The Business Law Conferences at the University of Maryland School of Law regularly address cutting-edge issues on a variety of business-related topics. Speakers and panelists include nationally recognized lawyers, judges, and scholars active in public and private practice, where legal issues are pervasive and increasingly complex. Past conferences topics have included the establishment of separate business courts, the role of mutual funds in the financial system and their relationships to investors and issuers, and the trend among numerous courts toward the imposition of a common law duty running from a corporation’s board of directors to the corporation’s creditors. Selected papers by conference speakers also appear in the Business Law Program’s journal, The Journal of Business and Technology Law.
