On Thursday, October 21 and Friday, October 22, 2004 the National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School will be hosting a conference on The Evolving Nature of High School, College and Olympic Sports in the 21st Century at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Four conference panels made up of representatives of the United States Olympic Committee, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Court of Arbitration for Sport, United States Antidoping Agency, Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, and various colleges and athletic departments will discuss cutting edge issues in Amateur Athletics from drug testing in sports to amateurism and gender equity. Conference sponsors include the law firm of Foley & Lardner, College Town LLC, and ScheerGame Sports Development LLC. The conference is from 9 am to 5 pm on Thursday, October 21. On Thursday afternoon attendees are invited to take a tour of the Al McGuire Center, Marquette University's new athletic facility, before the conference reception. The conference will continue Friday, October 22, and conclude with the Master of the Game Award l! uncheon honoring Dr. Cedric Dempsey, former President of the NCAA. Thereafter, a CLE Seminar on Ethical Issues in Sports & Entertainment Law, co-sponsored by the NSLI and the Sports & Entertainment Law Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin, will be held from 2:00 - 5:00 pm. The conference, luncheon and seminar will be held at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Complete details including conference panels, registration costs and forms, conference sponsors, and details on the conference hotel are available on the web. We anticipate that conference attendees will earn approximately 8-10 CLE credit hours (50 minute states), while ethics seminar attendees will earn at least 3 CLE credit hours (50 minute states). The NSLI will apply for CLE credit to any state for which a conference or seminar attendee seeks credit. If you have any questions contact Professor Paul Anderson, the Associate Director of the National Sports Law Institute, at (414) 288-5816 (direct line) or by email at paul.anderson@mu.edu. We look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee in October!!
