ABOUT
The Villanova Sports Law Programs host a wide variety of on-campus events, offering students involved in the Jeffrey S. Moorad Center for the Study of Sports Law numerous opportunities to learn, connect, and grow in the sports industry.
The Villanova Sports Law Society (SLS) organizes Speaker Series events, fundraisers, and other community-building events throughout the year. These events give students the chance to network with professionals, engage with the broader community, and strengthen bonds with their classmates.
The Sports Law Negotiation Teams (SLNT) not only participate in competitions across the country but also collaborate to host their own competitions, both virtually and in-person. These events give students not on our negotiation teams the opportunity to practice and refine their negotiation skills with engaging, real-world sports material. These competitions provide valuable insight to all participants through their interactions with judges and other participants.
​
The Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal and Sports Law Concentration members collaborate to create, support, and host the Moorad Sports Law Journal Symposium. This Symposium is the product of months of planning and culminates a day of panels addressing the most pressing issue in the sports industry.
