Business and Law Encompassing Network (BALEN)
In the Business And Law Encompassing Network we strive to highlight the intersection in business and law. Based around the JD/MBA, but open to all, the goal of this organization is to further each member's knowledge of the common problems in business, law, & decisions they may make as a part of, or owner, of a business. BALEN is NOT the business law club. We plan to be the networking line drawn in between the real life application of Business & the real life constraints of Law. We will provide and determine the structures, differences, and how to implement them to your advantage relating to business through the perspective of law.
