History

Assisted by the professional legal community and professors at the New York University School of Law, The Journal of Law and Business was founded to give our members opportunities above and beyond those available at other journals. Our practical approach to legal writing and greater contact with practicing attorneys provide unique ways to prepare for leadership roles during and after law school.

The Journal provides a forum for dialogue and thorough analysis of issues, ideas, problems, and solutions relating to law and business, and contributes to academic scholarship regarding the interaction of the two professions. In recognition of the Journal's commitment to scholarship and unique dedication to promoting discourse between the law and business communities the Journal was awarded the prestigious President's Service Award.

The Journal focuses on recent developments and innovative successes in the law and business community. We publish authoritative writings on the interrelationship between the two fields. The Journal explores a number of general areas, including: international law and business; law and finance; and the effect of law and business on public interest organizations. The Journal also addresses contemporary topics in law and business, including: corporate governance; mergers and acquisitions; venture capital and private equity; bankruptcy and restructuring; tax law; capital markets; and securities.

In our second year, we have built on our strong start, taking on new challenges. With a staff team that has nearly doubled in size, we have tried to do even more, like create this snazzy new website. Look for us to continue making journal history.
