Professor Hill Comments for Newspaper on Legal Fees Paid by Indiana to ACLU
04/20/2016
Professor John Hill talked about the $1.4 million in legal fees the state of Indiana has paid to the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana under the Governor Mike Pence, ’86, administration. The newspaper, Indiana Lawyer, examines the uptick in fees paid by the state to the ACLU in the April 20 edition of the newspaper.
Not all of the increase is attributable to the Pence Administration, Professor Hill said. “At least some of this is the result of the changing social/cultural environment which makes some of these challenges more attractive/palatable, i.e. winnable,” he told the newspaper.
Professor Hill holds a J.D. and a doctorate in philosophy, both of which he received from Georgetown University. In addition to being a professor of law at IU McKinney, where he teaches constitutional law, civil procedure, torts, jurisprudence and ethical and legal issues at the end of life, he also is a Grimes Fellow, and an adjunct professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at IUPUI. His latest book, After the Natural Law: How the Classical Worldview Supports Our Modern Moral and Political Ideals, was published by Ignatius Press.
