February 05, 2013 • 12:15 PM • Law School 3043

Please join the Sports and Entertainment Law Society as we welcome Professor Joey Long of Mount Olive College as he presents his article entitled "A Contextual Study of the Non-Profit Duty of Obedience: The National Collegiate Athletic Association." His article is set to be published in the Seton Hall Journal of Sports & Entertainment Law in their Winter 2013 edition. This presentation will provide a brief description of the NCAA as a non-profit organization and its stated purpose, the background and current legal status of the non-profit duty of obedience, and will theoretically apply the non-profit duty of obedience principles to recent NCAA executive decisions, NCAA procedures, and the NCAA structure itself. Lunch will be provided. For more information, please contact Shelby Highstein at shelby.highstein@duke.edu.
