Sports Law: College Athletics, COVID-19, Athlete Rights
2020-12-08 17:30 - 18:30
Like the rest of the world, college athletics has been impacted by COVID-19. While some conferences have canceled seasons for the fall semester, others are moving forward with games the best they can. Playing college sports during a pandemic, on campuses where most students are studying remotely, raises clear questions about student-athlete rights and safety. Make no mistake about it, college athletics brings in lots of money, and economic considerations are being made and weighed against the health and safety risks associated with competition.
How are the NCAA and its member institutions handling the pandemic while balancing economic considerations? Will college athletics look differently following the pandemic, and how will Name, Image and Likeness (“NIL”) fit into the picture?
Please join UNC School of Law and the Law Alumni Association to explore these questions and more. Special guests for the evening include:

Professor Lissa Broome, Burton Craige Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Banking and Finance
Professor Barbara Osborne, Sport Administration and Law/Sport Administration Dual Degree Coordinator.

Panelists will lead a discussion on sports law, offering their input and answering questions from attendees.

North Carolina Law Review Symposium: Apprendi at 20
2020-10-09 15:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
The North Carolina Law Review presents “Apprendi at 20.”
In Apprendi v. New Jersey, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized the right to have aggravating sentencing factors found by a jury. The decision created a new Sixth Amendment sentencing doctrine, disrupting decades of sentencing reform in Congress and in the states. This symposium will discuss the impacts of Apprendi, twenty years later.
Attorneys may self-file for CLE credit for attending the symposium. The symposium will be a two-hour online event, which may qualify for two hours of CLE credit in North Carolina, if approved. The speaker biographies and summaries of what they will be discussing at the symposium will be posted in the coming weeks. This information may be used to self-file with the North Carolina State Bar.
