The attorney leaders of the Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret in Kenya will visit the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School
of Law Oct. 17 to discuss the successes of the human rights law clinic.
LACE Legal Director Milkah Mirugi Cheptinga and board president Eric Gumbo will speak in the Wynne Courtroom at 5 p.m. Clinical
professor Fran Quigley will introduce the two.
LACE works in close association with the Indiana University affiliated Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare program
in Eldoret. Since its founding, LACE has represented more than 3,000 HIV-positive AMPATH patients in court proceedings including
land and inheritance issues, gender-based violence prosecutions, and defamation cases associated with HIV status.
LACE was co-founded by Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Riley, Quigley, and their Kenyan colleagues. Local law firms
have supported LACE through the annual “Race for LACE” held in conjunction with the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon in Indianapolis.
While in town, Cheptinga and Gumbo also will visit with legal and community members and learn about the U.S. legal system.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.

they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.

vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!

Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.

With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
