For those of you interested in pursuing a career in Sports Law, I highly recommend joining the Sports Lawyers Association (SLA) at this link: https://www.sportslaw.org/membership/index.cfm. Law students can sign up for an annual membership for a yearly fee of $75. With your membership, you will have daily access to new legal developments in sports, access to court decisions and legal documents, access to job postings and internships, and an opportunity to network with other members of SLA. I have been a member of SLA for the past year, and this has afforded me the opportunity to develop invaluable connections in the Sports Law industry. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions! Thank you.
