Legal Research Institute publishes the first issue of Small and Mid-sized Companies and Laws

Legal Research Institute of Law School published the first issue of Small and Mid-sized Companies and Laws, an academic journal.  

Small and Mid-sized Companies and Laws was launched to provide useful legal information to small and mid-sized companies, also aiming to be added to the National Research Foundation of Korea\\'s list of academic journals. The first issue featured articles on financial conditions and risk faced by small businesses and the problem of corporate ownership. In particular, works presented by Professors Horst Hammen and Jens Mueller of Justus-Liebig University in Germany on corporate-owned shares were introduced in detail. Yoon, Sunah (second semester in Law School), the editor of the feature story of corporate-owned shares, said, They introduce Germany\\'s regulations on the extent of corporate-owned shares, the public announcement system required when acquiring shares and administrative measures that control the acquisition of shares to ensure fair competition and public security and safeguard the financial sectors and institutions. 

The Law School students are serving as the editors of this journal as in the case of Harvard Law Review published by Harvard Law School. Yoon said, It was not easy to look for contributors, edit articles and handle the overall process of the publication while attending classes, but it was a highly rewarding job. We will continue to strive to become recognized as a practical academic journal and added to the list of academic journals by the National Research Foundation of Korea." Small and Mid-sized Companies and Laws are published twice a year, and the second issue is scheduled to come out in December.   

Ajou University has opened the Legal Affairs Center of Small and Medium Business even before the establishment of Law School to directly and indirectly support small and mid-sized businesses within Gyeonggi-do with legal problems and to foster legal experts specializing in small and mid-sized companies through a wide range of training programs.
