About Us: The Center for Business Law and Leadership (CBLL)
Developing legal leaders who shape the future of business
The CBLL prepares the next generation of legal professionals to become the trusted advisors and decision-makers for tomorrow’s most dynamic companies. By combining hands-on experience, classroom learning, and mentorship from commercial attorneys and business leaders, we help students turn their legal training into a launchpad for building, scaling, and guiding organizations that create lasting value across industries and communities.
The Center includes courses and co-curricular programs designed to:
- Educate law students about foundational business law concepts
- Provide law students with opportunities to work side by side with lawyers, entrepreneurs, and businesses
- Provide transactional legal services to emerging businesses, nonprofit ventures, and individuals
- Inspire and give students training that can help them become business leaders
