TheIndiana Law Journal is a generallaw review founded in 1925. It is published quarterly by students of theIndiana University Maurer School of Law at the flagshipBloomington campus. One of the ten most-cited law review articles of all time was published by theIndiana Law Journal; this was written byRobert Bork.[1]
TheJournal has published an online supplement, theIndiana Law Journal Supplement, since 2008.
In 1898, theIndiana State Bar Association (ISBA) briefly published a periodical entitled theIndiana Law Journal. It was sent to all ISBA members, and included short essays, local news, and digests of cases at both the state and federal level. It was published for less than two years, and production ceased in June 1899. In 1925, the ISBA teamed up with the Indiana University School of Law to re-create theIndiana Law Journal.[2] The journal came under the full control of the Indiana University School of Law in July 1948, with complete editorial independence of the student editorial board. The ISBA withdrew its financial support for the journal in 1958, because the Association had started its own publication,Res Gestae.[2]
By the bequest ofIndia Crago Harris, a trust in honor of her husband,Addison C. Harris, was established to fund a public lecture series atIndiana University Bloomington'sMaurer School of Law. The first lectures in this series were delivered in 1949. Several of them have been published in theIndiana Law Journal, includingChief JusticeEarl Warren's keynote address in 1957 at the dedication ceremonies for the new Law School building.[2][3] More recently,Jack Balkin ofYale Law School delivered "The Recent Unpleasantness: Understanding the Cycles of Constitutional Time", on September 13, 2017.[4]
Addison C. Harris was admitted to the bar in 1865, following his graduation from Western Christian University (present-dayButler University) in 1862 and law studies withIndiana Supreme Court Justice Samuel E. Perkins. Harris became a prominent Indianapolis lawyer, a member of theIndiana Senate (1876 to 1880), and served asU.S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary (ambassador) to Austria-Hungary (1899 to 1901) duringPresidentWilliam McKinley's administration. In addition, Harris was a founder and president (1899 to 1904) of the Indiana Law School, which was a forerunner to theIndiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, and president of theIndiana State Bar Association (1904), among his other civic contributions.[5]
