A MESSAGE
FROM THE
DEAN
Dear alumni and friends:
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 firstyear 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 influential 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
The Indiana University Maurer School of Law reached
several significant 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 five
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

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 financial
support, serve on advisory boards, judge moot court, donate
scholarships, teach classes, and mentor our students in
myriad ways.
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 Office 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 benefited 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.

Dean Regenovich, Lisa Hosey, and Brian Kearney
Development office
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 finish 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 financial support.
“Our first 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 find 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 financial 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 specific purposes,”
Regenovich said. “We have incredible opportunities in
student programs, clinical programs, student support, and
other areas where alumni can really make a difference.”
2008–2009 ANNUAL FUND
Regenovich noted that donors can determine exactly how
their gifts are used. A gift can be for something as specific 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 Officer Brian
Kearney and Director of Annual Giving and Stewardship
Lisa Hosey, work with alumni to find 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 specific 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-figure 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 financial gifts are great, we
need sweat equity just as much. Come spend some time in
our classrooms. Help in mentoring our students. Help them
find job opportunities. All of these are important pieces to
building the future of the Law School.”
The development office is actively working with its
counterparts in the Office 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 finest art collections on
a university campus. Milt and Judi
Stewart stood on the steps, watching
many law students experience the
museum for the first 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.
“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.”

“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
2008–2009 ANNUAL FUND
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
financial aid. I can’t tell you that I fully
appreciated that then, but I
do now.”
Center on the Global Legal Profession’s Comparative
Law Program named in honor of Stewart
Stewart said the generosity of others
gave him the opportunity to better
himself. He now hopes others will do
the same.
“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 Pacific Rim would play in the
world economy.”
“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.”
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.
That doesn’t necessarily mean financial
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 firm’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 finding
ways to reconnect with the School.
Find your way.”
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.
“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 first 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
officials, 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 specific legal skill set. For me, the benefit 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.
8
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 financial 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 financially — 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 qualified students
regardless of their financial 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 significantly
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 financial 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.
2008–2009 ANNUAL FUND
Q. Not only are you one of the Law School’s
top financial 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 firm 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 firm. 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 benefit 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 firm just
wouldn’t be fulfilling 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 firm, 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
find it the perfect outlet. Plus, the School always benefits
from the time and expertise of alumni at various stages in
their careers. Personally, I’d love to talk to our alumni to figure
out how they can help get involved. E-mail me at sflanders@
playboy.com, and we’ll get something together.

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 fiscal
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!

HONOR ROLL
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 firm. 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
terrific 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.”

HONOR ROLL
Lilly Endowment gift brings five
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 five 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, financial 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 fields 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 office 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.

Class of ’09 sets five-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 financial 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
difficult 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.”
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 benefit the School. By
naming the Law School as a beneficiary in a will, trust, or
insurance policy, donors can secure their current financial
needs while assisting the Law School in the future. Dean
Regenovich, assistant dean for advancement, said his office
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.”
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

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

HONOR ROLL
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 flexibility 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 benefit 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; five centers;
community advocacy programs; the Law Library; and the offices
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, influences
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 significant 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.

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

ALUMNI NEWS
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 first 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 first 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 first private dormitory for AfricanAmerican 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
Robert A. Long, JD’71
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.
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 fight to secure
Rocha’s freedom was the subject of a
documentary film, 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
Lloyd H. Milliken Jr., JD’60
Milton R. Stewart, JD’71
Lotz graduated from Indiana Law in
1965 after serving 10 years in the U.S. Air
Force. After working in the IU Treasurer’s
office 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 Office of Alumni and
Development is named in his honor.
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.
Stewart settled at the firm 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.”

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

Lisa McKinney Goldner, JD’92
Fred J. Logan Jr., JD’77
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 find 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 nonprofits
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.”
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 office 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 firm 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 fill 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
Arthur A. Lopez, JD’83
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 find 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 first 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 Pacific 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 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 Office of Agency
Programs in the U.S. Office 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
finger 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 Office 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 offices, or
they could simply be for hourly contract work. Leads could
be with your own or with other law offices.
46
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 first 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.

Dorfman featured in Discovery
Channel documentary
On July 30, Don Dorfman, JD’57, was featured on
Investigation Discovery channel’s Wicked Attraction
series, which profiles behind-the-scenes investigations
into murder cases and high-profile 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 fight 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 fire 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 first 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.”
