Pepperdine Caruso Law Students Compete at National Sports Law Negotiation Competition 2024

From the 2024 National Sports Law Negotiation Competition:

The annual National Sports Law Negotiation Competition (NSLNC) is hosted and organized by the Center for Sports Law & Policy (CSLP) at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California. Now in its tenth year, the NSLNC is widely regarded as one of the premiere law student negotiation competitions in the country.

The NSLNC was created by sports and academic professionals to give law students a realistic experience negotiating matters vital to the modern sports law industry. Our mission is to provide the legal profession with able legal minds ready to contribute to advising, transactional, and litigation practices that handle matters relating to sports.

The fact patterns for the NSLNC are modeled on current issues being debated, analyzed, and negotiated by professionals in the sports industry. Student competitors negotiate these fictional – but highly realistic – disputes before a panel of judges consisting of practicing lawyers, judges, professors, and mediators. Each student participating in the competition must grapple with at least two areas of sports law.
