The Wishard Medical-Legal Partnership for Patient Health has received a Preventative Medicine and Public Health Award from
the Indiana Public Health Foundation for its efforts to improve health care for children.
The partnership uses an interdisciplinary approach from doctors, lawyers, social workers, and academics to improve a patient's
health outcome. It puts in place a system of specialists, including pro bono attorneys, to advocate on behalf of a patient
and to intervene in circumstances to obtain better long-term health for the patient.
Baker & Daniels, the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, and the Indianapolis Legal Aid Society helped create the partnership
with Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis. Through the partnership, doctors started referring patients to receive legal
advice in January 2008.
The partnership is the first of its kind in Indiana and is based on one at Boston Medical Center. Indiana Lawyer wrote
about the partnership's launch in the Feb. 6-19, 2008, issue.

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.

Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.

Wow, just wow.

Forcing a defendant to wear a stun belt, in court or otherwise, is a violation of american principles! It is also unconstitutional!

So, if I save $100.00 cash per week, from my $500.00 per week paycheck, for 50 years, at which time, I will have saved $260,000.00, the government can raid my home and take my money, just by saying it is drug money! Shouldn't the government, have some kind of evidence of drugs, rather, than just saying we are the government and we will take anything you own, anytime we choose? Tyranny is upon us! If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
