Law School Hosts 2nd Annual Alumni Summit

On Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, the Law School held its 2nd Annual Alumni Summit. A restructuring of the School's traditional Alumni Weekend, the summit included a full-day, all-advisory board gathering. The day began with a State-of-the-School address by Dean Lauren Robel, followed by meetings of the individual boards and our annual Distinguished Service Awards Ceremony & Luncheon, and ended with the Official Indiana University Maurer School of Law Naming Ceremony & Reception. Several alumni came to town a day early for the Environmental Law Society's annual "Evening at Oliver Winery" fundraiser, which was held on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009. Others stayed in Bloomington throughout the weekend to attend their 10, 20, 25, or 50 year Indiana Law reunion on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009.

2009 Distinguished Service Awards Ceremony & Luncheon

Founded in 1997, the Distinguished Service Award recognizes Indiana Law graduates who are distinguished in service to their communities and the School in ways far exceeding traditional business, professional, and civic duties. Through their hard work, their passion, and their accomplishments, these alumni define Indiana Law's ideals for community service. Learn more about the 2009 DSA Recipients.
