The rapid globalization of the economy across national borders and legal systems. Increased scrutiny of corporate governance. Ever-growing government regulation of private enterprise. The law is perhaps the most important external factor affecting business operations today. Maryland is one of the leading states for incorporation of New York Stock Exchange companies and the acknowledged leader in the organization of real estate trusts and mutual funds. Federal regulators are just a short drive away.
The University of Maryland School of Law's Business Law Program is uniquely positioned to provide students with opportunities to learn from and work alongside national leaders on contemporary business issues. And our public mission enhances awareness of how those issues impact the broader community.
