337 Pass July Indiana Bar Exam As Pass Rate Holds Steady

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

There are 337 new lawyers in the state today after results of the July Indiana Bar Exam were announced.

Overall, the pass rate among test-takers held steady compared with the July 2016 exam. A total of 64 percent who sat for the bar exam in both years passed. Since 2010, the July exam’s overall pass rate has declined from a peak of 78 percent in 2010 and 2011.

Success among first-time test takers was slightly higher this year compared to the July 2016 exam. A total of 73 percent of first-time test takers passed, 1 percentage point gain over those who sat for the exam last year. Those fortunes were reversed for repeat takers — just 29 percent passed compared with 30 percent in July 2016.

Reese joins USI Softball coaching staff

0
University of Southern Indiana Softball Head Coach Sue Kunkle announced Thursday that former USI standout Lexi Reese will begin her collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant on the Screaming Eagles staff in 2017-18.

Reese, who helped the Eagles to their first-ever regional title as a senior in 2017, will assist Kunkle in all aspects of the USI Softball program.

“We are excited to have Lexi join our staff this year,” Kunkle said. “She made a huge difference in our program as a student athlete and will greatly enhance the talent in our infield as a coach.

“Lexi is excited about the season and the future of our program and is beginning to develop our young players,” Kunkle continued. “She will assist in all aspects of our program, including recruiting, on-field coaching and game day administration.”

In three seasons with the Eagles, Reese finished her career ranked fifth all-time in career assists (388), tied for sixth in doubles (40), tied for ninth in home runs (18) and 12th in RBIs (98). She also was one of 12 players in program history to eclipse the 40-RBI mark in a single season and one of six players to hit at least 10 home runs in a single year.

In 2016, Reese earned third-time All-GLVC honors as well as Academic All-District IV accolades after hitting .326 with 16 doubles, 10 home runs and 40 RBIs.

A staple in the infield, Reese started all of USI’s 166 games during her three years in a USI uniform, including 165 at shortstop.

Academically, Reese was a three-time Academic All-GLVC honoree prior to earning her bachelor’s degree in public relations and advertising in May 2017.

The Lebanon, Indiana, native is currently working on her master’s degree in sports management.

0

University of Southern Indiana Cross Country/Track & Field Head Coach Mike Hillyard announced the hiring of Jamal Johnson as an assistant coach for the Screaming Eagles’ Men’s and Women’s Track & Field teams.

Johnson, who will assist Hillyard in all aspects of the USI Track & Field program, comes to USI after serving as the Head Coach of the Wayne Memorial High School Varsity Track & Field program in Detroit, Michigan.

During his time at WMHS, Johnson designed and implemented training plans, primarily for short and long sprinters; oversaw other staff members on the team; and monitored student athletes’ academic success.

Under Johnson’s tutelage, several WMHS student athletes earned conference and regional championships and posted top-five finishes at the state meet during his four years with the program. He also recently coached the WMHS senior Anavia Battle to a pair of state titles during the indoor and outdoor seasons this past spring and directed Montel Hood to three All-America honors and the Michigan state record in the outdoor 400 meters (:46.29).

At the collegiate level, Johnson served as a volunteer coach at Midwest Region foe Wayne State University, where he facilitated the fall training program for short and long sprinters.

He also was the founder and head coach of the Intensity Track Club and has had numerous athletes qualify and compete at the AAU Junior Olympics from 2014-17, including a pair of AAU national championships in 2017.

“Jamal is a young, ambitious and knowledgeable coach with a proven track record at the high school and club level,” Hillyard said. “He has worked with athletes that have been among the best in the history of Michigan high school track & field.

“He is eager to get started building our sprints, jumps and hurdles group here at USI,” Hillyard continued. “I am confident that his tutelage and expertise will be a key component as we move toward our program goal of competing for GLVC team titles in the very near future.”

A native of Detroit, Johnson graduated from Eastern Michigan University where he earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and a minor in coaching.
