Entrepreneurship journal from Pepperdine Univ. School of Law.

The Pepperdine University (Malibu, CA) School of Law has begun the publication of the "Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship and the Law" a new journal designed to contribute to the body of knowledge in the fields of entrepreneurship and business. It will be published twice a year and an annual subscription costs $29.

Pepperdine said the new periodical's content reflects the mission of the Law School's Palmer Center to provide a dual focus on entrepreneurship and the law, as well as a range of related technological, legal and business concerns.

The first issue includes articles on: the "evolving written description doctrine" and the search for specificity; software licenses, source code escrows and trustee powers; legal education on business transactions; legal issues involved in healthcare business transactions; limiting patent claims; the Moral Rights Act of 2007; and, legal issues relevant to renewable energy developments.

The journal will also work with the Palmer Center to host symposia in the fields of entrepreneurship and business and will publish resulting symposia issues. An accompanying online publication forum promotes discussion between readers, authors, and students. The Pepperdine University Law School also publishes "Pepperdine Law Review," an annual journal.
