Hannah L. Buxbaum of IU Maurer School of Law has been elected to the Curatorium of The Hague Academy of International Law, effective Jan. 18.

Kneedler Retires After 160 SCOTUS Arguments

Kneedler, the longest-serving deputy solicitor general in modern history, received a rare and emotional tribute: a standing ovation from the justices and audience alike.
