Bud Selig, Major League Baseball Commissioner
Bud Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball, will be the keynote speaker at this Saturday’s Conference on Sports and Entertainment Law—the fourth such annual event at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
The yearly panel-filled occasion is hosted by the school’s Sports and Entertainment Law Journal.
(I’ve mentioned past events here and here.)
Here are the details for the “day of discussion on critical issues in sports and entertainment law”:
- Date: Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013
- Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, followed by a reception for attendees and speakers
- Location: Arizona State University Memorial Union, Arizona Ballroom 221 (2nd Floor), 1290 S. Normal Ave., Tempe, AZ, 85287
The full agenda (with registration page) is here.
Given the breaking news involving the MLB and Alex Rodriguez, I’m thinking attendees may have some interesting legal questions for the Commissioner.
If an attorney or law student (one who is not an event organizer) would like to pen a follow-up guest blog post about the conference, contact me at arizona.attorney@azbar.org. And yes, I like photos too.

Agreed, Tony. I wonder if the adversity he met, and the scandals he’s had to address, helped him grow into the job. Those things have always helped me!
