New Frontiers In Law & Business 


Westminster House    2315 College Avenue    Berkeley, California

Business and law increasingly are intermingled as areas of practice and targets of academic inquiry.  Recent rapid and fundamental changes in federal and state regulation, business law doctrine, and business practices have dramatically raised the stakes for lawyers to understand business and business people to understand law. 

This conference aims to push that conversation forward, and will involve practitioners, academics, and regulators discussing ongoing work in these ever more integrated arenas.
