Aim of the seminar

With the recent publication of the European Commission White Paper on Sport, the holding of the World Conference on Doping in Sport in Madrid as well as the upcoming UEFA Euro 2008, it is an exciting time to be involved in sports law. As an institution focussed on the resolution of sports-related disputes, the CAS is in the midst of these developments. On the first day the seminar will address some of the critical issues in sports law today: the increasing role of European law in sport, the new World Anti-Doping Code and the legal issues surrounding the organisation of such a major sporting event as the UEFA Euro 2008. As will surely become tradition, the second day of the seminar will focus on the analysis of the most significant FIFA and CAS jurisprudence relating to international football.
