About HBLR
The recently established Harvard Business Law Review (HBLR) aims to be the premier journal for articles about the laws governing business organization and capital markets. HBLR will publish articles from professors, practitioners, and policymakers on corporate law and governance, securities and capital markets law, financial regulation and financial institutions, law and finance, financial distress and bankruptcy, and related subjects.
HBLR is partnered with the Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance. The faculty advisory board is composed of several Program on Corporate Governance members, including Lucian Bebchuk (Chair), Allen Ferrell, Jesse Fried, Howell Jackson, Reinier Kraakman, Mark Ramseyer, Mark Roe, and Guhan Subramanian. Articles in the print edition will be peer-reviewed by a member of this board or by faculty members from Harvard or other universities.
Rise to the challenge
The landscape of business law and financial regulation is changing rapidly in the United States and around the world. HBLR will foster a debate to help understand these changes and prescribe the best reactions to them.
A distinctive journal for an unusual time
In its current issue, online content, and symposium, HBLR will feature analyses from politicians, regulators, academics, and practitioners. To promote an accessible discourse among the domains of business, law, and policy, much of the content will be shorter in length than traditional legal writing.
Starting now
The inaugural issue will be dedicated to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This landmark legislative response to the current financial crisis will have an extensive effect on the stability and operations of markets for years to come. HBLR will provide a forum for authors to develop a deeper understanding of the Act’s impact through analyses of and responses to its far-reaching provisions.
