The NYU Journal of Law & Business (“JLB”) was founded in 2004 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 provides unique ways to prepare for leadership roles during and after law school. The Journal provides a forum for dialogue with practitioners and contributes to academic scholarship regarding issues at the intersection of law and business. The Journal concentrates on recent developments and innovative successes in the law and business community, focusing 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, private equity, bankruptcy/restructuring, capital markets, and securities.
