BCLP Partner Sarah Hartley will serve as a moot court judge alongside several other prominent sports lawyers as the nation’s top sports law students present both sides of the NCAA v. Alston case in the first-ever “Moot Court Madness,” hosted by NOCAP Sports. Students from the top eight sports law programs around the country at Harvard, UCLA, Arizona State, Marquette, Notre Dame, Baylor, Texas Southern and UC Berkeley will argue both sides of the case.

She has worked with sports clients in the Olympic movement, professional sports and collegiate sports, and is regularly consulted on Safe Sport matters, governance and ethical issues. Her practice includes representing NGBs in connection with investigations and disciplinary proceedings involving allegations of sexual misconduct and physical abuse, governance issues, sponsorships and employment agreements. She has handled numerous contentious disputes regarding allegations of sexual misconduct by coaches, athletic personnel and others, and has assisted in the development of Safe Sport policies and arbitration procedures for the new U.S. Center for Safe Sport.
