clinical program affiliated with the Bluhm Legal Clinic. The SBOC was one of
the first transactional clinics of its kind at any major law school in the
country. Founded in 1997, the SBOC has given law students, working under the
supervision of attorneys with many years of corporate and transactional
experience, the opportunity to provide legal counsel to hundreds of
entrepreneurs and small businesses, on topics ranging from entity formation
to licensing and franchising. For more information about the SBOC, please see
