We had a record number of quality submissions this year. We had to make tough decisions, but are delighted to publish five articles. Submissions came from authors across the country.
The Rocky Mountain Law Journal is listed in both Cabell’s Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Management and in Washington & Lee University Law Journals: Submissions & Rankings. This is a significant achievement. Additionally, our Editorial Board has grown and includes members from the law school community and non-business law community as well. Our website showcases the natural beauty of Vail, Colorado, a conference location that offers hiking, dining, biking, and sunshine
at our fall gatherings.
I would like to thank the outstanding editorial staff who reviewed for the Rocky Mountain Law Journal this year. This includes several new volunteers as well who spent considerable time screening articles and providing comprehensive suggestions to make the articles even better. I truly value the time commitment all of you made to the review, acceptance and editorial process. Your input is very important. Many thanks to the Rocky Mountain Academy of Legal Studies in Business conference organizers who support us.
Volume 6 begins with an outstanding article and winner of the 2017 Best Paper Award. Congratulations to the authors, Professors Eric Blomfelt, Elizabeth McVicker, and Whitney Traylor. Professor McVicker's presentation at the conference was superb. Professors Amy Hendrickson and Amanda Wheeler will surprise readers interested in concert tickets with their analysis of effectiveness of the Better Online Ticket Sales Act of 2016. Be sure to read the survey responses by in-house attorneys to Evan Peterson's questions about their role in business strategy. Professor Connie Bagley's books and her leadership at the ALSB emphasizes the strategic value of law. Talking about divorce in a business law class has traditionally been taboo. However, Professor Read's article makes a new argument for including a topic that often is an individual's first encounter with the legal system. Finally, Professor McGarry's timely article raises the question of sustainable investment and financing decisions. He examines Norway's divestment decisions, Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) metrics, and their relationship to human rights violations.
