Center for Law and Sports
Florida Coastal School of Law established the Center for Law and Sports in 2005. The Center offers students a comprehensive sports law curriculum in which to obtain a certificate in sports law and concentrate their legal studies on the rapidly changing and dynamic sports industry. A variety of unique and specialized course offerings are taught by three dedicated full-time sports law faculty members, as well as adjunct faculty employed in the sports industry. Students enrolled in the certificate program may also have the unique opportunity to participate in an internship with a sports organization or university athletic department. The law school also participates annually in a national sports law moot court competition. For more detailed information about the Center’s resources, please follow the links provided.
There is a collective body of specific areas of the law (for example, antitrust law, labor law, tort law, constitutional law, intellectual property law and contract law) that apply within the business of sports. Lawyers working in the sports industry, whether at the amateur or professional level, must be well-versed as to how different areas of the law come together and apply to various legal and business issues confronted on a daily basis. The Center is dedicated to preparing students to handle these challenges, and to serving as a local and national resource for sports industry attorneys and professionals, sports law academics and the media.
