IU McKinney School of Law alumna U.S. Rep. Susan L. Brooks, '85, entered remarks honoring the life and legacy of the late IU McKinney Professor Lawrence A. Jegen III into The Congressional Record on August 28.
For 56 years, Professor Jegen taught at the law school and made significant contributions to the state of Indiana and the nation in the area of tax law and policy. He served as the Thomas F. Sheehan Professor of Tax Law and Policy at IU McKinney and was “an outstanding teacher and mentor,” Rep. Brooks said. He died on May 17, 2018.
“I wanted to make sure that our country knew about Professor Jegen and his accomplishments,” Rep. Brooks said.
Brooks read a portion of the remarks at the Every Gift Counts donor recognition reception at the law school on August 29, noting that The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress, continuously published in its current print form since 1873 and also online since 1989 via Congress.gov.
Rep. Brooks was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2012. She represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.
