Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (11/13/09)

Yesterday was the first day of Puerto Rico Baseball League game-play.  We are lucky to have two clients on Ponce, the most dominant team in the league.  The players are Pete Parise and Roberto Feliciano.  This weekend is a big road game for the Florida Gators.  Coach Spurrier will definitely put up a fight against us.  The law school semester is coming to a close.  For my paper-based classes, it is crunch time.  For the others, I will soon have to hit the books and get prepared to take some difficult final exams.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Sports Agent

By Darren Heitner

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
