The DJCL is Widener’s most established law review, having over thirty-three years of scholarly tradition, respect, and experience. Since 1975, our law review has been providing the nation’s legal community with a reference source containing well-researched and analytical discussion on issues of timely import. The DJCL has published, and continues to publish, three issues per volume. We are currently working on our thirtieth volume.While the DJCL maintains a corporate law focus, our scope is extremely broad. We seek to publish articles that come within the scope of the American Bar Association’s Section on Corporation, Banking, and Business Law. Some of the current committees of that section are: Professional Responsibility; Insurance Law; Law Firms; Criminal Laws; Employee Benefits; Alternative Dispute Resolution; Environmental Controls; Food, Drug and Cosmetic Law; Health Law; International Business Law; Public Interest Issues; and Telecommunications. Thus, future members of our law review can expect to develop a range of knowledge extending far beyond corporate law.
The DJCL’s articles, comments, and notes have achieved recognition both nationally and locally. The DJCL has been cited in over 400 articles, excluding articles published in our law review. Some of the more prestigious law reviews citing to the DJCL include Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal, Michigan Law Review, and Stanford Law Review. Locally, the Delaware Supreme Court and Delaware Chancery Court also cite to articles printed in our law review. The Delaware Supreme Court cited to a student-written comment published in the DJCL.
