The EshipLaw educators group is interdisciplinary, and includes full-time, part-time, and adjunct doctrinal and clinical faculty members who work at intersections of law, entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology commercialization. The academic units represented include business, law, and engineering schools, among others. Many members of the group work in or with transactional, entrepreneurship, small business and community development law school clinics, and with business incubators. Several are also actively involved with other organizations with strong interest in entrepreneurship law—such as the Academy of Legal Studies in Business (ALSB), the Law & Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group within the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE), the Transactional Clinics group within the Clinical Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), and the AALS Section on Transactional Law and Skills.
