What does it mean to practice sports law?  At its core, "sports law" is not an independent practice area, but rather a compilation of many different legal disciplines relevant to sports.  The purpose of this program is to give the attendee a sense of some areas of the law most frequently touched upon by the business of sports. Practitioners from each of these disciplines discuss the types of sports matters they encounter in their practice and describe the relevant legal framework. Topics to be discussed include:  IP/Media Rights; Labor & Employment/Antitrust; Corporate/M&A; Sport/Competition law; Amateur/Youth Sports; US/International
