Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic

The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic (EBLC) was created to serve start-up and emerging businesses that need transactional legal assistance. The clinic will begin operation in January 2012. The College’s seventh clinic, EBLC will benefit students by providing them the opportunity to represent entrepreneurs and their businesses while simultaneously supporting and furthering Ohio’s mission of sustained economic growth.

Students enrolled in the EBLC will assist young companies – not ready or able to hire attorneys – on a pro bono basis and will offer legal service on matters such as business structure and formation, taxation, employment contracts, and intellectual property issues.

Third-year Moritz students will enroll in the class beginning in January 2012.

Students interested in business law should also consider the College’s other offerings, such as

• the Schottenstein Zox & Dunn's Distinguished Practitioners in Residence Program in Business Law, which welcomes leading practitioners from around the world to Moritz to teach one-credit courses;
• the Ohio State Entrepreneurial Business Law Journal; and
• the Moritz Corporate Fellowship Program, which places new Moritz graduates within the general counsel offices of leading national corporations.

More information on course structure and clinic faculty will be available in the future.
