Robert H. McKinney School of Law



ROBERT H. MCKINNEYThroughout his career — as a legal, business and civic leader — Robert H. McKinney has served his community, his state, and his nation with integrity and passion.

McKinney was born November 7, 1925 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, and the U.S. Naval Academy, where he received a B.S. in engineering. In WWII, he served in the Pacific theater for three years (including a period on General Douglas MacArthur’s staff) before returning to law school in Indianapolis in 1949. Recalled to the Navy after receiving his law degree from Indiana University, he served in the Korean War for two years.

Until his retirement in 2005, McKinney was chairman and CEO of First Indiana Corporation, parent company of First Indiana Bank (now BMO Harris Bank). He was

chairman and CEO of The Somerset Group, Inc., and also a founding partner of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, an Indianapolis law firm.

McKinney’s commitment to community-based banking prompted President Jimmy Carter to appoint him as chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation in 1977.

McKinney served on the Indiana University Board of Trustees from 1989 to 1998 and was president from 1993 to 1994. He was chairman of the Board of Advisors of IUPUI and advising director to the IU School of Public & Environmental Affairs. He also is a member of the Board of Visitors of the IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis.

McKinney is or has been a director of many organizations, among them the Presidential Advisory Board for Cuba, Hudson Institute, Indianapolis Economics Club, Indianapolis and Indiana Chambers of Commerce, Chief Executives Organization, Inc.; World President’s Organization, Inc.; the American, Indiana, and Indianapolis Bar Associations; the United States Naval Academy Foundation, Indiana University Foundation, Conservation Law Center, Board of Trustees of Marian University (former chair), the Carter Center at Emory University, and the Sierra Club Foundation (former chair).

His past work in the community also includes serving as the Indiana Chairman for the presidential campaigns of John F. Kennedy, Edmund Muskie, and Jimmy Carter. McKinney served as legal counsel to Indiana Governor Roger D. Branigin and as Chairman of Governor Evan Bayh’s Government Reorganization Committee.

He has received Honorary Doctorates of Law from Marian University in 1976 and Butler University in 1981. McKinney is the 1994 recipient of the Junior Achievement Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame Award, a 1995 recipient of the Hoosier Heritage Award, a 1999 recipient of the IU Academy of Law Alumni Fellows Award, the 2000 recipient of the Indianapolis Archdiocese Spirit of Service Award, and a 2014 recipient of the Anti-Defamation League’s “Man of Achievement” Award. In 2017, he was a recipient of an IUPUI Spirit of Philanthropy Award and the Indiana University and IU Foundation Herman B Wells Visionary Award. He received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from Indiana University in 2018.

McKinney shared a long marriage with his late wife Arlene, and is now married to Shelley Barr McKinney. He and his five children actively manage the McKinney Family Foundation, with its emphasis on solving Indiana’s environmental issues.

DESCRIPTION OF DEGREES

DOCTOR OF JURIDICAL SCIENCE

The Doctor of Juridical Science (Scientiae Juridicae Doctor or Juridicae Scientiae Doctor), or S.J.D. degree, is a terminal degree in law, which is offered by a minority of law schools in the United States. The degree is designed for persons who have completed a first degree in law (LL.B. or J.D.) and a Master of Laws (LL.M.), and who seek careers as academics in the United States or abroad, as well as for scholars who seek affiliation with other academic or public policy institutions worldwide.

At the IU McKinney School of Law, the S.J.D. is a research-based dissertation degree. Each S.J.D. candidate works closely with one of our faculty members who is an expert in the candidate’s field of study.

MASTER OF LAWS

The Master of Laws (Magister Legum or Legum Magister), or LL.M. degree, is designed for students of exceptional ability who already hold a first degree in law. That is, a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), an undergraduate degree in law from a university outside the United States, or a J.D. (Juris Doctor), a professional law degree from an American law school.

The LL.M. degree at the IU McKinney School of Law is a one-year degree program, with seven “tracks” or areas of concentration: American Law for Foreign Lawyers; Corporate and Commercial Law; Health Law, Policy and Bioethics; Intellectual Property Law; International and Comparative Law; International Human Rights Law; and World Trade Law. Since the program’s inception, we have enrolled LL.M. students from more than 70 nations throughout the world.

DOCTOR OF JURISPRUDENCE

The Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, also known as a Juris Doctor, or J.D. degree, is a graduate professional degree in law. The degree was first awarded in the United States in the early 20th century and was created as a modern version of the old European doctor of law degree. Originating from the 19th century Harvard movement for the scientific study of law, it is a degree that in most common law jurisdictions is the primary professional preparation for lawyers.

MASTER OF JURISPRUDENCE

The law school’s Master of Jurisprudence, or M.J. degree, affords professionals in fields other than the law, the opportunity to acquire the legal knowledge that will help them in their chosen careers. The degree consists of 30 credit hours.
