Sports Law Clinic

This exciting new clinic provides students with the opportunity to work on current issues in sports law and policy.  

About the Sports Law Clinic

The Sports Law Clinic works on a variety of cases rooted in making sports fair, accessible, and safe for all levels of athletes. Past projects have included developing NIL policy and procedures for UB's D1 Athletics Department, creating a model law and supporting white paper to require sports venues to implement emergency action plans ("Damar's Law"), and providing support to the public sector (Erie County) in negotiations for the Buffalo Bills new stadium project.  Students in this clinic also submit papers for industry publication.
