Liberty, Responsibility, and Duty in Midwest Literature
ABSTRACT
This conference considered the value and importance of liberty in the Midwest and America in general, with a special focus this time on members of the Indiana legal community and some conferees from the academy and other professions. In this way we gained a unique perspective on the ideal of individual liberty and personal responsibility among the legal and professional communities of Indiana, achieving a deeper sense of the important place of liberty in shaping midwestern culture and institutions.
