This post will be updated periodically. It includes a selected bibliography of books and articles on business/commercial courts found in law reviews, bar journals, book chapters, program presentations, and other publications.
The Business Courts Blog separately has posted links to business court reports and studies, going as far back as 1994. Links to those various posts can be found here (1994-2009), here (2010-2018), and here (2019-present).
The ABA Section of Business Law’s Business and Corporate Litigation Committee annually publishes the book, Recent Developments in Business and Corporate Litigation (formerly known as Annual Review of Developments in Business and Corporate Litigation). This annual publication has included a chapter on business courts from 2004 to the present. In more recent times, these chapters have sometimes been published as standalone documents online, on the Section of Business Law’s Business Law Today website.
