The Ethics in Sports Law Writing Competition created in 2017 and supported by the generosity of the National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors member Anne Wall, Brand Protection Member for the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee. 

The "Ethics in Sports Law Award" recognizes the Marquette University Law School student who writes the best essay on a current ethical dilemma in amateur or professional sports as selected by the Competition Review Committee. Complete details on what is required to enter the award can be found online here. A law review worthy submission is not required, you could submit anything that fits the criteria, and you could submit the same piece you are submitting to any of our other writing awards.

The award is open to 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls, and submissions for this award are due Wednesday, March 25. The winner receives a monetary award and will be announced during our Annual Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 24, 2026.
