This Week in the Law School
Who's the beefcake who takes out the pancakes? It's Professor Jeff Stake, and he keeps you awake. Learn more about this Indiana Law living legend today at noon. Who's the man with the financial plan? Paul Leopold will help if he can. He'll make you "money smart" Tuesday. Who's the dean who needs his caffeine? Austen Parrish will convene a coffee machine that same day. That's not all, there's the Barristers' Ball, where all will dance and some will fall (maybe even in love).
Thanks to everyone who organized and participated in the Women's Law Caucus Auction. More than $8,200 was raised for the Middle Way House and our own Protective Order Project. Great job!
