Two key benefits of Business Law Section membership are access to the Section’s official publication, the Business Law News, and the Section’s Annual Review of Recent Developments and Legislation.

Editorial Board

The Editorial Board is responsible for all editing and publication activities for the quarterly Business Law News, and the Annual Review of Recent Developments and Legislation. (For information about the Business Law Section’s other publications, click on the links in the left menu.). The Board reviews and selects articles for the two publications and supervises the production staff.

The Board meets as a group several times a year, but most of its work is done in small teams who review and edit particular articles submitted for publication.
