Symposium: Law, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Recovery Note, The World is Indeed Flat: Preparing Students for the Global Market Through Law School and Small-Business Incubator Partnerships, 78 UMKC L. Rev. 543 (2009).

Abstract: Small-business incubators, especially those operated by not-for-profit organizations, such as universities or economic arms of government, are designed to push economic growth by providing resources to small businesses operating in an incubator. One particular resource, sound legal advice, which is essential to the success of any new business, provides a unique opportunity for a mutually beneficial relationship to exist betweenbusiness incubators and law schools. Law schools, through use of a legal clinic partnered with an incubator, can provide practical, real-world experience for students, and businesses operating within an incubator would receive sound legal advice at a cost they could afford.
