AG Curtis Hill Praises Decision By Federal Jury Recognizing Correctional Officers’ Right To Search Inmates

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today praised a decision by a federal jury that recognized the right of correctional officers to appropriately search inmates.

On Wednesday, a federal jury in South Bend took only 15 minutes to return a verdict in favor of two Indiana Department of Correction officers in a civil rights lawsuit brought against them by De’Carlos Freeman, an incarcerated felon. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana had permitted an Eighth Amendment claim for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages to proceed against the two IDOC employees.

Freeman, an inmate at the Westville Correctional Facility, alleged that on Sept. 4, 2013, the officers ordered him to remove his underwear while they searched him at a Department of Natural Resources work detail at Dunes Park to which the inmate was assigned. Freeman claimed this search was done for the purpose of harassing and humiliating him. He further claimed the search caused him severe psychological pain.

The correctional officers explained that they searched Freeman because they had received information about alleged contraband at the worksite. The officers denied strip-searching Freeman and stated that any searches they performed were done in compliance with IDOC policy. The officers were represented by Deputy Attorneys General Jill Esenwein and Marley Hancock.

“Law enforcement officers must retain the needed tools to protect the public and preserve secure conditions among inmates,” Attorney General Hill said. “While these officers certainly must follow constitutional guidelines while performing their duties, citizens depend on judges and juries to accurately assess whether complaints are true and valid. Members of this jury in South Bend returned a clear-eyed and correct verdict in this regard. All Hoosiers should appreciate their public service.”

Attorney General Hill also praised the work of the attorneys from his office who handled this case. The office’s Litigation Division has now prevailed in every jury trial in which it has participated since 2017.

Indiana University head diving coach Drew Johansen announced the addition of Kevin Burke as a graduate assistant coach for the IU diving program.

Burke, a native of Rockville, Md., was a two-time member of the Junior National Team, qualifying for the Pan-American Championships and Junior World Championships.  As a collegiate athlete, Burke was three-time ACC champion and consolation finalist at the NCAA Championships.

“We are so excited to add Kevin to our staff,” coach Johansen remarked. “The addition of an assistant diving coach is a major step for our sport and Kevin is the perfect fit to be the first in this role. Kevin brings a wealth of diving knowledge and experience and will raise the level of coaching here at IU.”

Burke was formerly Head Developmental Coach at Montgomery Dive Club, one of the largest age group programs in the nation.  The club has produced many Junior National Champions, National Team members and Olympic Trial qualifiers.

Professionally, Burke is interested in organizational management as well as youth athlete development.  As a graduate student, Burke will be working toward a Masters degree in Recreation Administration.

Report: Employment rate rises with J.D. class of 2017

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Overall employment for class of 2017 law school graduates only increased by 1 percentage point, even though the number of jobs found by graduates fell again by more than 1,200 compared with 2016 numbers.

Those are among the findings of the National Association for Law Placement’s Jobs & JDs: Employment and Salaries of New Law School Graduates report released Thursday.

The employment rate for the class of 2017 was 88.6 percent, compared with a rate of 87.5 percent for the class of 2016. At the same time, the number of jobs found by graduates fell again, by more than 1,200 compared with 2016.

Still, NALP claimed employment outcomes for the class of 2017 were the best for law school grads since the Great Recession.

“The employment outcomes findings for members of the class of 2017 are surprisingly strong. Most notable is a bar passage required employment rate that jumped more than 4 percentage points from the previous year, and a private practice employment rate that has now increased for six years in a row,” said James G. Leipold, NALP’s executive director. “Barring another economic slowdown or interruption and barring a significant jump in law school enrollment as a result of rising applications, the employment outlook for recent law school graduates looks brighter (if not exactly rosy) than it has at any time since 2008, and that is good news.”

Class sizes have decreased 25 percent in the past four years, with just 34,922 graduates entering the job market in 2017 compared to the historically large class of 2013 that produced 46,776 job seekers.

Despite a trending decrease of students, salary numbers increased in the last year. The national median salary for the class of 2017 was $70,000, up from $65,000 for the class of 2016. Those who received salaries of $180,000 accounted for just over one in five of the full-time, long-term salaries reported.

EVSC to Host McCutchanville Elementary School Community Open House

0

Community members will have the opportunity Sunday, August 5, to see the EVSC’s newest school – McCutchanville Elementary School – at a community open house scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. at McCutchanville. In addition, the EVSC will officially unveil the naming of the school’s art room – the Lorene and Palmer Siau Art Room –  immediately prior to the open house. An open house specifically for McCutchanville students and parents will take place on another date and time.

The EVSC first announced plans for the new kindergarten through sixth grade school in December 2015, and hosted a groundbreaking ceremony in February of 2017.  The school’s colors of blue and orange and the mascot, the Mustangs, were announced earlier this spring. Some highlights of the new school include:

  • A student capacity of 1,000

  • Estimated opening enrollment of 630

  • Paid for with cash

  • 40 classrooms, including the Lorene and Palmer Siau Art Room

  • 9 specialized rooms, including technology, choir, band/orchestra, science, etc.

  • Outdoor learning spaces

  • Collaborative learning spaces

  • 120,000 square feet

  • Energy efficient design, including solar tube and LED lighting, smart HVAC system, insulated concrete forms, and more.

  • Constructed on 26.83 acres originally purchased by the EVSC School Board in 1995 as a future school site

  • Community walking track and playground

Other unique features of the school include a large, open space in the center of the building that is known as the Learning Commons. This is a collaborative area for students and staff. In addition, each grade has five classrooms and is located within a self-contained “neighborhood” where further collaboration can take place. The school also has a tiered lecture hall called the Teacher Theatre, an outdoor classroom and a community walking trail and playground.

“A great deal of planning went into designing this new school,” said EVSC Superintendent David Smith.” We spent thousands of hours investigating what an optimal learning environment looked like and embraced the idea of creating a school that would meet the needs of our students and community not only today, but for future generations.”

According to Katie Minihan, deputy superintendent of school support and accountability, the goal of the new school was to change the way students learn – through flexible learning spaces and an environment in which students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning.

“We are so excited to show off this brand new facility,” Smith said. “Our hope is that this facility instills pride in our community and we can’t wait to see the faces of our community, students and families as they see the school for the first time.”
