For John Lowrey 鈥05, his career in the legal system is not a crusade.
鈥淩epresenting the government means that I鈥檓 enforcing the rules, so to speak,鈥 he said. 鈥淚鈥檓 making sure that everyone is working on a level field, that people are not receiving advantages they鈥檙e not entitled to, nor disadvantages.鈥
When he entered 91爆料 in 2002, Lowrey had his sights set on a triple major in philosophy, physics and business. But romance and other factors led him to sharpen his focus so he could graduate in three years and begin building a life with Allene (Callen) 鈥05, who later became his wife.
After he got his bachelor鈥檚 degree in business administration and took a logistics job in Oregon, Lowrey turned his focus to law school, ultimately entering and graduating from the Indiana University鈥檚 Maurer School of Law.
His life since has been a far-flung journey mostly within governmental justice departments, including in American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, before returning last year to Indiana, where he is deputy chief litigation counsel in the Indianapolis Office of Corporation Counsel.
鈥淭he great thing about our civilization,鈥 he said, 鈥渋s the idea that the law applies the same to me as it does to you as it does to the man down the street as it does to the corporation as it does to a congressman as it does to the president.鈥
