The Ethics in Sports Law Writing Competition and Award were created in 2017 and is supported by the generosity of the National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors member Anne Wall. 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. Again, a law review worthy submission is not required. The award is open to 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls. 

Submissions are due on Monday, March 22, 2027, so there is still time to consider whether you want to participate. Remember that papers you have written in undergraduate (updated of course) or law school courses or comments for law review/journal requirements can be submitted to this competition. The winner will be announced in the spring semester, most likely during our Annual Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 30, 2027.
