In the words of Professor John C. Roberts, the presiding Dean of DePaul University College of Law during the Journal's inaugural issue, "As in so many other areas of our national life, law and legal issues pervade the arts world. We hope to present these issues in a sophisticated, yet accessible style, so that the new journal can find a wide audience. In that way we hope that it will become not only an excellent educational tool for law students at DePaul but a useful one as well in the Chicago and national arts communities."
And now with the addition of technology and intellectual property law into the Journal's breadth, we hope to expand our audience to encompass students, scholars, and pactioners in all of the creative and practical arts.
The Journal publishes two issues a year covering topics including relevant cases, new legislation, and pressing issues in art and intellectual property. Our articles have been cited by a wide variety of scholars and courts, including the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
