Tulane University School of Law: Sports Law Programme (USA)

Sports Law
The Tulane Law School Sports Law program provides students with the background necessary to understand and handle problems unique to the sports industry.
A certificate is offered in sports law. Certificate requirements include successful completion of all first-year courses, plus the following: Business Enterprises I, Antitrust, Labor Law, Income Tax, Intellectual Property, Sports Law I, Sports Law II, and three credits selected from among the following: Negotiation & Mediation Advocacy; Mediation; Alternative Dispute Resolution; or any other course in the area of dispute resolution or negotiation approved by the director of the program.
In addition to the certificate program, Tulane offers its students the opportunity to participate on the staff of The Sports Lawyers Journal, which is financed by the national Sports Lawyers Association. Professor Gary Roberts, Director of Tulane's sports law program, is an officer and director of The Sports Lawyers Association, and editor of The Sports Lawyer, a bimonthly newsletter-journal with wide circulation among the nation's sports lawyers. Students may write short articles or assist in editing.
Tulane has an active student-run Sports Law Society that regularly meets with important sports figures to discuss legal issues, and often sponsors public programs involving leading sports attorneys and business leaders.
Tulane's Moot Court Board hosts the annual Mardi Gras National Moot Court Competition, based on a contemporary legal problem confronting the sports industry.
In addition to enrolling in the basic sports law courses, students have the opportunity to work with faculty as research assistants or to pursue directed research on a specific area of the law as it applies to sports.
