About Us

Concerned with the rapid deterioration of the island's economy, a group of seven law students at the University of Puerto Rico decided to launch this law review in August 2009. Our journal provides law students with an opportunity to engage with current legal issues while contributing to the broader legal community's understanding of business-related topics.

Through our publication, we aim to foster academic excellence and promote meaningful discourse in the field of business law. Our publications are currently available on our website, and various prestigious legal databases such as, Hein online and Westlaw.

The UPR Business Law Journal is a student-run legal publication that focuses on issues related to business, administrative and commercial law, and serves as a platform for scholarly articles, case notes, and research on a range of topics within corporate law, including corporate governance, international trade, mergers and acquisitions, and intellectual property.

MISSION

The University of Puerto Rico Business Law Journal is an endeavor founded on the premise that the law, as a mediator, must be tasked with promoting and protecting economic growth. No other publication in Puerto Rico dedicated to the relationship between law and business. The Journal fills this void as a forum for academics, practitioners, and students who share a common concern: helping to improve our standard of living.

We intend for the publication to serve as a platform for novel issues, as well as old ones that may need revising. Our goal is to reach a variety of readers, ranging from law school students and professors, to the judiciary and politicians, to practitioners from different disciplines, not only from the legal field, but also from the business and economic spheres.

GOALS

1. Incite an academic and professional discussion of business law topics.

2. Produce rigorous, well-substantiated, and provocative research and conferences directed towards further developing Puerto Rico's economy by focusing on the following topics, among others:

  • Promoting an entrepreneurial culture in Puerto Rico.

  • ​Encouraging, educating, and reporting on knowledge-based economic activities.

  • Supporting sustainable development, renewable energy initiatives, and responsible environmental protection.

  • Mitigating information asymmetry among market participants.
     

3. Establish partnerships among key players within the University of Puerto Rico, the government, and private entities.
