So here I am sitting in Bar Review class, listening to a lecture on how to write an essay on criminal law and criminal procedure. I am about ready to eat the poisoned fruit from the poisonous tree and call it quits. I have not taken a criminal law class or other related class in law school since 1L year. All of my chosen classes were related to sports and entertainment law; intellectual property, and dispute resolution. Unfortunately for me, none of the classes are tested on the California Bar. To maintain my interest in these subject areas I decided to start this blog to discuss the legal intricacies and going-on in this trying time of labor uncertainty in professional sports! Thus, welcome to Lockout Lowdown--a blog dedicated to contemporary labor law issues in professional sports leagues.
