LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Written by Daniel A. Lev

This is Part 2 of the 2025 Annual Review Issue of the Business Law News (BLN) highlighting a number of developments during 2024 from the following standing committees:

• From the Corporations Committee: A report on selected California legislative, case law, and other related developments in 2024 affecting California corporate law.
• From the Commercial Transactions Committee: A selected portion of the comprehensive summary of the 2024 developments in commercial law assembled by the Commercial Transactions Committee. For anyone interested in reviewing the entire summary, please contact Walter Oetzell at wkoetzell@oetzelllaw. com.
• From Paul Dubow: A review of numerous cases impacting the Alternate Dispute Resolution arena.

BLN’s goal remains to provide updates from each of the Standing Committees. So, we again urge all Standing Committees to appoint members early in the year to start keeping track of developments as the year progresses, with a goal of having draft annual review updates in hand by Christmas. And, as a further reminder to our readers, the BLN always is seeking articles of general interest to business law practitioners. If you or a colleague have an article of general interest, please feel free to contact the BLN. Publishing in the BLN remains a terrific opportunity both to influence the discourse in the areas in which you practice and to market yourself and your skill set. In addition, if your article was written specifically for the BLN, you can get CLE credit for the time you spend writing it and you can also use your article as a way to allow practitioners to obtain MCLE credit.
