Earlier this month, Case School of Law's Center for Law, Technology and the Arts hosted a symposium entitled Sports and Eligibility: Who is Eligible to Play? Panelists included Joe Rosen, Alan Milstein, Chris Callanan, and me (for a complete list, click here). It was a great event, and I thank both symposium chair Peter Carfagna--the Distinguished Visiting Practitioner at Case Law and Senior Counsel at Calfee, Halter & Griswold--and Craig Allen Nard--Director of the Center for Law, Technology & the Arts and Tom J.E. and Bette Lou Walker Professor--for their invitation to participate.A video of the entire symposium can now be streamed on-line at this link (you are given the choice to watch the symposium through Windows Media Player or Real Player). A future issue of the Case Western Reserve Law Review will provide a transcript of our remarks.
Although I very much enjoyed being a panelist, and I'm delighted to be published in the Case Western Reserve Law Review, the trip's highlight was clearly sitting in a floor seat at the Cavs-Grizzlies game on Friday, November 11. Joe Rosen and I were grateful recipients of Peter Carfagna's Cavs tickets. That was the first time I had ever seen Lebron James in person -- and after watching him play and dominate, I can say with confidence that the new NBA age floor appears even more regrettable, unfair, and possibly illegal.
