Ann Arbor, Michigan Wednesday, September 28, 2011 michigandaily.com UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL Entrepreneur law program to encourage collaboration Zell program to debut next semester By PAIGE PEARCY Daily StaffReporter Law' School students cur- rently have the opportunity to prove accused people innocent, work on environmental issues and starting next semester, they'll have a chance to col- laborate with aspiring entre- preneurs. Through the University's newest clinical law program, the Zell Entrepreneurship and Law Program, Law School students will gain practical experience in entrepreneurial law, and student entrepreneurs will have free access to other- wise expensive legal advice. The program is named after and funded by Sam Zell, a Law School alum who donated $5 million to help start the pro- gram. Law School Dean Evan Caminker said he was approached last fall by alumni who saw a need for an entre- e preneurship program at the school. The program has since been in development and is the Law School's 12th clinic. Other Law School clinics include the Michigan Innocence Clinic, the Child Advocacy Clinic and the Environmental Law Clinic. Caminker said the ZEAL program is unique because it caters to students who are already involved in entrepre- neurship at the University. He added that the ZEAL program will give field experience to Law School students, since they will aid student entrepreneurs with their legal transactions. "We believe that we will be the first program which servic- es entirely a student entrepre- neurship clientele," Caminker said. After graduating from the University, Zell founded Equity Group Investments, an invest- ment company headquartered in Chicago. Zell also owns the Tribune Company and helped launch the Samuel Zell & Rob- ert H. Lurie Institute for Entre- preneurial Studies in the Ross School of Business about 11 years ago. Zell said in an interview with The Michigan Daily that based on his past experience start- ing the Zell Lurie Institute, he thinks the ZEAL program will be successful. He added that See LAW, Page 5A University President Mary Sue Coleman speaks about the University's upcoming environmental sustainability initiative in the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery Room yesterday.
