An Indianapolis attorney has been publicly reprimanded in New York, where he’s also barred, after advising a school to enter into an agreement with the parents of a 15-year-old who was coerced by a teacher that would have prevented the parents from reporting the crime to law enforcement.

Michael A. Blickman, who is an employment law partner at Ice Miller, has been publicly censured in New York state based on reciprocal discipline. In 2020, the Indiana Supreme Court first publicly reprimanded Blickman for taking actions as outside counsel to Indianapolis’ Park Tudor School that the justices said, according to a news report, effectively put up a “misguided wall of secrecy” around the teacher’s wrongdoing that later “came crashing down.”
