Membership

The Business Law Journal is a great opportunity for all Duquesne law students who wish to pursue a career which intertwines both business and the law. Through publication, leadership, and networking, the Business Law Journal offers many opportunities for students to build a stronger resume and a promising legal career. Participation as a staff member on the Business Law Journal will enhance your legal writing technique, and increase your insight into the inner-workings of both the business and legal worlds.

Membership to the Business Law Journal for the upcoming academic year involves a two-step process: a write-on competition and an interview with the editorial board. Stay tuned for deadlines concerning selection of the Volume 12 staff!
