Law School
IU School of Law-Indianapolis Named for Business and Civic Leader Robert H. McKinney. On Dec. 1, 2011, IU President Michael A. McRobbie announced the naming of Indiana University School of Law- Indianapolis to Indiana University Robert H.
McKinney School of Law in honor of Indianapolis attorney, banker, and civic leader Robert H.
McKinney in recognition of the largest gift ever received by our school, and one of the largest in legal education. His gift of $24 million, along with matching funds committed through the IUPUI IMPACT fundraising campaign, brought the total value of the gift to $31.5 million. The landmark gift will provide funding for five endowed chairs to attract and retain nationally recognized scholar-teachers to the faculty. The gift will also create a $17.5 million endowment to fund McKinney Family Scholarships for outstanding students. Bob McKinney stated that our law school plays a vital role in developing the leaders Indiana needs to succeed and that he was excited to be able to make a commitment that will help the school build on its proud heritage and achieve its goal of being one of the best law schools in the country.
Originally trained as an engineer, McKinney received his law degree from IU and holds a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Naval Academy. Until his retirement in 2005, he served as chairman and CEO of First Indiana Corp., parent company of First Indiana Bank…

(now known as M&I Bank). He was also a founding partner of Bose, McKinney & Evans LLP, an Indianapolis law firm from which he retired in 1992.
Hall Center Welcomes Health Law Expert Nicolas Terry to the Faculty. Nicolas Terry, leading
authority in the intersection of medicine, law and information technology, has joined our law school as the Hall Render Professor of Law and co-director of the Hall Center for Law and Health. Before joining our school on January 1st, Professor Terry was the Chester A. Myers Professor of Law at Saint Louis University School of Law, where he taught torts, products liability, health information technology, law and science, and health care quality. He was co- director of SLU’s top-ranked Center for Health Law Studies from 2000 to 2008. From 2008 to 2010, Professor Terry served as SLU’s senior associate dean.
Born in England, he was educated at Kingston University and the University of Cambridge, and he first taught at the University of Exeter in England before joining the Saint Louis faculty. He will lead our Hall Center with co-director Dr. and
Professor David Orentlicher. Professor Terry replaces the Center’s founding director for 24 years, Eleanor DeArman Kinney, who retired from IU in June, 2011.
The Hall Center will celebrate its 25th year this April.
New Joint Degree Program made the National Jurist. The newly created joint law and medical degree program at the Indiana University Robert H.
McKinney School of Law was introduced and featured in an article in the National Jurist on Oct. 7, 2011.
The article included information about the joint degree program and how it was created and quoted several statements made by Professor Priscilla Keith, the Director of Research and Projects at the Hall Center for Law and Health. It mentioned how the degree can be wrapped up in just six years, as opposed to the common seven-year time frame, and gives students the option of matriculating into starting with either the law school or medical school first. (Many schools in the U.S. requires the medical school first.) Mention was also made of the new concentration in Environmental and Natural Resources Law and the Global Crisis Leadership Forum that took place in Oct., 2011.

This year’s 2012 auction will benefit the Bette J. Dick GAL for Kids Program at Kids’ Voice of Indiana.
Children who are involved in divorce, visitations, guardianship, adoption, or paternity cases often have no voice in the decisions that will impact the rest of their lives. The GAL for Kids Program tries to fill that void by providing volunteer guardian ad litems (GAL). GALs are community volunteers, pro bono attorneys, and law students who are trained to represent and protect the best interest of children by giving them a voice. Increasing the number of trained volunteers is important for serving the growing population of children that need a voice and Women’s Caucus is hoping to provide the resources to train 40 new volunteers.
