04/01/2016
Some of the IU McKinney students and recent alumni who took part in the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomacy Lab Project during the Fall 2015 semester presented their findings during the Student Project Fair at the Marshall Conference Center in Washington, D.C.
Teams completed research projects for the State Department; the work was part of the wider participation by the IUPUI campus in the effort.
Students and recent LL.M. alumni involved in researching public defender systems included Sadia Maqsood, LL.M. ’15, and Ngoc Tran, LL.M. ’15, who researched Asia; 3Ls Kenneth Enright and Matthew Schlegel who researched Europe; 2Ls Chandler Carney and Stephanie Rivas who researched South America; and 2Ls Nasha Baughman and Matthew Whitlock who researched sub-Saharan Africa. Professors Shawn Boyne and Fran Watson conducted research on the topic: “The Role of the Public Defender.”

“IU McKinney’s first Diplomacy Lab project was a unique collaborative effort between a doctrinal faculty member, a clinical faculty member, and a library faculty member who each brought a different perspective to the project,” said Professor Boyne. Professor Lemmer helped the students prepare for the Project Fair, and Hannah Alcasid, electronic information and data support technician at the Ruth Lilly Law Library, helped the students put together their posters and other materials for the event.
