Business Law

Students new to the world of business took a deep dive into financial fundamentals during American University’s third annual Business Basics Bootcamp, held Jan. 6-7, 2020. The two-day bootcamp, presented by the Business Law Program, introduced 1L, 2L, and 3L students to essential business concepts and skills, including interpreting financial statements, distinguishing amongst a variety of business entities, and understanding financing for business ventures.

In honor of the start of the Supreme Court's new term on the first Monday in October, former United States Solicitor General Gregory Garre joined students for lunch and a conversation on representing businesses before the Supreme Court Monday, Oct. 7 at American University Washington College of Law.

In celebration of the publication’s back-to-back all-women editorial boards, AUBLR’s Volumes 8 and 9 hosted this all-women conference—featuring keynote speaker Kara Stein, former SEC commissioner—  in conjunction with a call for papers, which will be published in an all-women authored issue.
