Indiana Tech Law School is proud to announce that Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller will teach a course on Indiana constitutional law during the upcoming fall semester. Starting Aug. 26, Attorney General Zoeller\u2019s course for second- and third-year law students will hold class sessions each Wednesday through Dec. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe opportunity to teach law students and help develop their understanding of our Indiana Constitution is a rewarding experience for me as Attorney General. I appreciate being asked to work with law students and to support the new law school as a valuable asset to northeastern Indiana,\u201d Attorney General Zoeller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The course will provide a look at the breadth of Indiana case law, as well as a view on how Indiana differs from other states. In structuring the course, Attorney General Zoeller will also assign groups of students to key areas of course materials, with each group then responsible for preparing and leading discussion on that area among the class at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere at Indiana Tech Law School, we\u2019re focused not simply on legal theory, but on the day-to-day knowledge and skills required to effectively practice law with commitment and integrity,\u201d said Indiana Tech Law School Dean Charles Cercone. \u201cTo have someone of Attorney General Zoeller\u2019s caliber and experience working with our students is tremendously exciting to all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admitted to practice law in Indiana since 1982, Zoeller served as an executive assistant to U.S. Senator (and later Vice President) Dan Quayle in the 1980s. Zoeller served as chief deputy attorney general prior to his being elected as Indiana Attorney General in 2008; he was re-elected in 2012. Zoeller created an in-office education and training unit for deputy attorneys general which also provides free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) sessions to government attorneys around Indiana, and he has served on the advisory board for several law schools and the National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute since its inception in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zoeller\u2019s academic role is nothing new; he has long taught law school courses as an adjunct professor at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, and as a lecturer at his alma mater, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the constitutional law course at Indiana Tech, throughout the fall the law school will host and Attorney General Zoeller will participate in a number of forums and seminars that will be open to the public. Events will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sept. 23 \u2013 Civic Engagement Forum, a session on public access for citizens and working with local and state government.
Oct. 28 \u2013 Business Compliance Seminar, focusing on compliance issues for a wide range of industries and offering CLE credit for corporate compliance officers.
Nov. 18 \u2013 Consumer Protection Symposium, an event centered on consumer rights, and the present and future of protection initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final schedules and details on attending these events will be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-92972","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
