The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ireland will visit Indianapolis, and one of his stops includes a lecture at Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis March 10.

Chief Justice John L. Murray will give the James P. White Lecture on Legal Education, "Educated Judges: Protectors or Monarchs? A European Perspective," at 5 p.m. in the Wynne Courtroom at the law school, 530 W. New York St. In his lecture, the chief justice will compare the European system with the American one. A reception will follow in the Connor Atrium.

Chief Justice Murray was appointed as chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ireland in 2004 after serving on the court since 1999. He began his legal career in 1967, served as attorney general of Ireland twice, and was a judge on the Court of Justice of the European Communities from 1991 to 1999. He also served as counsel in cases before the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the European Commission on Human Rights, and the European Court of Human Rights.

Chief Justice Murray will also have lunch with the Indiana Supreme Court.

The lecture is free and open to the public and one hour of free CLE credit is pending approval; registration is required. To register, e-mail slingram@iupui.edu or call (317) 278-4789 and leave your name and attorney number.

  1. Thursday, Aug. 26 marks the 90th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote. The Women's Studies Program and Interdisciplinary Programs invites everyone to attend a celebration of this event on Thursday, beginning at 4 p.m. in the library's events area. This program and reception will also celebrate the 2010 Awardees of the Charlotte Zietlow Women Faculty Research Grant. Dr. Zietlow, recognizing the gender gap in tenure, determined to do something about it and created the endowment that funds grants to support pre-tenure women faculty. For more information about this grant (application process for the next round will be Spring 2011), please visit http://www.indstate.edu/wmnstudy/awards.htm.
    Following the reception, consider staying on for a showing of a powerful movie, Iron-Jawed Angels, 6:15 - 8 p.m. Please urge your students to attend this film. Starring Hilary Swank as Alice Paul and Angelica Houston as Carrie Chapman Catt, this 2004 film forcefully portrays how many women put their lives at risk to give women what is now often taken for granted: the right to vote. Students are also welcome to attend the Women's Equality Day/Zietlow function.

  2. This doesn't seem quite up to par with typical Indiana Lawyer journalism. Maybe a byline advertising a future story would have been more appropriate.

  3. It was only a statment the girl made at the age of sixteen.and some how was made substationed only by the statement its self not any kid of prof.also the dcs never even tried to find out if she was telling the truth nore did they tell them[ann & glen] that it became some thing they would have truble with in the future.

  4. u left some thing out about Glen.Which miss leeds people to think he is a bad person and there is no prof of that nore did they ever eveb try to find out if he was even after the statement.u should say some thing about that report and that it was her word and never even atempted to try and prove it to be ture.if u read the whole thing u can see that.please dont miss leed people like this.

  5. What else do you call it when the SCOTUS discovers a right to destroy your unborn child in the Bill of Rights? What else do you call overturning the clear will of the people by instituting same-sex marriage (see California, etc.)?
