Editor’s Corner

It is an honor and a privilege for me to serve the Academy of Legal Studies

in Business (ALSB) as the editor in chief of the Journal of Legal Studies Ed-

ucation. The journal recently celebrated its twenty-fifth year of publishing

the finest scholarly articles on undergraduate education in law and busi-

ness. The past editors in chief of the Journal represent an array of the best

scholars in our discipline. They include (in chronological order): Terry

Dworkin, John Donnell, Edwin Tucker, Lynn Forsythe, Christine Neylon,

John Blackburn, Linda Samuels, Elliot Klayman, Jim Jurinski, Ramona

Paetzold, Nim Razook, Bob Bennett, Janine Hiller, Marianne Jennings,

Lucien Dhooge, and Carol Bast, my immediate predecessor, whose hard

work is largely responsible for this issue of the Journal.

All articles in the Journal are blind reviewed by either the senior ar-

ticles editor or the articles editor, along with two other reviewers. Serving

as senior articles editor for the next two years is Tonia Murphy of the

University of Notre Dame, and serving as articles editor is Rob Landry of

Jacksonville State University. The reviewers are all experienced members

of the ALSB, including a number of former Journal editors in chief as well

as several former presidents of the ALSB. Without the devoted service of

all of these individuals, publication of the Journal would not be possible.

In this issue we are pleased to present seven outstanding articles on a

wide variety of subjects that I believe will be of interest to members of our

discipline. First is an article by Paulette Stenzel that describes a course

which is directly targeted to business students who have an interest in

eventually attending law school. The next is an article by Darren Charters,

Sally Gunz, and Vivian Schoner that describes a case study project which

has been used effectively in an undergraduate legal studies course. The

article authored by Tony McAdams also involves a case study, this time

involving both legal and ethical issues associated with a claim of religious

discrimination. For those interested in sports (or who suspect that their

students might be) we have an article authored by Adam Epstein and Paul

Anderson in which the NCAA Manual is presented as a possible teaching

tool. Mehmet Kocakulah, David Austill, and Brett Long have developed a

paper that addresses the present state of the business law education of ac-

counting students. Next is a case study authored by Margo Reder, specifi-
