2008 ALSB National Proceedings
Selected Refereed Papers Delivered at the 2008 ALSB Annual Conference in Long Beach, California
Editor’s Forward
The 83rd annual meeting of the Academy of Legal Studies in Business will be held in August 2008 in Long Beach, California. Since the review process is complete and to make up for last year, we are presenting the Proceedings a few days before what looks to be a very interesting conference. Hundreds of papers are scheduled for presentation and many interesting and worthwhile workshops are scheduled.
Papers submitted to the Proceedings went through the double-blind review process and those accepted for publication are presented below. It is with great pleasure that I present this peer reviewed sample of work that is representative of the high quality of the work done by our colleagues. These papers are representative of the papers accepted for presentation in Long Beach.
Distinguished Proceedings:
Exploiting Under-Enforced Laws: An Economic and Ethical Assessment of Corporate Legal Strategy by Dan Ostas.
Runners Up:
Patents Gone Wild: An Empirical Examination and Policy Analysis of Tax-Related and Tax Strategy Patents by Wade M. Chumney, David L. Baumer, and Roby Sawyers.

I would like to thank the reviewers for the 2008 ALSB Proceedings. Your time, consideration, and thoughtfulness make the Proceedings better every year. Your service to the proceedings and the authors is appreciated more than you will ever know. I sincerely thank you, and once again I would like to single out Dr. Kris Tilker of Midwestern State University always being willing to provide a useful review on very short notice.
From the looks of the schedule, the 2008 Conference is set to be a big success. Much credit should be given to Kathleen Lacey for her hard work in organizing the conference and so many interesting sessions and workshops.
