UE To Play On Friday And Saturday

  Fresh off of a 3-0 home win against Indiana State, the University of Evansville volleyball team takes to the road this weekend to play Valparaiso and Loyola.

UE begins the weekend against the Crusaders on Friday evening before traveling to Chicago to face the Ramblers on Saturday; both matches start at 7 p.m.  Evansville spread the ball around in a 3-0 win on Saturday against Indiana State.  Rachel Tam led the way with 16 kills while Kerra Cornist and Mildrelis Rodriguez had 10 apiece.  Defensively, Rodriguez, Alondra Vazquez, and Olivia Goldstein had 10 digs apiece while Allana McInnis finished with 41 assists.

Alondra Vazquez continued her latest stretch with two more solid outings last week.  Vazquez averaged 3.33 kills and 3.17 digs per set in games against UNI and Indiana State.  She finished with 11 kills, 9 digs and a pair of service aces in the road contest against the Panthers.  She hit .310 in the contest; she followed that up with 9 kills, 10 digs and three more service aces in the 3-0 victory over the Sycamores.

Evansville’s most accurate hitter in 2018 has been Kerra Cornist.  Currently hitting .218 on the season, Cornist excelled over the last week, finishing at .550.  Included in that tally was a .643 effort against Indiana State that saw her post 10 kills in 14 attempts with just one error.

Sixteen more kills against Indiana State gives Rachel Tam 375 on the season, third in the country.  Her average checks in at 4.52 per game, which is 15th in the NCAA and second in the MVC.  She also ranks fourth in points with 404.0 and 17th in the country with a total of 918 attempts.

Valparaiso enters the weekend with an 18-5 mark and stands at 5-3 in Valley play after losses at Illinois State and Bradley last weekend.  Setter Brittany Anderson ranks third in the MVC with 10.68 assists per set while Peyton McCarthy paces the league with 1.25 blocks per game.

Loyola is 11-9 on the season and is 3-5 in the league; after starting the conference slate with three wins, the Ramblers have dropped five in a row.  Quinn Spieker leads the way with 3.03 kills per set while Delilah Wolf stands with 10.49 assists per game.

EVSC Foundation Announces “Robert D. Orr Learning Commons”

EVSC Foundation, in partnership with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, is taking the opportunity to honor the legacy and memory of former Indiana Governor Robert D. Orr by creating a state-of-the-art learning commons in the new McCutchanville Elementary School. The new northside elementary school is built near the location of where the Orr family lived for three generations.

“Bob Orr believed that Indiana should strive toward broader horizons,” said Randall T. Shepard, retired Chief Justice of Indiana and former Evansville resident and friend. “He viewed education as crucial to building a better future, and his work as our state’s leader led him to be called the first ‘education Governor.’  The Robert D. Orr Learning Commons will be close to his home and close to his heart.”

Orr was an Evansville businessman, community leader, and advocate of education. As the forty-fifth Governor of Indiana from 1981-1989, Governor Orr championed investments in economic development, international trade and improvements in public education in Indiana. He initiated many educational reforms that left a positive and lasting impact on students and teachers.

The Robert D. Orr Learning Commons, as the hub and centerpiece of the school, provides an open, interactive area while educating future generations of Governor Orr’s history and important work as a leader in our community.

Leading Evansville businessmen, Robert E. Griffin; Robert Koch of Koch Enterprises; Honorable Chief Justice Randall Shepard; Dan Carwile of Old National Bank; along with Indianapolis business leaders John Hammond, partner Ice Miller, and Bob Grand, managing partner Barnes & Thornburg LLP, generously kicked-off this effort to honor Robert D. Orr and fully equip the commons with technology, library materials, and furniture to provide optimal educational opportunities.

For more information on the Robert D. Orr Learning Commons or to make a gift or pledge, please call EVSC Foundation at 812-435-0913 or visit evscfoundation.org.

Florida Based Attorney Disbarred For 12 Rule Violations

0

Olivia Covington for www.ttheinadianalawyer.com

A Florida-based attorney who was found to have violated a dozen of Indiana’s professional conduct rules has lost his Indiana law license, effective immediately.

The Indiana Supreme Court disbarred North Fort Myers attorney Edward R. Hall on Thursday, more than one year after the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed a three-count complaint against Hall in March 2017. Count 1 of the complaint relates to a parcel of land that was once owned by Hall but was later transferred to a land trust in 1995.

Hall’s girlfriend and Indiana legal secretary Laura Hanus was named the 100 percent beneficiary of the land trust, which became subject to a 2012 tax sale for nonpayment of property taxes. Hall represented the land trust in the subsequent legal proceedings, but his failure to comply with discovery prompted the Lake County auditor to move for sanctions and to disqualify Hall.

Both Hall and Hanus were subpoenaed to appear for a sanctions hearing in September 2014, but Hall falsely told his girlfriend that the hearing would not happen and she did not need to honor the subpoena. However, both parties complied with the subpoena after a magistrate called Hall’s law office and spoke with Hanus.

Count 2 against Hall alleges that while representing a manufacturer, known as Client 2, in an action against a seller and a rival, Hall accepted a $9,000 trailer as a retainer, then asked the client to pay an additional $5,0000. When Hall asked the client to pay an additional $5,000 six months later, the client indicated he could not pay, so Hall said he would convert an existing fee agreement to a contingency agreement. However, the agreement was never reduced to writing, so the percentage contemplated for Hall’s fee is unknown.

Meanwhile, Hall began failing to forward discovery requests to Client 2 and stopped responding to the client’s inquiries. He then did not timely inform the client of subsequent sanctions and an order to comply, nor did he inform the client of the dismissal of his suit and the order for the client to pay attorney fees. The defendant-seller sought to place a hold on Client 2’s bank account, but Hall advised the client not to worry.

While the original legal action was still pending, Hall represented Client 2 in a separate legal matter in which he took no action, leading to judgment against the client and another hold on his bank account. Hall lied to Client 2 about his actions in the second case, and the client eventually settled the matter on his own.

Client 2 then sued Hall for malpractice, and a $353,000 judgment was entered against the attorney after he failed to answer or appear for a default hearing. Hall relocated to Florida while the malpractice suit was pending, and he has not made any payments to Client 2 toward that judgment.

Finally, Count 3 alleges a client known as Client 3 hired Hall after another attorney failed to file a suit against a contractor and other defendants in connection with construction defects in the client’s home. Hall falsely told Client 3 that he had filed four cases on his behalf and that the case against the general contractor had gone to arbitration.

When Client 3 discovered Hall’s lies, he submitted a disciplinary grievance in March 2015, prompting Hall to file two suits on Client 3’s behalf. Hall then settled one of those suits without the client’s knowledge and failed to appear at a scheduled meeting with Client 3 related to the second suit. Judgment was ultimately entered in favor of the defendant in the second suit.

In light of all this, Hall was found to have violated 12 Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct, including: Rule 1.2(a), Rule 1.3, Rule 1.4(a)(2), (3) and (4), Rule 1.4(b), Rule 1.5(c), Rule 1.8(a), Rule 3.4(c), Rule 4.4(a), and Rule 8.4(c) and (d).

Finding no mitigating factors but several aggravators — including prior discipline, with three disciplinary actions listed against Hall on the Roll of Attorneys — the justices determined in a Thursday per curiam opinion that disbarment was the appropriate sanction.

“In Count 1, Respondent disobeyed a subpoena and caused Hanus, his girlfriend and legal secretary, to do the same by lying to her, actions that placed both of them in legal peril,” the court wrote. “Respondent significantly neglected his representations of Clients 2 and 3, lied to both of them at multiple junctures, and during the pendency of the disciplinary investigation fabricated an email purportedly sent to Client 3.”

“Respondent’s dishonesty and neglect severely harmed Client 2 and led to a six-figure default judgment against Respondent for legal malpractice,” the court continued.

The justices further noted Hall is already under an order of suspension for failure to fulfill CLE requirements. His disbarment is effective immediately, and the costs of the proceeding are assessed against him.

Hoosier Men Place Third at NCAA Championships
The third-place finish for the Hoosiers at the 2018 NCAA Championships was the best for the program in 43 years, when IU took second in 1975. Indiana won a total of four NCAA titles over the week, the most for the team since winning six crowns in 1973. The top-10 finish for the Hoosiers at the NCAA Championships is the sixth in the last seven years.

For the third-straight season, Indiana finished as the top Big Ten team at the NCAA Championships – the best stretch for IU since accomplishing the feat for 15-straight seasons from 1964-78. Over the course of NCAA Championships, the Hoosiers had 12 individuals earn a total of 42 All-America honors – the most in program history in 44 years since the team tallied 50 in 1974.

King Named Big Ten Swimmer of the Year for Third-Straight Season
The six-time NCAA champion and 12-time Big Ten champion is the first woman in league history to not only be named Swimmer of the Year three-consecutive years, but also the first to earn the accolade three times overall.

Hoosier Men Repeat as Big Ten Champions
The Hoosiers earned back-to-back Big Ten Championships for the first time since winning three-straight from 1983-85. The title was the 26th in program history. IU won 14 league crowns at the Big Ten Championships, the most since winning 14 in 1975.

Ian Manuel to Speak at UE on October 22

0

Ian Manuel will speak at the University of Evansville on Monday, October 22. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7:00 p.m. in Eykamp Hall, Room 251 in Ridgway University Center. Manuel will be discussing his experience of being sentenced to life imprisonment as a juvenile and his eventual release through the help of his victim turned advocate and the Equal Justice Initiative.

Manuel was 13 years old when he was sentenced to life for shooting Debbie Baigre, a young, white woman. He served 26 years of his sentence, much of it in solitary confinement due to his young age. Baigre became his supporter and friend, advocating for his early release. On November 10, 2016, Manuel was released from prison at the age of 40. His case paved the way for other groundbreaking legislation prohibiting life sentences for juveniles convicted of non-homicide offenses (Graham v. Florida, 2010). All juveniles sentenced to life in prison at that time in the US for non-homicide cases were children of color.

Manuel’s remarkable story is included in the bestselling book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, written by Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative.

This event is co-sponsored by the University’s Psychology Club, Student Government Association, Black Student Union, and the Department of Law, Politics, and Society.
