STUDENT PROGRAMMING

Students can choose Sports and Entertainment Law Practice as a focus area of study. This allows them to pursue their own interests, enroll in courses that help strengthen their knowledge and hone skills necessary for practice through coursework and externship placements.

Students also have the option to apply for the Sports Law Concentration, designed for those interested in furthering their understanding of the business and law of sports. Interested students can apply during the spring of their 1L or 2L year. Upon completing the concentration, students receive a special designation on their diplomas. 

Requirements include:

• Maintaining a GPA of 3.0 in all required courses.
• Writing a sport-related directed research paper.
• Aiding in producing the annual Brandt Report.
• Supporting the annual Moorad Symposium.
• Attending regular meetings with Executive Director Andrew Brandt.

Moorad Fellows are hand-selected students from the Sports Law Concentration. During their 3L year, Fellows complete various research projects for academic credit, a unique opportunity that provides this select group of students with personal attention and direction from the Moorad Center’s executive director.

Sports Law students also have the opportunity to engage in directed research on a relevant topic of interest with the executive director's oversight and collaboration. 

Additionally, law students have the unique opportunity to engage in semester-long experiential learning with sports agencies. These supervised credit-bearing experiences provide students with the ability to observe and work collaboratively with experts in the sports law field.
