Article II. Mission an Purposes
Mission: The mission of the Chapter is to educate and inform members about the fields of entertainment and sports law. The society organizes on campus symposiums as well as trips to various conventions, exposing members to some of the nation’s most prominent sports and entertainment lawyers
Purposes: In striving to accomplish this mission, the Chapter shall design a program geared towards introducing interested students to the diverse field of sports and entertainment law.

The Society will accomplish its mission and purpose by:
— Providing members current, practical information as well as public policy and scholarly viewpoints that are of professional and academic interest in the field of entertainment and sports law.
— Hosting one symposium per semester in order to bring prominent agents and lawyers in the sports and entertainment industry to the St. Thomas University School of Law campus.
