Industry Research Corporate law governs the creation and operations of corporations and is closely associated with commercial and contract law. Corporate attorneys are experts in the various laws that regulate the formation, configuration, and termination of corporations.

As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9).
