About Us
The Journal of Sports Law & Contemporary Problems seeks to investigate the intersection between law and sports with a focus on today's most important sports law issues. Our mission is to educate our readers about the various legal issues surrounding the sports industry and to discuss the contemporary problems that result.

In addition to our publications, the Journal hosts an annual symposium each spring for sports professionals and enthusiasts. Our panelists discuss their experiences and explore various sports law issues. Previous symposium guests have included an owner of the Chicago Cubs, an Executive Vice President for the Detroit Lions, an in-house counsel for the Chicago White Sox, and sports agents from the National Basketball Association and National Football League. The symposium also serves as a great networking forum for those interested in becoming part of the industry.
