                             ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The Editorial Board would  like to thank all the authors whose works
compose  the first number of this fourth volume of the University of Puerto Rico
Business Law Journal. This number includes our first term analysis, focused on
labor law jurisprudence from the United States Supreme Court, The First Circuit
and the District Court for the District of Puerto Rico; a discussion of the various
applicable methods to interpret the relevant statutes in order to determine the
location of national banks for purposes of establishing diversity of citizenship;
an  analysis of the changes in Puerto  Rico's flow-through taxation and the
importance of choice of entity strategies as well as its consequences; a historical
analysis on the feudal origins of public utilities in the European Union; and,
finally, a discussion about the legal nature of bank loans in Puerto Rico's civil law
system that defends its mercantile nature.

       I would like to thank the members of our Editorial Staff for all of their
excellent work during  the semester, specially those editors who helped the
Editorial Board during the final steps for publication: Belmarie Rivera, Pedro
Garcia, Andr~s Monserrate, Cristina Tamayo and Roberto Gonzalez. I would also
like to thank H~ctor Orejuela, our Senior Articles Editor, for his technical support
during these final stages.

       The Business Law Journal would  like to thank our special guests and
speakers: Professor Jes6s Jordano Fraga from the University of Sevilla for his
lecture during the  Second  Conference  of Law  and  Natural Disasters; and
Honorable Judge Edward  A. Godoy, Professor Jos6 L. Nieto and Professor Maria
de los Angeles Gonzalez for sharing their knowledge about  security interests
(garantfas mobiliarias) in the bankruptcy process.

       The Editorial Board would also like to thank Professor Antonio Garcia
Padilla, Dean Emeritus of the University of Puerto Rico Law  School, for his
support and advice to make this endeavor possible; as well as Yarot Lafontaine
and Felipe Rodriguez Lafontaine, two of our past Editors in Chief for their help in
maintaining this project close to its original purposes. With our mission in mind,
the Business LawJournal will continue to be a forum for academics, practitioners
and students to incite academic and professional discussions about business law
topics while  working   towards  becoming   a more   useful instrument   for
practitioners and students by providing tools such as our labor jurisprudence
term analysis.

With the utmost gratitude,

Paola Medina  Prieto, CPA
Editor in Chief, Volume 4
U.P.R. Business Law Journal
