The Journal of Business & Technology Law encourages rising second-year students to seek membership through the petitioning process. The Journal offers its members the opportunity to help shape a dynamic legal publication that focuses on matters at the intersection of business and technology. In addition to earning academic credit, members will deepen their understanding of a range of timely legal issues. By working closely with the writing of respected judges, lawyers, and academics, student editors will learn about the latest thinking on business and technology law. The Journal's published issues center on a variety of topics, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Google, Federal Corporation Law, and the Criminalization of Corporate Law. In addition, the School of Law's symposia and roundtable discussions offer the opportunity to interact with these legal scholars in person.
Through the writing requirement, students will hone their skills at writing, editing, and critical analysis and increase their familiarity with the nuances of legal citation. Additionally, student writing receives consideration for publication in the Journal's print edition or on its website. One to three student pieces appear in each issue, and the student work chosen for publication allows those students to enjoy a coveted law school credential.
Membership also offers the opportunity to get to know students beyond your section, including second and third years in the day and evening programs. These relationships often last beyond law school and can be a helpful resource for things like choosing classes or finding employment. The Journal's current staff is a talented group of rising third-year students who are dedicated to creating a publication of exceptional quality. We invite you to be part of this exciting endeavor.
