Professor Sullivan Discusses Role of Attorney General for Story Broadcast on Indiana Public Media
10/17/2016
Indiana Public Media broadcast a story October 10 on the role of the Indiana Attorney General as part of a profile of the two candidates running for that state office in the November 2016 election. Professor Frank Sullivan, Jr., discussed the role of the Attorney General as part of the piece, noting that the office is independently elected for a reason.
For example, a governor may want to pursue litigation that the attorney general believes to be not a good use of resources.
“And in that situation, the attorney general would arrange for someone else to represent the interests of the state,” Professor Sullivan explains in the story.
Prior to joining the faculty, Professor Sullivan served as a justice on the Indiana Supreme Court for 19 years. Before joining the bench, he served as state budget director and as executive assistant to the governor during the Bayh administration. Before beginning his government service, Professor Sullivan practiced corporate finance and securities law in the Indianapolis office of Barnes & Thornburg.
Professor Sullivan is professor of practice at IU McKinney, where he teaches Closely Held Business Organizations, Securities Regulation, and Advanced Sales.
