Editor's Corner: The Journal of

Legal Studies Education and Legal

Scholarship




Central to higher education is the scholarship, teaching, and service per-
formed by professors, all in furtherance of the common good.1 While much
of what we Legal Studies professors do happens on our respective campuses
and in our own communities, the Academy of Legal Studies in Business
(ALSB) is a Legal Studies community that enables us to engage in scholarship,
teaching, and service on an international basis through the ALSB annual con-
ference, through regional conferences, and through ALSB academic journals.
      The ALSB is blessed with two strong and healthy journals; the Amer-
ican Business Law Journal, first published in 1963, is forty-five, and the
Journal of Legal Studies Education (JLSE), brand new in 1983, turns twenty-
five this year. Both journals are vital to our Legal Studies community,
providing publication vehicles for manuscripts found to be worthy of pub-
lication through the double-blind peer-reviewed process, disseminating
the results of original research performed by the Legal Studies community,
advancing knowledge about law and business, and allowing their respec-
tive editorial boards to provide service to ALSB and to the Legal Studies
discipline. While both journals further the scholarship and service of in-
dividuals within the Legal Studies community, JLSE is more closely linked
to the teaching enterprise both inside and outside the classroom; thus, the
JLSE promotes scholarship, teaching, and service, all in one academic
journal. As stated in the JLSE mission statement:

  The primary mission of the Journal is to serve as the premier outlet and forum
  for peer-reviewed academic scholarship relating to pedagogical issues relevant
  to legal and ethical education within the business curriculum. This scholarship
