Business Law Concentration Added to Law School

The U of MN Law School has added a business law concentration to its degree programs. For more information, see http://www.law.umn.edu/current/concentrations_businesslaw.html

In addition, this initiative on Business and Public Policy has recently been announced by the Brookings Initiative:

Brookings Institution: Initiative on Business and Public Policy [pdf]
http://www.brookings.edu/projects/business.aspx

The focus on the Brooking Institution's Initiative on Business and Public Policy is to provide "analytical research and constructive recommendations on public policy issues affecting the business sector in the United States and around the world." The Initiative is primarily concerned with working in the areas of financial reform and competitiveness. Scholars, policy analysts, and others can click through the site to look at their latest policy briefs, op-ed pieces, and conference proceedings. In terms of thematic offerings, visitors shouldn't miss the "Fixing Finance" series of papers, which include documents such as, "The Origins of the Financial Crisis" and "Regulating Insurance After the Crisis". Also, visitors should look through the "Top Topics" area and sign up to receive their periodic Economic Studies Bulletin via email.
