Business / Law Exchange

Legal Advisors in Student Ventures Development

In the Business/Law Exchange Program, in partnership with the James E. Rogers College of Law, business and law students work together in mock law firms and exchange unique knowledge sets, advancing innovation while learning to create and sustain effective working relationships.

Unlike the drop-in “law clinic” model in other entrepreneurship programs, 3Ls at the Rogers College operate in a real-world law firm model, with students assigned to McGuire Entrepreneurship teams as integrals players in venture development.

The newest element of the Business/Law Exchange, the Innovation Law Lab gives law students real-world experience working with intellectual property and knowledge transfer.

Students work in “firms” assigned to scalable live ventures engaged with the Arizona Center for Innovation, with each firm overseen by a private, professional lawyer.
