ABSTRACT
The roots of the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis consist of private, proprietary law schools that operated in Indianapolis starting in the nineteenth century. A number of law schools operating in Indianapolis combined with the private Indiana Law School in 1894. In addition, law schools that taught classes in the evening merged into the Benjamin Harrison Law School in 1914, which itself merged with the Indiana Law School in 1936, thereafter offering both day and night classes. In 1944 the Indiana Law School merged with Indiana University, forming a part-time evening class division to the IU School of Law in Bloomington and sharing the Bloomington school dean. Its location was in the Mannerchor Building in downtown Indianapolis. In 1968 the Indianapolis division was made autonomous of the Bloomington school, and began to be led by its own school dean. The school moved into a new building on the IUPUI campus in 1970. In 2001 the school moved into Inlow Hall.
Records include records from the predecessor proprietary schools, as well as minutes, correspondence, reports, publications, faculty records, and other materials.
