Our Mission

The Institute of Delaware Corporate and Business Law serves as a forum for interaction between business law scholarship and business law practice. The law governing corporations and other business entities, tax and bankruptcy benefits from active engagement among the lawyers, judges, legislators, and scholars who practice, study, and define it. The Institute promotes the development of tomorrow’s business law practi­tioners by Involving today’s students in this process. The governing credo of the institute is “corporate and business law scholarship in service of practice.”
