The Small Business Opportunity Conference is being
hosted by Northwestern Law School's
Small Business Opportunity
Center
("SBOC") and organized by the Center's student board. The
SBOC is a non-profit, student-based clinical program affiliated with the
Bluhm Legal Clinic. The SBOC was the first transactional clinic 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 professors, 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 www.sboc.org.
