford college expenses for me,” he 

recalled. “There was no college in my 

future and certainly no law school. But 

I went to a great high school, West 

Lafayette High School, and a guidance 

counselor and principal there helped 

me understand that I could — and 

should — go to college. I ended up

at IU because the IU Foundation 

provided me with scholarships all 

through my undergrad years. And I 

was able to go to law school because 

people who had gone before me had 

given back in ways that provided 

me with scholarships and other 

fi nancial aid. I can’t tell you that I fully 

appreciated that then, but I 

do now.” 

Stewart said the generosity of others 

gave him the opportunity to better 

himself. He now hopes others will do 

the same. 

“It occurred to me more than 20 years 

ago that I had an obligation to pay my 

good fortune forward,” he said. “I had 

to do for others what someone had 

done for me.” 

That doesn’t necessarily mean fi nancial 

contributions. Time, talent, and 

treasure can all have equal value in 

helping shape the successful career of a 

current or future student, Stewart said. 

For Milt and Judi Stewart, that 

includes introducing law students 

to life outside of the Law Building. 

The couple had not been back to the 

Bloomington campus in some 25 years 

when Milt Stewart became his fi rm’s 

mentor to the son of then IU President 

Thomas Ehrlich. That connection 

brought the Stewarts back to visit, and 

they have since been ardent supporters 

of the Art Museum, the university, and 

the Law School. 

“I wouldn’t be doing the things I do 

if I hadn’t re-engaged,” Stewart said. 

“A critical piece of the Law School’s 

future depends on our alumni fi nding 

ways to reconnect with the School. 

Find your way.” 


Center on the Global Legal Profession’s Comparative 

Law Program named in honor of Stewart 

Milt Stewart, JD’71, was right out of the U.S. Army when he turned down jobs 

in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, opting instead to begin his legal career at 

Davis Wright Tremaine in Portland, Ore. 

He didn’t know it at the time, but Stewart ended up having a virtual front-row seat 

to witnessing the explosion of globalization in the legal profession. 

“When I made the decision to go to Portland, I thought I’d be entering into a 

local practice and that I wouldn’t have any exposure to the global markets,” Stewart 

said. “I didn’t recognize then the importance the Pacifi c Rim would play in the 

world economy.” 

Now a successful attorney focusing on mergers and acquisitions, Stewart has become 

fully aware of the need to train tomorrow’s lawyers in the ways of the world. 

“Even though I’m based in Portland, a tremendous amount of my practice — 

at least 40 to 50 percent — involves dealing with issues, companies, and people 

outside of the United States,” he said. “Anyone who has read The World Is Flat or who 

keeps up with the national or international press knows the world is shrinking. I used 

to get exposure to international stocks by buying foreign stocks, but now most of my 

domestic stocks have international holdings. Whether it’s Colgate or Buick, these 

products are being manufactured and sold all over the world. The legal implications 

and opportunities from that are huge. I think a day is coming when our graduates will 

look as much outside the U.S. as inside for their fi rst job.” 

For his commitment to the School and its students, the Law School named its 

Comparative Legal Professions program in Stewart’s honor. The goal of the program, 

which is part of the Law School’s new Center on the Global Legal Profession, is to 

immerse students within global markets that are booming centers of commerce, 

politics, and social change. 

“We are studying the legal profession not just to learn about the everyday, nutsand-bolts 

work of lawyers, but also how lawyers are helping to contribute to nationbuilding, 

promoting transparency, strengthening the rule of law, judicial reform, 

and providing greater access to justice in different parts of Asia, Latin America, and 

Africa,” said Professor Jay Krishnan. 

“Milt Stewart has expertise in all of those regions. He knows lawyers, government 

offi cials, NGO workers, and business entrepreneurs all over the world, and his 

experience and willingness to assist our students in this global endeavor is a huge 

boon for all of us.” 

Stewart said he was “completely shocked” by the news that the School was 

naming a program after him. 

“It is extraordinarily humbling,” he said. “I am so passionate about this School, 

and I care about it in so many ways. To have my name associated with it in any 

way is an incredible honor.”

Successful alumnus takes 

alternative career path 

Q. Starting off with a 

little background, why did 

you decide to return to 

Indiana for law school after 

venturing off to Colorado for 

your undergraduate work? 

A. I wanted to go to an academic 

law school as opposed to a 

practitioner’s law school. I saw 

law school more as a PhD program than as an opportunity 

to learn a specifi c legal skill set. For me, the benefi t of having 

three years of rigorous legal training was excellent preparation 

for a career. That plan has come together for me because I rely 

on the skills I learned in law school to give me an advantage 

in each position I’ve held. 

Plus, I also attended a public high school in Indianapolis, 

and to satisfy my teenage wanderlust I went to UC-Boulder. 

Once I decided to go to law school, I knew it had to be an 

aesthetically beautiful campus, and, of course, Bloomington is 

unbeatable in that regard. 

Q. You graduated in 1982 and had always been 

a steady donor to the Law School, but within the 

last few years you’ve really increased your 

involvement with the School. What encouraged 

you to get re-engaged? 

A. It was entirely a result of Dean Robel. Her enthusiasm is 

contagious. Even though I was not a practicing lawyer when 

we reconnected at a New York alumni gathering a few years 

ago, she made a point to get on my calendar. When we met, I 

found myself being enthusiastically reeled into her orbit. 

I’m very guarded when it comes to my non-professional 

commitments. I don’t lightly take on things just because I’m 

asked. But she really was committed to making a difference, 

and it shows in the caliber of students and faculty we’re 

attracting. These positive changes are now being recognized 

by U.S. News & World Report. 

All of that passion and success come from leadership. I’m very 

proud of the School, and I’m extremely appreciative of the skills 

that I gained there and how they’ve given me a competitive 

advantage in my business career. You combine that with 

how fun Lauren makes it to be engaged, and it’s a pleasure 

to commit both my time and my fi nancial contributions to 

the School. 

Q. Given the position you’re in, I’m sure you’re 

asked all the time to be involved with different 

organizations and charities. Why is it important to 

you to support Indiana Law? 

A. The public law school education was instrumental in my 

success. I think those of us who have been more fortunate 

in terms of what we’ve achieved fi nancially — and I don’t 

mean to say that we’ve done more important work — but 

those of us who have had that opportunity need to give back 

disproportionately to our School. That’s one reason why 

Mickey Maurer is a hero and mentor for me. He’s gone on 

to do such great things — not only as an entrepreneur, but 

philanthropically as well. I hope others may one day say, in 

some small way, that I made a fraction of the difference that 

Mickey has. 

Q. You made a recent pledge to endow the Scott N. 

Flanders scholarship. How does it feel knowing you 

will have given future students tremendous help in 

the pursuit of their legal education? 

A. I want our Law School to be accessible to qualifi ed students 

regardless of their fi nancial status. A public law school has 

the responsibility to be accessible to students regardless 

of socioeconomic status. The accessibility of a public law 

education has changed since I attended the School because the 

cost of delivering a high-caliber legal education has signifi cantly 

increased. The vast majority of students cannot afford the cost 

of a three- or four-year legal education, particularly those from 

out-of-state, without some fi nancial assistance. My hope is that 

with this scholarship — and others I hope to endow in the 

future — many students will be able to choose the IU Maurer 

School of Law with less consideration of its tuition cost.

Q. Not only are you one of the Law School’s 

top fi nancial contributors, you are one of its top 

donors of time as well. How do you balance your 

extremely busy schedule with volunteering on the 

Board of Visitors and participating in events like 

FutureFirm 1.0, where participants envisioned the 

ideal law fi rm of the future? 

A. It’s a pleasure to participate and rejuvenating to be back on 

the Bloomington campus. I welcome the variety of activities. 

Plus, I learn so much from each event or meeting. For example, 

at FutureFirm, I changed the way I think about legal services, 

especially as a corporate executive who authorizes a lot of 

spending on legal fees. Media businesses are legal-intensive 

because of the nature of intellectual property rights and 

copyrights that must be defended. FutureFirm was all about 

creativity, and I received as much out of it as I put in. 

It was a lot of fun. 

“I’m very proud of the School, and 

I’m extremely appreciative of the skills 

that I gained there and how they’ve 

given me a competitive advantage 

in my business career.” 

— Scott Flanders 

In addition to that, the perspective of having different issues 

to address beyond my day-to-day responsibilities augments my 

skills as a corporate executive and makes me more informed 

about the School’s goals and how I might help achieve them. In 

my talks with Lauren, she shares the challenges she faces with 

her team, the legislature, faculty recruiting, and maintaining 

our School’s diversity. Those are the types of strategic issues 

she sounds off on and that I try to help with. I do feel I often 

get more than I give, but I hope I add some value to the 

conversation too! 

Q. Your career path can serve as a model for those 

students who may not follow the traditional route 

of going straight from law school to a job with an 

established law fi rm. You co-founded an e-commerce 

company, served as the head of Columbia House, 

and now are the CEO of one of America’s most 

recognizable brands in Playboy Enterprises, Inc. How 

did Indiana Law prepare you for the successful career 

you’ve had, and what lessons can be drawn from the 

path you’ve taken? 


A. My Indiana Law education makes me feel that in every 

meeting I go into I am intellectually fully empowered to handle 

whatever is thrown at me. There is no interaction you have 

in business that’s more intense than law school. Having gone 

through the intellectual boot camp of law school makes every 

business situation unintimidating, and that’s one hell of an 

advantage. Almost every business decision I make has to be 

documented by a contract of some sort. That’s just what IP 

and copyright businesses do. It’s rare for an agreement to end 

up in litigation, but when it does happen, what’s important is 

reaching a basic meeting of the minds. Understanding the issues 

viscerally, as opposed to just understanding them technically, 

comes out of the rigor of a three-year legal education. When 

you think about a legal education, it has such a broad value. 

My sense is that business is about human interaction. It’s 

about moving people and getting them to make decisions 

that benefi t you both. I think a legal education prepares a 

person to be able to achieve that true win-win negotiation in 

business arrangements. I never expected to practice law when 

I went to law school. I went into it with a view that being 

in a legal library working to one day be part of a fi rm just 

wouldn’t be fulfi lling for me. It’s not what I had in mind. I 

hope more of our graduates can take a nontraditional approach 

to their careers. They can distinguish themselves. When you’re 

competing to get into a top law fi rm, you’re competing against 

other top students from across the country. But in the business 

world, you’ve got such an advantage with a legal education. Life 

is a bit easier. 

Q. Do you have any advice for alumni who are 

looking to get more involved with the School? 

What can they do to help the School right now? 

A. We need more graduates from the ’80s and ’90s to get 

involved. We have a seasoned Board of Visitors which can bring 

a certain cachet. But as one of the younger members 

at age 52, we need a younger group to start getting more active, 

too. We have a very committed group of alumni and Board 

of Visitors and we need grads from the ’80s and ’90s to start 

stepping up. There is room for their ideas and contributions. 

Many feel that they are still too busy building their careers at 

this point in their lives, but I think they’re missing out on how 

much they can get if they get involved. I think many would 

fi nd it the perfect outlet. Plus, the School always benefi ts 

from the time and expertise of alumni at various stages in 

their careers. Personally, I’d love to talk to our alumni to fi gure 

out how they can help get involved. E-mail me at sfl anders@ 

playboy.com, and we’ll get something together.

Giving by 

class 

The Fund for Excellence 2008–2009 Campaign raised more than $1 million 

for the third year in a row. The campaign was conducted during the fi scal 

year from July 1 through June 30. This Honor Roll of Donors recognizes gifts 

made from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Gifts made after June 30, 

2009, will be recognized in the 2009–2010 Honor Roll. 

Special recognition must be given to Don Dorfman, class agent for the Class 

of 1957, and to Frank Tolbert, class agent for the Class of 1955, who each had 

alumni participation rates of at least 50 percent. Also, special congratulations 

are in order for Larry Fisher, class agent for the Class of 1968, for most dollars 

raised ($63,100) and to Daniel Serban and Marce Gonzalez, class agents for 

the Class of 1982, for raising the second-highest amount of dollars ($43,297). 

Thank you to all of our class agents and alumni for helping make this year’s 

Fund for Excellence Campaign a huge success!

Geoffrey Slaughter, 

JD’89 

Partner, Taft Stettinius & 

Hollister LLP 

Living in Indianapolis has its advantages for Geoffrey Slaughter. When it comes 

to supporting the Law School, Slaughter is just an hour away from attending a 

Board of Visitors meeting or volunteering to serve as a Moot Court judge. 

“I learned many years ago how much I get back from giving to the Law School,” 

Slaughter said. “Whether it’s coming down for a football weekend and stopping 

by the School to talk with students for 15 minutes or judging Moot Court, the 

students always appreciate hearing from alums who are practicing lawyers.” 

Slaughter earned his JD in 1989, spent two years in a federal judicial clerkship 

in South Bend, Ind., then moved to Chicago for a job with a large law fi rm. At 

the same time, former Dean Fred Aman was seeking out alumni from outside 

the Bloomington and Indianapolis regions to get more involved with the School. 

Slaughter jumped at the opportunity, but fate made things even easier when he 

accepted a position as counsel to the Indiana attorney general. What was supposed 

to be a year or two in Indianapolis has become a permanent home for Slaughter 

and his wife, Julie, also a lawyer. Now a partner at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, 

Slaughter is able to return to Bloomington whenever he is needed. 

Time isn’t Slaughter’s only gift to the School; he has been active in fundraising 

over the last decade. 

“It’s important to me to give back to the Law School, which afforded me with so 

many opportunities,” Slaughter said. “That’s part of the culture I was raised in. 

The Law School and Indiana University are very important to Julie and me.” 

Slaughter said this is a crucial time for the School. With the hiring of exceptional 

new faculty, a successful capital campaign, and a surge in the recent U.S. News & 

World Report rankings, he said the School can solidify its reputation as one of the 

top public law schools in the nation. 

“There’s no question we’re at a crossroads right now,” he said. “Dean Robel’s 

terrifi c leadership has put us on the threshold of some amazing opportunities for 

the School. We’re already doing some very exciting things, and further goals are 

within our reach.” 

Slaughter encourages alumni to consider getting involved with the School in 

one capacity or another, even if it’s simply keeping an ear to the ground for 

possible job opportunities for current students or recent graduates. As current 

students search for career options in a challenging economy, even a tip in the right 

direction could pay huge dividends. 

“It’s never too late to get involved,” Slaughter said. “Alumni involvement can be 

modest or ambitious. Of course, money always helps. We’ve had some incredible 

gifts from the Lilly Endowment and the Maurer family, but we also have alumni 

who have never written a check for any amount. Yet even modest participation 

from those who haven’t given before can truly add up.”

Lilly Endowment gift brings fi ve 

exceptional scholars to Indiana Law 

Five new faculty members have joined Indiana Law’s teaching ranks, strengthening the School’s already outstanding faculty. 

The Lilly Endowment’s $25 million grant to the Law School in December 2007 was designated for faculty retention and 

the recruitment of top scholars. From established researchers to up-and-coming legal academics, the Lilly Endowment’s 

exceptional gift is being put into action with the addition of new faculty. All fi ve began their teaching duties this fall. 

An associate professor, Brian Broughman came to Indiana Law from University of California– 

Berkeley, where he had been a visiting assistant professor. Broughman’s scholarship focuses on 

corporate governance, fi nancial contracting, and law and social norms. He recently presented 

a new research project (co-authored with Jesse Fried, professor of law at the University of 

California–Berkeley) titled “Do Venture Capitalists Use Inside Financing to Dilute Founders?” 

at the Midwest Law and Economics Association conference. 

Mark Janis, JD’89, professor and Ira C. Batman Faculty Fellow, is spearheading the Law 

School’s emerging intellectual property program. He is excited about recruiting top students 

interested in pursuing legal careers in IP fi elds and expanding programs in both patent and 

trademark/copyright law. He recently participated in a panel discussion on the U.S. Supreme 

Court’s decision in In re Bilski. 

Within a few days of moving to Bloomington, Jayanth Krishnan, the Charles L. Whistler 

Faculty Fellow, was on a plane to India, where the Law School announced its new Center 

on the Global Legal Profession. A noted scholar on globalization and the law, Krishnan is 

working closely with Professor William Henderson and others to secure the Law School’s 

position as a leader in the study of the global legal profession. He presented “Comparative Legal 

Methodologies in India” at the American Society of Comparative Law Meeting in October. 

A former Bristow Fellow in the solicitor general’s offi ce and clerk for Judge Michael McConnell 

of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, Ryan Scott is teaching in the areas of 

criminal law and procedure and federal jurisdiction. His expertise on federal sentencing 

guidelines was recently sought by The Wall Street Journal for an extensive article on variations 

in criminal sentences by federal judges. 

A former visiting assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, Deborah Widiss has bolstered 

the Law School’s offerings in family law, the course she is teaching this fall semester. Her 

work has been published by Notre Dame, Florida State, and the Harvard Journal of Law & 

Gender. Earlier this year, Widiss was a winner of the Association of American Law Schools’ 

annual scholarly papers competition, which recognizes excellent scholarship by junior faculty. 

She recently participated in a panel discussion at the Law School on marriage and 

employment rights.

Friends, ffaculty, 

staff, and students 

Friends, faculty, staff, and students have a close bond to the School. 

The IU Maurer School of Law especially appreciates their support.

Class of 

2009 campaign 

Class of ’09 sets fi ve-year 

pledge challenge 

Give $20.09 for 2009 and give time in 2009 

Pledge campaign co-chairs: Paul R. Hogan & Ross D. Eberly 

Since 2004, each graduating class has participated in a fund-raising campaign to solicit pledges 

of fi nancial support for the Law School. The Class of 2009 decided to add a new component 

to its campaign where graduates could also pledge a gift of service to the Law School. In a 

diffi cult economic year, this was a great option for many students. They selected the themes, 

“Give $20.09 for 2009” and “Give Time in 2009” and challenged each other to step forward 

and support their School. 

Thank you to the members of the Class of 2009 for their commitment to the future 

of our School.

Kimberling: 

This is the time 

to start giving 

In his home state of California, John F. “Jack” Kimberling 

has seen a trend that he believes will spread eastward before 

too long. The University of California system increased 

student fees by 32 percent in late November, giving 

many students doubts about their ability to afford higher 

education. As this trend continues, higher education will rely 

more than ever on private support 

“It used to be, in the golden days, a university was principally 

funded by the state and the legislature,” Kimberling, JD’50, 

said recently from his home in Palm Springs. “That’s no 

longer true. As more and more support has dwindled from 

the state, we have to depend more and more on private 

giving. That’s why it’s so important for the Law School to 

have private funding sources.” 

Kimberling is one of the top private donors to the Law 

School. After an extremely successful career in Los Angeles 

— The American Lawyer once called him one of the top trial 

lawyers in the country — Kimberling endowed a chair in

his name, served as national co-chair for IU’s endowment 

campaign in the 1980’s, was a steering committee member 

of the Campaign for Indiana, and has served as a visiting law 

professor and member of the Law School’s Board of Visitors. 

He was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Service 

Award from the university in 2001, the highest honor an 

alumnus can receive. 

Kimberling’s longtime involvement with the Law School 

has reinforced his belief that it is essential to give back to 

the School that helped start him on a lifelong journey of 

success. “So many times we go through life, we pay off 

our mortgage, we educate our children, and now we’re in 

a position where we can do things for others,” Kimberling 

said. “We can do things for the Law School, for society, for 

our communities. It means so much to me to give back to a 

place that is doing so much good for the profession. What’s 

happening here in California is going to happen in Indiana. 

There will be a shortage of state funds, and IU and the Law 

School are going to be facing more of a shortage of money 

from the state and depending more on private giving. This is 

the time to start giving.” 

Part of Kimberling’s long-term view of the School’s future 

includes his leadership in planned giving. He said many 

“We can do things for the Law School, for society, for 

our communities. It means so much to me to give back 

to a place that is doing so much good for the profession. 

What’s happening here in California is going to happen 

in Indiana. There will be a shortage of state funds, and 

IU and the Law School are going to be facing more of 

a shortage of money from the state and depending more 

on private giving. This is the time to start giving.” 

— John F. “Jack” Kimberling, JD’50 

H ONOR ROLL 

alumni don’t realize they can include gifts to the Law School 

as part of their estate planning. Kimberling himself has 

established several charitable trusts to benefi t the School. By 

naming the Law School as a benefi ciary in a will, trust, or 

insurance policy, donors can secure their current fi nancial 

needs while assisting the Law School in the future. Dean 

Regenovich, assistant dean for advancement, said his offi ce 

can help guide donors through the various options available 

to them. 

Kimberling encouraged alumni to think about the future 

and consider the Law School in their plans. “It’s important 

for alumni and others to give some thought to their estate 

planning and to gifts they give out of their estates,” he said. 

“A lot of us don’t give a thought to that, so the Heritage 

Society can be an important vehicle to achieving that goal. 

We often go about our lives and careers as lawyers, and 

we forget how important the Law School has been to us. 

The School has enabled us to have careers and lives that 

have been successful. We cannot forget how much the Law 

School gave to us. It’s important to give back, and these 

planned gifts we can make are an easy way.”

provide a framework 

for lasting bequests and 

to foster future legal 

education, the Heritage

chairs, professorships, or 

scholarships. The generosity 

of Heritage Society 

members ensures that the 

School of Law can continue 

to offer the highest quality 

legal education.

Heritage Society is open 

to all who make or have 

made a planned or deferred 

gift commitment to 

the Law School. This is 

accomplished by naming 

the IU Maurer School 

of Law as a benefi ciary 

through a bequest in a 

will, charitable remainder 

unitrust or annuity trust, 

pooled income fund, 

charitable gift annuity, 

life insurance, retirement 

plan, or other life-income 

arrangements. Members

Giving to the Fund 

for Excellence 

Annual giving is vital to the Indiana University Maurer School of 

Law’s mission to provide excellence in legal education. The Fund 

for Excellence — our annual giving program — provides the 

dean with the fl exibility to enhance academic and co-curricular 

programs that make the crucial difference between an adequate 

education and a truly excellent one. 

Student Programs 

Law students benefi t directly from your gift to the Fund 

for Excellence, which supports all of the Law School’s 

student services and programs beyond classroom education. 

Contributions to the Fund for Excellence go toward scholarships; 

three law journals; 25 student organizations; fi ve centers; 

community advocacy programs; the Law Library; and the offi ces 

of Career and Professional Development, Admissions, and 

Student Affairs. These programs, to name only a few, are essential 

in preparing our students to serve the profession and their 

communities according to the highest standards. 

Alumni Support 

Every gift to the Fund for Excellence, at any level, infl uences 

the School’s successes. Strong evidence of alumni support is 

important to the School’s ability to leverage funding from other 

sources. Corporations, foundations, and potential major donors 

frequently use alumni participation rates (i.e., how many alumni 

give, not the total amount of the gifts) when deciding whether 

to award grants or make signifi cant gifts. Matching gifts from 

employers also increase dollars raised for the Fund for Excellence. 

Reputation 

The Fund for Excellence supports mission-critical programs that 

greatly improve the Law School’s reputation. As the School’s 

reputation increases, so does the value of your degree. 

For more information, please contact Lisa Hosey, Director of 

Annual Giving & Stewardship, at (812) 855-9953 or via e-mail 

at lhosey@indiana.edu.

Six inducted into Academy 

of Law Alumni Fellows 

Six alumni were inducted into the Law School’s Academy of Law Alumni Fellows in April. They were recognized 

for their dedication to the highest standards of the legal profession and their extraordinary personal achievements. 

From the posthumous induction of the School’s fi rst African-American graduate to a lawyer whose persistence and 

dedication led to the overturned conviction of an accused murderer, the 2009 ALAF recipients have made a lasting 

impression on the Law School community and the lives of others. 

Samuel S. Dargan, LLB’09 

(posthumously) 

The fi rst African-American graduate of 

the Law School, Dargan began working 

for the Indiana Law Library after earning 

his degree. He became curator of the Law 

Library in 1924, a position he held until 

retiring in 1948. Known as the “father” of 

the Law School, Dargan would regularly 

give advice and his own money to students 

in need, but his generosity extended to the 

entire IU and Bloomington communities. 

At a time when minority students were 

not permitted to live in university housing, 

Dargan operated “Dargan’s House,” 

the fi rst private dormitory for African- 

American students at IU. He later bought 

other properties to offer housing options to 

minority students. Upon his death in 1954, 

the Indy Times ran an editorial saluting 

Dargan’s achievements. “The memory 

of Mr. Dargan,” the editorial said, “will 

burn long in the minds of Indiana’s 

law graduates.” 

Francina A. Dlouhy, JD’77 

A partner at Baker & Daniels, Dlouhy 

is considered one of the leading tax 

lawyers in America. She has been listed 

in The Best Lawyers in America for more 

than 20 years, named an Indiana Super 

Lawyer, and is a recipient of the state’s 

highest civilian honor — the Sagamore 

of the Wabash. “I’m grateful for this 

recognition,” Dlouhy said. “This induction 

is very meaningful to me, because there is 

not a day that goes by where I don’t use 

something I learned at this Law School.” 

Dlouhy has been honored twice by the 

Indianapolis YWCA with its “Salute to 

Women of Achievement” award, received 

the Antoinette Dakin Leach Award from 

the Indiana Bar Association and named a 

distinguished fellow by the Indianapolis 

Bar Foundation. 

Robert A. Long, JD’71 

Long spent his entire career with Latham 

& Watkins LLP in Los Angeles, where he 

served as managing partner from 1992 to 

1997 and held a variety of management 

roles prior to that time. Long represented 

many of the nation’s leading aerospace 

and computer companies as a business 

litigator and trial lawyer, leading to his 

1999 election to the American College 

of Trial Lawyers. His pro bono work for 

Mario Rocha, a then 16-year-old convicted 

of murder, led to an overturned conviction 

in 2008. The eight-year fi ght to secure 

Rocha’s freedom was the subject of a 

documentary fi lm, Mario’s Story. Long said 

he was humbled to be inducted into the 

ALAF. “My experience at the Law School 

transformed my life in terms of what I’ve 

been able to achieve professionally and who 

I am today,” he said.

Arthur M. Lotz, JD’65 

Lotz graduated from Indiana Law in 

1965 after serving 10 years in the U.S. Air 

Force. After working in the IU Treasurer’s 

offi ce and for the IU Alumni Association, 

Lotz joined the Law School as assistant 

dean for placement and bar relations in 

1978. He became the assistant dean for 

budget administration, bar relations, and 

development in 1980, the position he 

held until he retired in 1996. Under Lotz’s 

direction, the School’s annual fund rose 

from less than $50,000 per year when he 

started the job to more than $800,000 

per year in 1996. He was instrumental in 

securing support and funding for major 

renovations to the Law School during the 

1980’s. The School’s Offi ce of Alumni and 

Development is named in his honor. 

Lloyd H. Milliken Jr., JD’60 

Milliken is nationally renowned for his 

work as a trial lawyer and leader of the 

defense bar. His practice has focused 

primarily on representing defendants in 

product liability cases. He gained national 

recognition for his service as Indiana 

counsel for General Motors in the litigation 

against NBC arising out of the Dateline 

program that misrepresented the effect of 

high-speed crashes involving GM trucks. 

He has been inducted into the American 

College of Trial Lawyers and was named 

the Defense Trial Counsel of Indiana’s 

Defense Lawyer of the Year in 1993. In 

2007, Milliken was elected the inaugural 

president of the National Foundation 

for Judicial Excellence and received the 

Defense Research Institute’s Louis B. Potter 

Lifetime Professional Services Award. He 

has spent his entire career with Locke 

Reynolds, which recently merged with 

Frost Brown Todd. 

Hunt and Kassing awarded President’s Medals 

A LUMNI NEWS 

Milton R. Stewart, JD’71 

Stewart settled at the fi rm of Davis Wright 

Tremaine in Portland, Ore., after serving 

in the U.S. Army. He served for 13 years 

on the Firm Management (Executive) 

Committee and currently serves as its 

client relations partner. Stewart’s practice 

has focused on structuring merger and 

acquisition transactions, reorganizations, 

and management buyouts. He is the 

author of International Joint Ventures: A 

Practicum for the Journal of the Association 

of Corporate Counsel, and co-authored 

Mergers & Acquisition Law 2007 and 

Winning Legal Strategies for Mergers & 

Acquisitions. Stewart and his wife, Judi, 

regularly host a reception at the IU Art 

Museum to encourage students, faculty, 

and staff members to explore the extensive 

art collection on the Bloomington campus. 

“Virtually everything I am and virtually 

everything I’ve achieved I owe to this 

university and to the three years I 

spent at the Law School,” Stewart said. 

“I am eternally grateful for what you have 

given me.”

Distinguished Service Award 

winners take many paths 

to fulfi lling service 

The recipients of the 2009 Distinguished Service Awards all have different backgrounds, successes, and stories. They 

are united by the IU Maurer School of Law and their dedication to making a difference in both the School and their 

communities. “They go above and beyond in every single way possible, and they set the standards for what we expect 

our students to do,” Dean Lauren Robel said. This year’s recipients were honored on Sept. 25 at a luncheon in the 

Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. 

Lisa McKinney Goldner, JD’92 

Lisa McKinney Goldner’s colleagues have described her service to 

the Indianapolis community and the Law School as “doing well 

by doing good.” Goldner has been a mainstay on the School’s 

Alumni Board since 1996. Robel praised Goldner’s “transformative 

leadership” as board president in 2007. Under Goldner’s leadership, 

the Alumni Board organized committees to increase alumni 

involvement in recruiting top students as well as mentoring them 

in their quest to fi nd jobs. A partner at Bose McKinney & Evans, 

Goldner devotes countless hours to the Indianapolis community, 

volunteering with the American Cancer Society and through the 

McKinney Family Foundation. “My experiences serving nonprofi ts 

have enabled me to serve the community and to follow my passions 

for making others’ lives better,” she said. Goldner said she is grateful 

to the Law School for the education she received. “The Law School 

has played such an incredible and important part of shaping my 

life,” she said. “My professors challenged me to think outside of the 

box and allowed me to follow my mission and dreams.” 

Fred J. Logan Jr., JD’77 

Though he has called Johnson County, Kan., home for the last 

three decades, Fred J. Logan Jr. will always be a Hoosier at heart. 

After graduating from Indiana Law in 1977, Logan worked as 

a law clerk in Bedford, Ind., making the daily commute from 

Bloomington. He still has a photo from his Lawrence County days 

tacked to his offi ce wall. “There is a lot of Indiana in me, and there’s 

a lot of this Law School that I carry with me in my heart every day,” 

Logan said. After opening a law fi rm with his brother, Scott, Logan 

became, at that time, the youngest state leader of a major political 

party in the United States. He has since taken on leadership roles 

with St. Luke’s South Hospital, the Arts Council of Metropolitan 

Kansas City, and United Community Services. Logan said he 

recognizes the duties and responsibilities that come with being a 

lawyer. “When we practice law, we are given a privilege. It is truly 

a noble calling,” he said. “When we can add public service to our 

mission, we have the privilege of making our communities better by 

doing our part to fi ll in the blanks.” For his public service efforts in 

Kansas, Logan was named Johnson Countian of the Year in 2008. 

“Fred’s life and career exemplify what one lawyer can do to shape an 

entire community,” Robel said.

Edward C. King, JD’64 

From Detroit to Micronesia, Edward C. King pursued a legal 

career that has taken him all over the world. After six years serving 

as a corporate lawyer, King and his wife, Joan, decided they could 

achieve more good by doing more good. “Joan said we could live 

a more simple life and do more good and help more people,” 

King said. “Life as a corporate attorney just seemed wrong to us 

at the time.” So, he decided to dedicate his time to helping those 

with little power or wealth fi nd a voice for their legal needs. After 

serving as director of the Center for Urban Law and Housing at 

the University of Detroit Law School, King and his family moved 

to Micronesia, where he became chief of litigation for Micronesian 

Legal Services. King returned to the United States to direct the 

National Senior Citizens Law Center (NSCLC), which advocates 

for and promotes the independence and well-being of low-income 

elderly and disabled Americans. In 1980, King was asked to become 

the fi rst chief justice of the now self-governing Federated States 

of Micronesia. He held that position for 12 years then served as 

a justice in two other Pacifi c Island jurisdictions and as a Federal 

Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court for Hawaii. King 

returned to the NSCLC in 2002, where he continued his advocacy 

for the elderly and disabled before retiring in 2007. 

Arthur A. Lopez, JD’83 

A LUMNI NEWS 

Arthur A. Lopez has achieved phenomenal success in his 

professional life. He has served as director of civil rights for the 

Federal Transit Administration and special counsel to former 

President Clinton. But, he takes the most pride in helping at-risk 

youth discover their potential through swimming. In 2006, Lopez 

founded Nadar Por Vida. Its English translation — Swimming 

for Life — can be interpreted in many ways. “So many people 

want to help at-risk kids succeed. We now have a program that 

can help them achieve that,” Lopez said. By holding practices on 

weekend nights, swimmers in the program have an outlet from 

the dangers on the street. A latecomer to the Law School — Lopez 

was accepted at age 29 — he has wasted no time helping the youth 

of Washington, D.C., or his alma mater. Despite a busy career 

as special assistant to the deputy director of the Offi ce of Agency 

Programs in the U.S. Offi ce of Government Ethics, Lopez was 

a founding member and chair of Indiana Law’s Latino Alumni 

Advisory Board. Robel said Lopez’s commitment to the School 

and to bettering his community is “truly inspiring.”

Letter from the Alumni Board President Brian Williams 

Your Law School needs 

YOU now! 

Visualize Dean 

Lauren Robel 

dressed as Uncle 

Sam pointing her 

fi nger at YOU in a 

similar fashion as the 

iconic government 

recruiting poster. 

You ask, “And why 

does my Law School 

need me?” Because, 

as it was put at the 

recent Indiana Law 

Alumni Summit, 

there is a “global 

war on legal jobs.” 

According to the 

School’s Offi ce of 

Career & Professional Development, reports indicate that in 

the past 18 months more than 25,000 legal jobs have been 

lost across the United States. This is why your Law School 

needs you now! 

The Law School needs each and every alumnus who reads 

these words to provide Michael Keller (mikeller@indiana. 

edu), assistant dean for OCPD, at least one employment 

lead for the current law graduates. These employment leads 

could be with local state court judges or magistrates, they 

could be with local banks or with legal aid organizations, 

they could be with prosecutor or criminal defense offi ces, or 

they could simply be for hourly contract work. Leads could 

be with your own or with other law offi ces. 

I hope you get the idea. Your Law School and its graduates 

are looking for any lead for legal jobs. They will even 

accept leads for non-paying legal jobs. 

Next you ask, “And why is this important to me or 

the School?” First and foremost, it is the right thing to 

do. Each of us wanted our fi rst legal job and so do the 

students today. Secondly, our Law School is evaluated each 

year on the number of graduates employed nine months 

after graduation. To be a highly regarded — and ranked 

— Law School, our graduates must be employed. 

If our alumni funnel employment leads to OCPD, they 

will follow up. Please help our Law School win this “global 

war on legal jobs.” Picture Dean Robel pointing at you. 

Send those employment leads today.

Kam C. Wong, JD’78, associate professor

On July 30, Don Dorfman, JD’57, was featured on 

Investigation Discovery channel’s Wicked Attraction 

series, which profi les behind-the-scenes investigations 

into murder cases and high-profi le serial killers. “A 

Mother’s Love” details the 45-year-old case of a mother 

who was accused of shooting her husband to death and, 

years later, murdering her two daughters. 

In 1964, Dorfman was a young deputy district attorney 

assigned to prosecute Theresa Sanders, who shot her 

husband, Clifford, to death. She confessed the crime to 

her neighbor, who happened to be the sheriff’s wife. 

In addition, several witnesses had allegedly heard her 

threaten to kill her husband during their marriage. “It was a standard murder case,” 

Dorfman said. But the case took an unexpected turn when Sanders claimed she was 

abused and shot her husband in self-defense. The judge decided not to allow the 

corroborating evidence or the confession to go to jury. 

“She was not only acquitted, but the jury hugged her,” Dorfman said. Theresa 

Knorr (nee Sanders) later asked Dorfman to represent her in divorce proceedings 

from her second husband. “She said she knew that if she was ever in trouble she 

wanted me to fi ght on her side. I declined,” he recalled. 

Many years later, he received a phone call from one of Knorr’s sons. “He said that 

his mother wanted me to represent her, but not to do it because she had murdered 

two of her daughters by shooting one and setting her on fi re and locking the other 

in a closet and leaving her there to die,” said Dorfman, who did not represent her. 

Knorr initially pleaded not guilty to the murders. But, after learning one of her sons 

had agreed to testify against her, she entered guilty pleas to both crimes and was 

sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison.

Law School honors 

Professor John Scanlan 

For more than 20 years, Professor John Scanlan has driven 

400 miles round trip, from South Bend to Bloomington, to 

teach at IU. After a distinguished career in which he’s been 

recognized for his extraordinary work on immigration law, 

Scanlan retired from teaching this spring. 

Colleagues, family, and friends gathered in the Indiana 

Memorial Union on May 6 to commemorate Scanlan’s 

retirement. 

“There are not many people who would put up with 20 

years of commuting 400 miles a week, but John has never 

been like everyone else,” said Professor Alex Tanford. “The 

mix of personal and academic interests has fueled his long 

fascination with immigration, especially how we respond 

to the tired, poor, and hungry masses of disadvantaged 

immigrants yearning to breathe American air. From the Irish 

in the 19th century to Haitians and Mexicans in the 20th, 

John has written, taught, and cared about the plight of poor 

immigrants coming to this country. He also practices what 

he teaches and has handled a number of immigration cases 

in Chicago.” 

Scanlan joined Indiana Law in 1984 after teaching for several 

years at Notre Dame. Though he left Notre Dame to head the 

Law and Sports Center at the Law School, he never left South 

Bend. That dedication, colleagues said, was just one example 

of what made Scanlan such a special instructor. 

“John has been so passionate about teaching students to 

write well, political theory, and how we treat immigrants and 

refugees,” Dean Lauren Robel said. “For John, he has always 

been about ideas and expressing them really, really well.” 

Scanlan’s passion for legal writing extended not just to the 

students in his classroom, but to his peers as well. 

Professor Kevin Brown recalled bringing an early draft of one 

of his fi rst scholarly publications to Scanlan for advice. “You’ve 

been as instrumental in my legal scholarship as anyone in the 

legal academy,” Brown said. 

After comments from fellow faculty members, Scanlan’s wife, 

Margaret, unveiled her husband’s portrait that now hangs on 

the wall of a classroom in the Law School. 

“When I came here in 1984, I wasn’t really sure where my 

career was going,” Scanlan said. “One of the things I appreciate 

about this School is what a challenging and welcoming 

environment it is. My experience teaching here was wonderful. 

It’s been amazing, some of the things I’ve seen here. It’s been a 

true joy, and I look forward to seeing you all again.”
