About

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review (BETR) is a student-edited publication at the University of Missouri School of Law whose primary purpose is to provide a three-part publication offering and to host periodic symposia on relevant topics to cultivate cutting-edge information and legal analysis over a wide range of topics and issues.  BETR’s purpose is to publish articles on developing legal matters that are relevant to practitioners, academics, and policymakers who continue to inform and shape our legal environment.

BETR’s three-part publication consists of biannual journal issues and frequent white papers, called BETR Solutions, and forum posts. BETR has been publishing BETR Solutions, Forum posts and online journal issues since 2017.
