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.
