Faculty and Staff News
Professor Sarah Jane Hughes has submitted her 18th article for the American Bar Association's Survey of Cyberspace Law, published annually in the winter issue of The Business Lawyer. This year, her contributions focus on major federal actions relating to cryptocurrencies and providers of crypto, the right to escheat abandoned property (a gloss on earlier SCOTUS decisions), and enforcement against banks that opened accounts without customers' permission. She also submitted her 2023 update of her volume of the Hawkland Series on the UCC, which focuses on non-UCC payments including payments governed by federal law and payments made using cryptocurrencies. Chapter 7 on Enforcement was fully reorganized and soon will be available on Westlaw and later in hard copy. The Hawkland Series is searchable.
We are sorry to say that Josie Brush, the associate director of admissions, is moving on to another IU-Bloomington department. Her last day will be Wednesday, 8/31, after which she will take on the role of Sexual Misconduct Investigator in the Office of Student Conduct. Josie has been an enthusiastic ambassador for the Law School, positively touching the lives of numerous students and admission colleagues. Please find the time to stop by Room 224 to wish her well before her last day.
