Professor Sullivan, IU McKinney 3L Publish Article with ABA Judicial Division
10/11/2021
Jae-Lyn Takemura, a 3L at IU McKinney, and Professor Frank Sullivan, Jr., collaborated with two other writers on an article published in the newsletter of the ABA Judicial Division. The piece considers Indian law and was the subject of the research exercise Professor Sullivan annually writes for the ABA’s Judicial Clerkship Program.
The article, 2021 ABA Judicial Clerkship Program Examines Indian Law: Reflections from Participants, considered whether a police officer of an Indian tribe has the authority to temporarily detain and search a non-Indian on a public right-of-way within a reservation based on a potential violation of state or federal law. Chief Justice Meredith D. Drent of the Osage Nation Supreme Court and Eric Williams, a law student at South Texas College of Law, also wrote for the article. Professor Sullivan has designed the ABA Judicial Clerkship Program’s research exercise for 20 years. It is meant to illustrate the judge-clerk working relationship in which judges and small groups of students work together to examine a closely watched case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Professor Sullivan was appointed Professor of Practice at the law school in August 2012 after 19 years of service as a Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court. He was named an Indiana University Bicentennial Professor in 2018.
