On May 29-31, 2019, the School of Business at the University of Connecticut hosted the "Summit on the Academic Profession of Business Law" (summit). The purpose of this summit was to identify and disseminate best academic practices from thought leaders; acquire professional development of teaching, research, and service initiatives; and develop better responsiveness to the mission and expectations of relevant stakeholders. This summit was the first of its kind in the business law discipline, focusing almost entirely on the field and its unique value proposition in the rapidly changing environments of business schools, higher education, and global commerce. Following an introduction (part I), this article is comprised of five parts. Part II addresses issues related to AACSB International (AACSB), a global business education network that provides accreditation, intelligence, and professional development to help create the next generation of great leaders. Part III reports on program innovations either related to business law or developed by business law faculty. Part IV focuses on scholarship and how business law faculty can be most effective in generating, measuring, and promoting research to both internal and external audiences. Part V examines curricular innovations that enable students to master legal astuteness, develop critical thinking, and embody the principles of ethical leadership. Part VI focuses on the professor as an individual and the role of mentorship in developing the next generation of business law faculty who will help lead business schools to continued excellence.
