Ireland’s first sports law clinic to be launched tonight
The student-led initiative at University College Cork (UCC) will provide free legal information and advice to individuals, volunteers, sports clubs and organisations on sports law-related queries, while at the same time providing the students involved with real-life experience in the specialist area as part of their studies.
UCC’s new sports law clinic is one of only three such clinics in the world — the others are based at Valparaiso University in Indiana, and at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the USA.
