Indiana University General Statement

Created in 1820 by an Act of the General Assembly, Indiana University has grown until it is now ranked the eleventh largest university in the nation in terms of full-time enrollment. The University is composed of ten academic schools and divisions, with a faculty exceeding 2,500, 82 per cent holding the Ph.D. degree. To meet the needs of approximately 36,000 full- and part-time students, the University offers 5,000 courses of instruction in more than 100 departments. Its graduate divisions offer 19 advanced degrees in 62 areas.

Students from all fifty states and from many foreign nations are enrolled on its main, Medical Center, and regional campuses. Indiana University is in year-round operation, with two regular semesters and a three-session summer program which is one of the largest in the nation.

Campuses. The main campus of the University at Bloomington comprises 2,000 acres of woodland traversed by the meandering stream known to generations of students as the Jordan River. Most major academic buildings are confined to the area between Third and Tenth Streets and Indiana and Jordan Avenues, while residence halls, fraternity and sorority houses, and University service divisions border this area.

Buildings for the most part are constructed of native limestone, enhancing the natural beauty of the campus.

The 80-acre Medical Center Campus, located less than one mile from downtown Indianapolis, encompasses the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry and the Division of Allied Health Sciences. On this campus are numerous academic and administrative buildings, clinical and research laboratories, residence halls, and the Union Building. The Medical Center has extensive hospital facilities, providing students with practical experience in patient care and health education.

Regional campuses and centers, most of them in new buildings and expanded set- tings, are located in East Chicago, Fort Wayne, Gary, Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Richmond, South Bend, and Vincennes.

Additional University facilities include Bradford Woods, Crooked Lake, the Geological Field Station in Montana, the Monroe County Reservoir biology site, the Goethe Link Observatory, and Camp Brosius at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Libraries. Ranked eleventh in size among university libraries in America, the Indiana University library system contains more than 4,500,000 items; Most of the books and periodicals have been selected by the faculties of the various departments to facilitate both instr~ction and research. Comprising the University library system are a main library, for graduate and faculty use; an undergraduate library; the Lilly Library, for special collections and rare books; the several libraries at the ' regional campuses;. school libraries, such as Music, Medicine, Law, etc.; and collections at housing units in the Halls of Residence system. In addition, many departments have collections. centered around their specific areas of interest.

FEES

Indiana University does not charge resident students a tuition fee for the cost of instruction. Fees charged nonresidents cover in part the cost of instruction. A portion of fees is allocated for cultural and recreational uses and for health services.

Fees are paid at the time of registration each semester and are subject to change by action of the Trustees.

Fee Courtesy. Faculty and staff members and their wives receive 50 per cent reduction in basic fees; there is no reduction in special fees, rentals, or deposits.

School of Law

GENERAL ST A TEMENT A Venerable Tradition

In 1838 the General Assembly of the state of Indiana directed that education be provided in the science of law. The Indiana University School of Law was opened in 1842 and became the first state university law school in the Midwest. In the official announcement of its establishment, the Board of Trustees declared that the School should be "one in which the student shall be so trained that he shall never, in the attorney, forget the scholar and the gentleman." In this tradition the School has operated for more than one hundred years. It is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools and is approved by the American Bar Association.

In the summer of 1944 the Indiana University School of Law and the Indiana Law School of Indianapolis were consolidated, the latter representing earlier consolida- tions of the Indianapolis College of Law, American Central Law School, Benjamin Harrison Law School, and Indiana Law School.

The Indianapolis Division, located at 102 West Michigan Street, is operated for the benefit of students who are unable to devote full time to the study of law and who thus can carry only a part of the studies regarded as the normal load for a full-time student in the Bloomington Division.

The total enrollment in the School of Law for the academic year 1964-65 was 914.

The Study of Law

The individual who plans to study law should consider the possibilities of the legal profession as clearly and definitely as he can in order to decide whether or not they suit his purposes in life. Aside from administrative work in business, labor, social service organizations, or public agencies, to which law study often leads, lawyers engage in private practice, alone or in firms, in small communities and large; they serve in salaried positions in business corporations, banks, insurance companies, trade associations, the courts, and government offices, shifting from the practice of law to elective or appointive office and back again. The good lawyer must, of course, expect to make an average living from his profession but should not anticipate great wealth. His principal reward comes rather from the interest of his work and from the opportunities for effective civic and human service which legal activity offers, or should offer, in the society in which he lives and of which he is a part. With patience, courage, integrity, and willingness to work, he will find that his profession affords him a place of respect among his fellow men, as well as a means of livelihood.

Law training for these ends is difficult but not impossible. It requires a good collegiate background of oral and written expression, an understanding of history, a familiarity with science, and an appreciation of the social, political, and economic problems of our society. No single course of prelegal study can supply these elements for all students; and they may, indeed, be compounded in varying proportions. The student's pursuit of genuine intellectual interests, of whatever nature so long as not too narrow in range, is to be preferred over any prescription that might be written.

The cultured man who conforms to no set pattern makes the best lawyer.

More than attendance in classes and the successful completion of examinations, the study of law calls for enrichment of the student's knowledge and capacity through extensive reading and writing; and no student should deprive himself of this aspect of his education because of outside employment or other reasons. Law deals with all

(7)

(12)

of life, and the judgments that must be reached in formulating and administering it involve a wide range of human experience.

Because the first-year student needs to do highly concentrated work in order to become oriented to law study, he should not commence the academic year unless he is reasonably certain that he can complete it without withholding significant amounts of time from his studies. Full-time study after the first year, however, is not inconsistent with a strictly limited amount of outside employment. Accordingly, in case of need, the faculty does not advise against employment during the second and third years, if it is not unusually fatiguing and if it does not divert more than approximately 15 hours a week from the time available for study. Students who need financial help should seek advice through the Office of the Dean.

Honors and Recognition

Indiana Law Journal. The Indiana Law Journal is published four times a year under the editorial supervision of the School of Law. The student board of editors consists of second-, third-, and fourth-year students selected on the basis of scholastic average. Students may receive 2 hours of credit for each semester of satisfactory participation. Work on the Journal excuses a student from the required seminar and course in legal techniques.

Only student work of exceptional quality is published in the Indiana Law Journal.

Work on the Journal is regarded as one of the best elements in a legal education for it stimulates creative ability, thoroughness of research, and resourcefulness in legal study. Service upon outstanding law reviews, such as the Indiana Law Journal, has long been recognized by leading law firms of the country as of first importance in the selection of recent graduates.

Graduation with Honors. A student who has complied with the requirements for the degree LL.B. or J.D., and who has attained an outstanding scholastic average in work done in the School of Law, may be graduated "With Distinction," "With High Distinction," or "With Highest Distinction." This honor is noted on the student's diploma and on the Commencement program.

Order of the Coif. A student fulfilling the requirements for the LL.B. or J.D.

degree who is in the upper 10 per cent of those graduated during the academic year may be elected to the Order of the Coif.

Sherman Minton Moot Court Competition

All second- and third-year students at the Bloomington Division are eligible to participate in the Sherman Minton Moot Court Competition. Established to honor the late Hoosier Justice, the Competition is conducted on an elimination basis. Two- man teams of students argue a hypothetical case of current interest before panels of judges composed of practising attorneys, state and federal judges, and members of the faculty. Names of the winning team members are engraved on a plaque, located in the Moot Court Room, which was presented to the School by the Law School Alumni Association and the Student Bar Association. The Indiana Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers present an award to the best oralist in the final argument; the West Publishing Company and the Bobbs-Merrill Company present awards to members of both teams competing in the final argument.

Law Library

The library of the Bloomington Division contains 107,995 volumes representing the Anglo-American materials. necessary for study and research. The collection of reported American cases is almost complete. The session law collection is complete or substantially complete for all states and territories; · there are current compiled statutes for all. One of the strongest sections is the periodical collection. More than 500 titles are currently received, and nearly all of the back files are complete.

(13)

SCHOOL OF LAW 9 English cases, statutes, and texts are weli represented. Similar materials are being received from a number of British possessions and dominions. The collection of foreign legal materials is being developed in response to current interests in comparative law and international business transactions.

Briefs and records of United States Supreme Court decisions from 1938 to the present are available at both Divisions on microfilm and microcards. The Bloomington Division has copies of briefs and records since 1925. Both Divisions have copies of briefs submitted to the Indiana Supreme Court since 1940.

The library of the Indianapolis Division, one of the finest libraries of any ex- clusively evening division in the United States, contains 72,497 volumes, including the reports, statutes, periodicals, and treatises of this country as well as some of the leading British sets. It is within walking distance of the Indiana State Library, Indiana Uni- versity Indianapolis Downtown Campus Library, and Indianapolis Public Library.

The School of Law libraries, equally adequate, are part of the University library system, the one in Bloomington being the repository for collections for the research needs of the faculty of both Divisions. Close contact is maintained between the Divisions, and a liberal borrowing policy is followed.

Student Organizations

The entire student body of each Division constitutes the Student Bar Association of that Division. Officers of each group maintain liaison between students and faculty and have a close relationship with the Dean, Associate Dean, and respective Division faculty. Each group conducts an orientation program for beginning students of the Division and sponsors a limited number of social events.

Chapters of national professional legal fraternities at each Division invite selected students to membership.

ADMISSION

All applicants seeking admission to the School of Law in June, 1966, or thereafter must have received an A.B., B.S., or equivalent degree from an institution whose graduates are eligible for unqualified and unconditional admission to the Graduate School of Indiana University. Further, they must have successfully completed at least 90 hours of theory work which would be acceptable toward a bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sciences or in the School of Business of Indiana University.

On the basis of A=4, B=3, C=2, D=l, and F=O credit points, the quality of an applicant's work in substantive courses must equal a credit-point average of at least 2.6. Applications of students who have satisfied all other requirements but whose cumulative undergraduate average is below 2.6 will be referred to an Admissions Committee. Credit-point averages will be computed on the basis of all theory work undertaken; the same course taken twice will be counted twice.

Law School Admission Test. Each applicant is required to take the Law School Admission Test given four times a year at one hundred or more examination centers situated throughout the country, including Indiana University. The fee is $12. For details and an application form write to the Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey.

Auditors. Members of the bar and persons not eligible for regular admission may enroll as auditors in courses in which they are interested. An auditor does not receive credit and may not participate in classroom discussion.

Transfer Students; Advanced Standing. Students transferring from another law school to the Indiana University School of Law are admitted only on a conditional basis. The completion of one semester or summer session in the Bloomington Division, or at least 10 hours in the Indianapolis Division, with at least a 1.6 credit-point average removes the conditional status.

(14)

Students who are ineligible for readmission to the law school last attended will not be accepted as beginning students or admitted to advanced standing. Exceptions may be made but only after consultation with the school previously attended. A scho- lastically deficient student eligible for readmission at another school may be accepted but only under the same conditions as would be imposed upon him for readmission at the first school.

A transfer student who would have been eligible for admission to the Indiana University School of Law may be admitted to advanced standing upon presentation of a certified transcript of his record from a law school approved by the American Bar Association. Satisfactory completion of the first-year requirements in such an institution will be accepted in lieu of the required first-year work in the School of Law, but no more than 30 hours of credit will be allowed for such first-year work.

Advanced credit will be allowed only for work of the standard required for graduation at the institution where the work was done. No more than 54 hours of advanced standing will be allowed in any case.

Application. Each applicant for admission must secure an application form from the office of one of the Divisions. Simultaneous applications to both Divisions will not be considered. When the completed form is returned to either Division, the applicant must furnish an official transcript of his undergraduate record from each college or university attended. The fact that such a record or transcript is on file in the Office of Records and Admissions of Indiana University does not fulfill this requirement.

Under the rules of the Council of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association, the official accrediting agency of all accredited law schools in the United States, each such law school must have these records in its own files.

An application fee of $10 is required of all students new to the University and must accompany the application. No such fee will be required if the applicant has previously attended Indiana University as a regularly admitted student or has completed 12 or more semester hours at a University regional campus.

In addition to the application and transcripts of previous work, a transfer student from another law school must furnish a certificate of good standing from the dean of that school.

Beginning students are admitted in June and September. Both Divisions offer an eight-week summer session.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

A substantial amount of financial assistance is available for law students, much of it made possible by the generous support of alumni and friends of the School. Except as otherwise noted, only those students enrolled in a full-time program of law study are eligible. Unless there is specific instruction to the contrary, inquiries should be directed to the Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, or to the Indiana University School of Law, 102 West Michigan Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor of Laws

Eighty hours of credit in law and six semesters of residence in the Bloomington Division or eight semesters in the Indianapolis Division are required for the Bachelor of Laws degree. Candidates for the LL.B. or J.D. degree from Indiana University must successfully complete the final 26 hours toward that degree in the School of Law.

In both Divisions the law school work undertaken by a student is subject to the approval of the Dean. In the Indianapolis Division a student engaging in any outside work or other activity must disclose the nature and amount of such work or activity prior to registration; further, he must notify the Office of the Dean of any change in circumstances during the course of the year. In the Bloomington Division students may be required to report the nature and extent of their employment.

Bloomington Division. Requirements: ( 1) All first-year courses; ( 2) one seminar;

(3) one of the following: B625, B748, B760, B763, or B790; (4) B551, B552, B631, B632, B721 (or a seminar requiring a research paper), B722. In the first year 25 hours must be passed to earn full residence credit; subsequently, 10 hours must be passed each semester and 5 hours each summer session. A lesser amount of course credit completed earns proportionate residence credit, except that during his last semester or summer session a senior must carry and pass at least 10 or 5 hours of work, respectively.

Indianapolis Division. Requirements: (1) N505-N506, N509-N510, N512, N516, N531, N532, N541, N611, N632, N645, N647, N648, N701, N702, N725, N745, N746, N808, N815; (2) either a seminar or 2 hours of N800. No more than 10 hours may be taken in a semester or 5 hours in a summer session.

Doctor of Jurisprudence

The degree Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) may be conferred upon those students who ( 1) upon registering in this or another law school shall have the degree A.B. or its equivalent from Indiana University or from some school of equal rank and (2) shall complete the required curriculum for the degree LL.B. with a superior record.

GRADUATE STUDY IN LAW

The Graduate School of Indiana University offers a graduate program in Jaw leading to the degree Master of Laws. Admission is limited to graduates of approved law schools who present a superior law school record.

(17)

SCHOOL OF LAW 13

In considering applications from foreign students, the difference in academic systems is taken into account, and an effort is made to equate the student's background with the requirements described above. Foreign students should note that the requirements for a degree include satisfactory completion of written examinations in courses and of research papers in seminars.

The degree Master of Laws will be conferred upon the successful completion of one academic year of work in residence and at least 30 semester hours of credit. The candidate shall take such courses and meet such other requirements as may be fixed by the Committee on Graduate Study in the School of Law. In general, the program will include 12 hours in the School of Law; 6-10 hours in the Graduate School or School of Business; and 6-10 hours of research and a thesis. When, in the opinion of the Committee, the preparation of a thesis would not contribute to the program approved for the candidate, a language requirement may be substituted. If a thesis is required, it must represent a scholarly investigation of a legal problem or a social science problem directly related to law. The thesis must be typewritten and in publish- able form. One copy must be deposited in the library of the School of Law and the original and another copy in the Graduate School Office, on or before the date in- dicated in the Graduate School calendar (see Bulletin of the Graduate School). The degree will be conferred only after oral examination by the Committee.

A limited number of teaching associateships involving a substantial amount of teaching and tutorial service are available each year. Those appointed to these positions may take part-time work toward the LL.M. degree not to exceed two courses each semester. If the associate's work is satisfactory, his appointment may be renewed for a second year.

Students entering the program will be eligible for scholarship aid offered to students in the Graduate School.

Any candidate for a graduate degree in law who has not already had a year in residence at an American law school and who does not hold a degree in law from a university in Australia, Canada, Eire, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is urged to attend the Association of American Law Schools Orientation Program in American Law before beginning residence at Indiana University. The Program, to be held in the summer of 1966, offers intensive small-group instruction in American political and economic institutions, methods and materials of American law, and use of the English language. Payment of fees for graduate work in law at Indiana University entitles the degree candidate to instruction, books, meals, and lodging and to a modest allowance for living and travel connected with the Pro- gram. Further information can be obtained from the Dean of the School of Law, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

The faculty of the School of Law reserves the right to make changes at any time in entrance requirements, graduation requirements, and in its rules concerning the exclusion of students for scholastic deficiency.

Law school students are subject to exclusion and discipline by University authori- ties for the violation of University standards for student conduct. The faculty of the School of Law reserves the right to exclude a student or deny a degree to one guilty of serious misconduct.

To continue in school, a student must meet qualitative credit-point-average requirements. The Faculty Rules on this subject and on the subject of readmission after exclusion are published separately. A copy will be furnished upon request.

Withdrawals. A grade of W is given automatically if a student withdraws during the first four weeks of a semester or during the first two weeks of a summer session.

Thereafter, it is given only if the student withdraws, with the approval of the Dean, because of urgent reasons relating to health or equivalent distress, or if he is passing

(18)

on the date of withdrawal. If the student is failing on the date of withdrawal, the grade recorded shall be WF (withdrawn, failing).

Incomple~es. If a student is not in attendance during the last several weeks of a semester, the instructor may report a grade of I (indicating that the work is satisfactory but has not been completed), provided he has reason to believe that the absence was beyond the student's control; if not, he shall record a grade of F. A grade of Incomplete must be removed within one calendar year of the date of its recording or the Dean will authorize that it be changed to F. A grade of Incom- plete may be removed if the student completes the work within the time limit or if the Dean authorizes the change of grade to W.

Absences. Illness is usually the only acceptable excuse for absence from class and must be officially confirmed. A student's excessive absence will be reported by his instructor to the Dean.

A student who misses a final examination and who has a passing grade up to that time is given temporarily a grade of Incomplete if the instructor has reason to believe that the absence was beyond the student's control.

PLACEMENT SERVICE

Both Divisions maintain active placement programs for the benefit of graduating seniors and for alumni interested in securing new positions. Every year an increasing number of positions, both in Indiana and elsewhere in the United States, are filled with the assistance of the placement service. At the Indianapolis Division the placement office is able to assist students in securing employment while still in school. Often these positions are in law-related situations, thereby affording the student an opportunity to observe the practice of law prior to graduation.
