Indiana Law’s faculty scholars are internationally recognized for their research, and they also share a deep commitment to teaching and ensuring student success. Our faculty members include former Supreme Court clerks, practicing attorneys from some of the nation’s top firms, former U.S. government administrators and legal consultants, and visiting professors from around the world. Drawing on their varied experiences and in close collaboration with one another, Indiana Law faculty members consistently produce work that has a tangible impact on the legal profession.
Indiana Law is defined by collaborative, interdisciplinary work.
In 2009-10, our faculty members produced 100 scholarly works, including six casebooks, two treatises, and three scholarly books. Faculty scholars also presented their research at more than 80 universities, academic and professional organizations, and governmental or NGO meetings throughout the world. Their important work featured prominently in the media, with more than 160 placements worldwide. Our faculty were featured in the nation’s top five newspapers, as well as in the Chronicle of Higher Education and the National Law Journal, and on CBC, BBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NPR.
Indiana Law houses several important centers for legal research. The Center on the Global Legal Profession focuses on the unprecedented challenges lawyers are facing around the world and develops research and training materials to assist current and future attorneys in their understanding of international legal systems. The Center's research forms the cornerstone of our unique first-year Legal Professions course, in which students evaluate their own interests, abilities and values within the context of the practice of law.
For more than 30 years, we have led law and society research, housing the Center on Law, Society, and Culture and editing the SSRN Journal of Law & Society. Our integral role in one of the nation’s great research universities also includes the path-breaking Center for Constitutional Democracy and the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, each headed by a Law School faculty member. The Center for Intellectual Property Research engages in useful and timely research for practitioners and academics whose work intersects this growing arena. The school also plays a key role in the leadership of the university's Center for Legal, Ethical, and Applied Research (CLEAR) in Health Information.
