Academy of Legal Studies in Business

Unlike a gym membership, joining the Academy of Legal Studies in Business before January 1 actually saves you money. (And you won't have to pretend to understand how to use a rowing machine.) Ready to save some cash and connect with colleagues, attend conferences, get inspired and maybe even learn about job opportunities for a career change into the wonderful world of academia? No pressure, but our current membership rates expire December 31. Visit www.alsb.org to activate your membership today.
