Business
law
today
sits
at
the
intersection
of
shifting
political
and
regulatory
forces,
as
governments
worldwide
respond
to
evolving
issues
like
antitrust
scrutiny,
ESG
compliance,
and
global
trade
tensions.
These
changes
are
reshaping
how
companies
operate
—
and
in
turn,
how
lawyers
advise
them.
For
law
students,
understanding
this
dynamic
landscape
isn’t
optional;
it’s
essential
preparation
for
a
profession
where
business,
policy,
and
law
are
increasingly
intertwined.
The National
Jurist’s
preLaw
magazine recently
released
its
ranking
of
the
best
law
schools
for
business
law
on
its
Business
Law
Honor
Roll,
highlighting
schools
for
the
strength
of
their
programs.
Here’s
the
methodology
that
was
used:
preLaw
magazine
grades
law
schools
based
on
the
breadth
of
their
curricular
offerings.
The
scores
are
figured
as
follows:
30%
for
a
concentration,
24%
for
a
clinic,
12%
for
a
center,
12%
for
an
externship,
9%
for
a
journal,
8%
for
a
student
group,
5%
for
a
certificate
and
added
value
for
additional
offerings.
Without
further
ado,
according
to
preLaw
Magazine,
these
are
the
law
schools
that
earned
A+
grades
for
their
business
law
programs
