Progress toward the Sports Law Certificate

In the fall semester of any given year, second year students who plan to work toward achieving the NSLI's Sports Law Certificate register with Professor Anderson. At the same time, third year students who are working toward the Certificate will meet with Professor Anderson to go over their individual progress. A final meeting is held during the student's final semester in law school to verify that all Certificate requirements will be met upon graduation and to conduct an exit interview.

To receive a complimentary brochure about the Sports Law Program please send an email request to Professor Paul Anderson, NSLI Associate Director.
