Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
academic journal
The Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law was founded in 1996 at Fordham University School of Law as the Financial, Securities & Tax Law Forum until 1999, when Fordham Law School's faculty unanimously voted to designate it as an honor journal. The Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law name was adopted to reflect this change. The Journal further began publishing at least three times a year at this time. In 2006, the Journal was the most cited specialty journal in banking and finance and has been cited by the Supreme Court of the United States.
First year students are given the opportunity to "write on" to the journal in May as part of the school-wide journal writing competition. Published works are made available on HeinOnline, FLASH, and WestLaw. In addition, the Journal works in conjunction with the Fordham Corporate Law Center to host an annual symposium featuring guest speakers on a relevant topic of corporate and financial law. Together, the Journal and Corporate Center also host the A.A. Sommer Jr. Lecture, the Albert A. DeStefano Lecture, and the Fred Dunbar Lecture in Law and Economics. The Journal also maintains a blog for additional commentary on corporate and financial legal topics.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law” as academic journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as academic journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5468065. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1999 and 2006.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
