About

The Houston Business and Tax Law Journal (“HBTLJ”) is a student-run academic publication dedicated to scholarly research in the fields of business, tax, and corporate law.

The Journal publishes one volume annually, comprising two or three issues. Each issue contains articles written by journal members and practitioners, including law professors, judges, and practicing attorneys.  These articles are selected to serve the academic interests of students and professionals within the national legal community.

The principal functions of HBTLJ are to supplement the legal education of its members and to contribute to legal scholarship.  The Journal is operated and managed entirely by students at the University of Houston Law Center.  Student editors and members select, edit, and publish articles and case notes.  Moreover, the duties of the editorial board allow members to develop administerial, editorial, and managerial skills.  Our publication focuses on providing legal scholarship in the following areas of business law: Antitrust, Bankruptcy, Corporate Governance, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment, Mergers & Acquisitions, Securities, and Tax.
