New program to give IU Maurer students deeper venture capital experience - The Indiana Lawyer

When the Indiana University Maurer School of Law helps launch the IU x Trades District Innovation Associates Program this fall, its creators hope it will mark a milestone in interdisciplinary legal education—not just at IU, but potentially nationwide.
The program is a joint venture between Maurer, IU’s Kelley School of Business, IU Ventures, and the city of Bloomington’s Trades District, a downtown entrepreneurship hub and incubator.

It Came from the Query Pile

January 9, 2025 • Featured, Quill Archives
Ever since its 1920 debut, Writer’s Digest magazine has published numberless articles about how to compose a polished query letter. During most of that time, the standard advice was to create a pitch so compelling that it hooked the reader within the first sentence or two. 
Recently, however, Editor-in-Chief Amy Jones has been forced to rethink that old chestnut. 
“I want you to first demonstrate that you are human,” Jones said. “I want to know that you...

How a passion for true crime created a podcast and a love story - The Indiana Lawyer

An interest in true crime brought together journalist Aine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee. (IL photo/Maura Johnnson)
The relationship between Indianapolis attorney Kevin Greenlee and New York journalist Aine Cain sounds like the perfect setup for a Hulu crime series – something like “Only Murders in the Building,” but darker.
The duo met, fell in love and married while researching an infamous, unsolved cold case murder, and now work together on their own true crime podcast, The Murder Sheet. I...

State of the Alt: As local print media hits hard times, alternative weeklies morph into papers of record

June 19, 2026 • Quill Archives
Or, as is more often the case these days, formerly cohabited.


Few of today’s monikers are as colorful as the long-gone Great Speckled Bird in Atlanta, or the Weekly Volcano, still being published in Tacoma, Washington. But the Flagpole, founded in 1987 in Athens, Georgia, does pretty well. Its publisher, Alicia Nickles, says it was named after the founding staff’s propensity for “running ideas up the flagpole to see who salutes.”


“We had an insurance salesman...

Sharks In Indiana?

Q: I’ve heard there are bull sharks in the Ohio River. That can’t be true … can it? A: While the chance of the highly aggressive predator (a confirmed man-eater) cruising the Ohio River is low, it isn’t zero. The beasts can live in fresh water and so have, in fact, managed to invade rivers and lakes around the world. Disturbingly, two were captured—in separate incidents—in the Mississippi near St. Louis, each having traversed the 700 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Experts say the Ohio may be a t...

The Card Crime Wave

JUST BEFORE THE 2023 Gen Con gaming extravaganza opened at the Indiana Convention Center, two New Yorkers carried out an odd crime.
Thomas Dunbar and Andrew Giaume—who were known in the gaming community and had attended Gen Con as buyers for years—slipped into the vendor area and used a pallet jack to stroll out with boxes full of brand new packs of trading cards. Then they loaded the booty into a rented vehicle and headed back East.
This was no penny-ante theft: The cards were later valued at $...

Beau Bayh Is Mr. Positive

BEAU BAYH HAS every right to feel a bit angsty just now.
Last November, he turned 30—a milestone that can send anyone into a tailspin of existential dread. But not Beau Bayh. He doesn’t “do” angst and dread. At least not in public. It isn’t his style. Or his family’s, for that matter.
“Thirty has been great,” he says. “I’m turning 30, running for office, and practicing law, and it’s all been exciting and sometimes stressful, but overall pretty positive.”
There’s no time to wallow in self-pity....

Understanding The Rise In ALPRs On Highways

An ALPR snaps photos of passing cars. Its purpose is to capture license plates, log location and time, and store the information for possible later use. The cameras may also grab the make and year of vehicles and shots of drivers and passengers. This is useful for tracking a fleeing criminal or locating stolen cars.
No one knows for sure how many are deployed in Indiana, but it’s a lot.Citizens have reported more than 2,100 cameras to Eyes Off Indiana, which advocates for their regulation. “Th...
