Clinic - Sports Law

The Sports Law Clinic provides direct legal services to individuals and entities involved with sports who encounter legal issues arising from their sports participation or commercial activity around sports. Students in the clinic represent athletes in Olympic, college, high school, emerging, and recreational sports who meet indigency standards. Clinic students, supervised by faculty, handle all aspects of clients’ cases, including interviewing and counseling; developing claims and determining strategy; preparing affidavits, pleadings, motions, and briefs; participating in hearings in private arbitral tribunals; and reviewing and drafting settlements and commercial contracts. The clinic also participates in law reform initiatives, public education efforts, and other forms of advocacy to make the greatest impact on access to sports participation. Enrollment Note: The clinic is offered in the Fall and Spring. Students generally enroll for one semester only, but may be permitted to enroll for a second semester (including during the summer) depending on the needs of the clients and their cases.
