Southern Law Journal Fall 2021 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955581219)

With this issue, I begin my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of the Southern Law Journal. It is a great honor for me to assume the mantle of Editor-in-Chief of the Southern Law Journal, succeeding Dan Ostas, who did such an outstanding job for so many years. The new SLJ team seeks to live up to Dan's dedication in advancing the SLJ as a high quality, peer-reviewed law journal. I appreciate the opportunity to serve.

I am grateful to Laura Sullivan, who has been instrumental in the transition. Laura worked tirelessly as Executive Director of the Southern Academy of Legal Studies in Business (SALSB) to ensure that SALSB's 2020 Conference was one of the few completed in-person before the pandemic began. A number of excellent papers were presented at the conference, and those revised versions, examined by our reviewers and editors, appear in this issue. I am grateful for the research contributions of our business law colleagues in the region and elsewhere, and editing this volume has been a labor of love.

With the change in SLJ leadership, I am pleased to have the assistance of new editors and reviewers. Henry Lowenstein of Coastal Carolina University is serving as Senior Advisory Editor. And we continue to be indebted to Ray Teske, University of Texas-San Antonio as Online Journal Editor and Web Master.

Thank you in advance for helping the SLJ team continue to advance the quality, exposure, and prominence of the SLJ for many decades to come.
