Defining "Immigration Reform": Expectations Regarding Real Changes in the Immigration System at the National, State, and Local Level
The national conversation on a comprehensive immigration reform has been part of an ongoing discussion in the USA for many years. There have also been many views on what that reform should look like. With the unprecedented number of youth detained on the border, how does that affect the movement or expectations regarding real changes in the immigration system? Please plan to attend this discussion, sponsored by the Latino Law Students' Association and the Latino Faculty and Staff Council. Panelists are: David Nguyen, associate instructor in the school of education and Ph.D. candidate in higher education policy, Indiana University; Angela Adams associate general counsel, Office of the Vice President and General Counsel, Indiana University; and Christie Bopp, local immigration attorney and former director of the Immigrants' and Language Rights Center of Indiana Legal Services. Room 120, noon.

Elevator Reconstruction Planned to Begin During Fall Break
The Law School's ancient Westinghouse elevator was installed when President Eisenhower was in the White House — and updated when President Reagan was there. So it's long overdue for an overhaul. The work is planned to begin during the fall break. The mechanicals will be removed and completely rebuilt, and the interior will be refurbished. The result will be a much more pleasant and reliable ride, but the elevator will be out of commission for the rest of the semester.
We would like to ask you to use the stairs to move throughout the building during this period. If you are not able to do so, the library elevator is available for your convenience. To gain access to the library (and then to the elevator) from the ground floor, you may enter through the double doors next to the SBA Bookstore. To gain access from the second or third floors, faculty and staff may use their SMAF key. Students who are not able to use the stairs have been contacted individually and given a key, but if we have left anyone out, please see Dean Turchi. The alarms have been deactivated on the inside of the library doors so you can exit without setting them off.
Thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions or suggestions, please see Linda Fariss in the library or Dean Turchi in 240.
Kaplan LLM Bar Review Course Info Session
Graduate students who are planning to take the New York bar exam are encouraged to attend a live online info session to learn more about the resources Kaplan provides to help you prepare. Friday, October 10, room 124, 11:00 a.m. - noon.

Food will be provided by Feast Bakery and Café and will include options for vegetarians and vegans. You won't want to miss this wonderful opportunity to hear from Dean Parrish, Mr. Stewart, and Heidi Gealt, the director of the Art Museum, and receive a tour of the Western Art Gallery and special exhibition. Law school faculty and staff will also be in attendance. RSVP to lawalum@indiana.edu no later than October 7, 2014. Business attire. Parking is available in the IMU lot and on the top level of the Jordan Avenue garage.
Spring National Security Law Course and Simulation Exercise
As an extension of his spring national security law course, B574, Professor Delaney has the opportunity to enroll four Indiana Law JD students in a multi-day, inter-school crisis law simulation exercise hosted by Georgetown Law. Students must be enrolled in B574 this spring to be eligible for the March 26-29 exercise. Please contact Professor Delaney by email as soon as possible (dgdelane@indiana.edu) if you are interested in participating in the exercise, or simply to discuss the possibility in greater detail. Your response will not bind you to enrolling in B574 or participating in the exercise, but the level of student response will help determine whether to accept Georgetown's invitation. If there is sufficient student interest, a selection process will be established to identify the law school's four participants.
Socctoberfest Is Here!
Welcome to the Twelfth Annual JD/LLM Socctoberfest. This year's soccer match will take place on Friday, October 24th at 5:00 p.m. at Karst Farm Park, fields 1 and 2, on the west side of Bloomington.
