The Indiana University School of Law‑Indianapolis prepares its students for a wide range of legal careers. Our success in training our students to uphold the fine traditions of good lawyering is evidenced by the outstanding professional and civic achievements of our alumni, who practice in every state as well as abroad.

 

One of Indiana University's two independent law schools, the IU School of Law‑Indianapolis traces its origins to the late nineteenth century when the first of its private predecessor schools, the Indiana Law School was established in 1894. Fifty years later, the school became an integral part of Indiana University. With more than 800 students, the IU School of Law‑Indianapolis is the largest law school in the state of Indiana, and one of the few Big Ten law schools to offer the cultural, recreational and professional advantages of an urban educational environment. Additionally, it is the only law school in Indiana to offer a part‑time evening program.

 

Located on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University ‑ Indianapolis and the IU Medical Center, the school is just minutes away from the state's courts, legislature, and major law firms, giving students opportunities not only to observe the legal process in action, but also to participate in that process as law clerks, judicial interns and legislative staff assistants.

 

In the spring of 2001, the school moved into a state‑of‑the‑art facility that is one of the most technologically‑advanced schools in the country.

 

In addition to the JD degree, students may pursue joint degrees through programs offered in cooperation with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, School of Library and Information Science, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, School of Social Work, and the School of Medicine and School of Liberal Arts. The school also offers an LL.M. program with five tracks of study: American Law for Foreign Lawyers; International and Comparative Law; Health Law, Policy and Bioethics; Intellectual Property Law; and International Human Rights Law. A Doctor of Juridical Science degree is also offered.

 

Students at the IU School of Law‑Indianapolis have a wide range of backgrounds, bringing diverse professional and personal experience to the classroom. The most recent entering class included students from nearly 185 colleges and universities across the country. The median credentials for entering students were a GPA of 3.5 and an LSAT score of 155.

 

The school's library contains more than 400,000 volumes or volume equivalents and is a depository for U.S. government and United Nations publications. Every student is given instruction in information retrieval systems, including LEXIS and WESTLAW.

 

The school's clinical programs train students in basic lawyering skills.  With faculty supervision, students participate in a General Civil Practice Clinic, a Civil Practice Disability Clinic, and a Criminal Defense Clinic.

 

In 2003, the school established its Center for International and Comparative Law. This Center is the nucleus from which all international programs at the school emanate. Providing direction and guidance for the school's LL.M. Program in International and Comparative Law, the summer study programs in China, Europe, Central Europe and Latin America, as well as Human Rights Law Internships, the Center is the point of contact for students and faculty with interests in international law.

 

Each year the school sponsors a month‑long China Summer Program at Renmin University in Beijing. The school also offers a European Law Summer Program in Strasbourg, France, and a Latin American Summer Program in LaPlata, Argentina. In 2005, the school offered its first summer study program in Dubrovnik, Croatia, as part of its Central and Eastern European Law Summer Program. Additionally, our Program in International Human Rights Law is designed to promote legal study and scholarship in international human rights.

 

Another special program of interest is the school's William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health. Established in 1986, the Hall Center is a resource for the study of critical issues in health care. The school's location, on the same campus as the world‑renowned IU Medical Center, allows interaction among noted scholars and practitioners in both disciplines.

 

In 2004, the school established a Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation. The Center is focused upon producing graduates with a strong knowledge of intellectual property law, a solid foundation in business and sound transactional skills in all matters relating to intellectual property. The Center emphasizes the life sciences and the nurturing of intellectual property in a business context.

 

Activities available to students include the Indiana Law Review, the Indiana International and Comparative Law Review, the Indiana Health Law Review, intramural, regional and national moot court and client counseling competitions, the International Law Society, the Environmental and Health Law Societies, the Federalist Society, the Republican Law Coalition, the Democratic Law Society, the Law and Technology Association, the Lambda Law Society, the Criminal Law Association, the Women's Caucus, the Dean's Tutorial Society, and Equal Justice Works, just to name a few. These organizations serve to complement the rigorous academic instruction at the school. The average grade for coursework at the school is in the range of 2.9‑3.1 on a 4.0 scale.
