I am done with Summer law school finals. Business Orgs and Analysis & Drafting of Intellectual Property are out of the way…although I really enjoyed taking and learning the material for both classes. I cannot believe that in one-year from now, I will be done with law school and studying for the Bar Exam. I am about to begin preparations for the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium. 2009’s symposium was off the charts…2010’s will be even better. Dynasty will be announcing at least 1 more addition to its baseball division next week. We are also working on placing some basketball players overseas. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
