As esports circles its way through industries, Southern University Law Center is continuing to build its reputation within the community by launching its Esports Law and Management Certificate. The certification course will give participants the opportunity to navigate the engaging world of esports from the lens of the legal profession.
The course is open to the public and will take place virtually May 8-19. The deadline to register is May 3. Ideal participants are professionals in law, information technology, music, sports, entertainment and related fields.
In March, SULC also unveiled its Esports Innovation Hub. The lab will host daily gameplay, competitions, retreats and more.
“This is a milestone moment for law schools and HBCUs alike, as we pave the way for increased diversity and inclusivity in the legal profession,” said Christopher Turner, coordinator of the Mixed Reality Virtual Innovation Gaming and Esports Institute. “This certification is a valuable asset for professionals looking to break into the esports industry or expand their knowledge in esports law and management.”
Within the Esports Law and Management Certification, participants will learn the legal complexities that involve managing a professional esports organization. Learning modules will cover topics, such as media rights, licensing, lawsuits and contacts.
The Law Center has partnered with knowledgeable and experienced industry professionals such as Danny Martin, CEO and co-founder of Esposure Inc., and Ryan Morrison, CEO of Evolved Talent and founding partner of Morrison Rothman LLP, to develop a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of esports law and management.
