Francis G. Pileggi Distinguished Lecture in Law

The "Journal" hosts the Annual Francis G. Pileggi Distinguished Lecture in Law. This lecture series, held in Wilmington, Delaware, is presented to the Delaware Bench and Bar and focuses on developing issues in the area of corporate law. The lecturer is always a leading voice in the field of corporation law, and the lecture provides the Delaware Bar, particularly the members of the bench on both the Court of Chancery and the Supreme Court, an opportunity to challenge academia with practical concerns.

Second, students that have completed first-year regular division or second-year evening division may obtain membership through the Summer Writing Competition.
