About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Appeals on Wheels

Remember, the Indiana Court of Appeals will be holding court in the Ivy Hall auditorium at 1:00 on Tuesday, February 16. The court will be hearing the case of IHSAA v. Cade:

During a February 2015 boys varsity basketball game between Griffith High School and Hammond High School, an on-court fight broke out involving players, students, coaches, and parents. The Commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association ("IHSAA") sanctioned both schools as a result. The sanctions included canceling the remainder of the schools' seasons, suspending them from participation in the state tournament, and imposing probation for the 2015-16 school year, as well as educational requirements for each coach and athlete. Both schools appealed the Commissioner's decisions to the IHSAA's Review Committee, which upheld the decisions. The schools then sought a preliminary injunction in court. Following a hearing, the trial court preliminarily enjoined the IHSAA from enforcing its suspension of the schools from participating in the state tournament. The IHSAA brings this interlocutory appeal, contending the trial court erred in granting injunctive relief.

Paralegal Society members will have the opportunity to assist our visitors in feeling at home and then to have lunch with the judges prior to the oral argument. Everyone is welcome at the oral argument.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
