This Week in the Law School
We were gonna go home, but then we checked the inbox and saw there were a few events this week. We anticipate having a new website early this week. There will be issues. There will be tears. It will all be okay. Consider this v1.0, with updates planned as soon as we can. We encourage you to look around, find what's new, and orient yourself with the new look. Everything from before will still be there, but some content has been moved and streamlined. If you have any questions, we'll be glad to answer them.
This Thursday, 12 local families will enjoy a Thanksgiving meal thanks to your donations to the Student Bar Association's "Talk Turkey to Me" drive. See 'Announcements' for full details.

Staff News
The Law School is pleased to welcome new events coordinator Chelsey Browning. Chelsey will take over the role previously occupied by Bridget Anderson and will begin her duties on November 30. Special thanks go to Sandy Ault, Lisa Bailey, Mary Edwards, Phil Poff, and Steve Withem for all their hard work while this position was vacant. Event management is much harder than it looks, and this group, led by Sandy, did a wonderful job!
Announcements
Indiana Law students, faculty, and staff donated over $300 to SBA's "Talk Turkey to Me" drive. That donation plus SBA's contributions meant that SBA, on behalf of the Maurer community, was able to donate Thanksgiving dinner to 12 families who have children at Fairview Elementary School. SBA wants to thank everyone who contributed to this event; this year's donation was the largest donation we have made since starting "Talk Turkey to Me."
