04/16/2015
The student faith-based groups at IU McKinney hosted a panel discussion, inviting Indianapolis-area attorneys to talk about their faith and how it plays a role in their legal practices. The discussion was April 14 at Inlow Hall.
The panel was hosted by the Christian Legal Society and co- hosted by the Jewish Law Student Association, the Islamic Law Association, the J. Ruben Clark Law Society, and the St. Thomas More Society. Panelists included Brian Dunkel from the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, Lara Aziz of the Immigrants’ and Language Rights Center at Indiana Legal Services, Kyle Hunter of the Indiana Attorney General's Office, Irwin Levin, ’78, of Cohen & Malad, and students Omar Alsunaid and Alhadi Altower.
Attorneys talked about their experiences regarding how their faith motivates their work, whether it comes into play with clients, and whether the workplace is respectful of religious practices. The panel was followed by a brief time for students to network and connect one-on-one with the panelists.
