Attorney donation to install handrails at Assembly Hall

Bloomington attorney Ken Nunn really does love Indiana University basketball, so much so that he’s willing to donate money to keep fans safe during games.

Anyone who’s been to Assembly Hall for basketball games can attest to two things: Nunn loves IU basketball and navigating the stairs in the facility can be dangerous. Trying to get to your seat is risky, as the stairs are steep, small, and there are no handrails to grasp. There have been a few times I’ve lost my balance or tripped, but luckily not enough to make me fall. Besides, I wouldn’t have anything to grab on to, except the person in front of me.

But not anymore. The school announced Aug. 17 that thanks to Nunn’s gift, approximately 350 custom-designed handrails will be installed in time for basketball season. The school says that the rails won’t impede views of the court.

“One of the reasons I did this is because I love Indiana University Basketball and Indiana University," said Nunn. “This was a thing that the University needed and the fans needed, so it's my honor to provide this ability to help folks get up and down these steps."

Nunn, who has a bachelor’s and Juris Doctor from the school – loves IU so much that he pays for an advertisement that pops up occasionally during games that flashes his face with the words “Ken Nunn loves IU basketball.”

I couldn’t help but find it amusing that a man who makes his living practicing in personal injury claims has provided a gift that will hopefully prevent any fan injuries while using the stairs.

  1. Interesting that the new laws in criminal code all involve voter fraud

  2. I'm getting divorced and we have prenuptial and judge said it stands even though he made me sign it 2 days before wedding then I be c ame ill and left with nothing butbills

  3. No irony here, John. Conour’s clients are wise to him. Evidently you’ve missed discovery that disclosed Conour was aware he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, actually many cookie jars, but continued to spend any monies he secured on himself and his lifestyle. Your theory is idealistic and assumes Conour has the soul of a good attorney and therefore he would take care of his clients. Conour has no soul. He greedily took awarded settlements from his disabled clients and spent it on his own edacious desires. You are naïve to think if he kept working he would put his fees into a restitution fund. He is who he is and has proven he will use any means to cheat and manipulate those who trust him and the judicial system that is supposed to protect them. Sorry John, you don’t send the fox back into the hen house after he’s caught devouring the hens. Conour can’t be trusted. He has no more honor than that fox.

  4. The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.

  5. the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution
