As
students of the University of California, Hastings College of the Law,
we noticed that while the school publishes a distinguished set of
scholarly journals, there did not exist a forum dedicated to discussing
legal issues concerning business. We also recognized that the content of
the handful of business law journals nationwide were only limited to
academic and theoretical articles. Furthermore, our interests in
business law inspired us to embark on the journey of founding the
Hastings Business Law Journal. The HBLJ is focused on providing content
comprising of both cutting edge theory and practical information to
scholars and practitioners. Further, the HBLJ provides an opportunity
for like-minded Hastings students to collaborate with leading scholars
in business law and to publish their own scholarly notes. To our
great delight, the Hastings Business Law Journal was enthusiastically
received by Hastings students, professors, and the business law
community. In just twelve short months, our team of over fifty top
students successfully secured funding from respected sponsors, solicited
exceptional articles from scholars and practicing attorneys, and
meticulously compiled and edited this inaugural issue. Our publication
will be received not only by the top libraries and law schools in the
nation, but also by the top 100 national law firms and the General
Counsels of the Fortune 250 companies. As this
issue goes to print, we are proud to see that a solid foundation has
been established. The incoming editorial board and staff are already
hard at work selecting content and editing the second issue. Six
prominent Hastings professors are supporting our efforts by serving as
faculty advisors. Additionally, continued financial support from the
legal community will ensure the publication of future issues. In
closing, it is clear that the HBLJ would not be in existence today
without the dedication of everyone on our team. We thank all our members
and advisors who volunteered countless hours and brought their unique
talents and skills to the HBLJ. We hope that this inaugural issue will
mark the beginning of a venerable and respected Hastings publication. |
