What We Do
The Center for Sports Law and Policy at Duke Law School is a forum for sports law and policy-related engagement and programming at the University.
Consistent with Duke’s interdisciplinary strengths, the work of the Center examines:
- The regulation and business of professional, Olympic, and education-based sport
- The welfare of athletes, including their health and educational development
- The promise of sport as a social good
Affiliated faculty at the Law School and the University bring the tools of their respective academic disciplines to bear on this work, alumni and guests contribute on-the-ground context and expertise, and dedicated students collaborate with faculty and alumni to conduct their own related research.
