The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law is located steps away from hundreds of externship, entertainment, and employment options in downtown Indianapolis. Its faculty members are passionate about mentoring a new generation of lawyers and leaders, while also working at the leading edge of their disciplines. The school’s alumni are incredibly loyal and support the school in countless ways, including partnering with the school, serving as adjunct professors and advisory board members, providing guidance to students, and assisting graduates as they join the legal community.

The Health and Human Rights Clinic at IU McKinney shifted its focus to tenants facing eviction because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students are certified legal interns and are often the first legal interaction those facing eviction have in their case. “The Health and Human Rights Clinic works with local pro bono providers to help tenants in crisis. The work has been such a success it received a grant to support the work into 2024,” said Dean Karen Bravo.
