Business Lawyer

Recommended supplement

The purpose of this quarterly is to provide members of the legal profession and the public generally with articles and reviews by individual authors and reports and surveys by various committees of the ABA Business Law Section in the fields of law. These areas of business law include (without limitation, according to the editors), constitutional, corporate, banking, commercial, financial institutions, business financing, securities, partnerships, bankruptcy, and environmental law, at the state, federal, and international levels, whether arising in the context of international agreements, legislation, regulation, litigation, or private transactions . . . so, still want to be a lawyer?

These people have been publishing Business Lawyer for the last 51 years or so, and, if the author's math is correct, they have added about 10 pages to each article for every decade in business. If you planned on reading one of the articles during lunch, you better take about two hours. An example of an article is "Reorganizations of Investment Companies" by Michael L. Sapir and James A. Bernstein, which runs 62 pages:

Over the past decade, the tremendous growth and maturation of the mutual fund industry has been accompanied by considerable consolidation and transactional activity. This Article provides a general overview of investment company reorganizations under federal and state laws and reviews the numerous disclosure requirements and legal and regulatory constraints to which a mutual fund reorganization is subject. The Article is designed to guide the practitioner through the regulatory labyrinth from board consideration to preparation of filing to closing the transaction.
