March 4: Can Existing Antitrust Laws Govern a 21st-Century Digital Economy?

The University of Memphis Law Review invites you to attend this entirely VIRTUAL event exploring whether existing antitrust law is sufficient to govern a 21st-century digital economy. Modern antitrust law in the United States has developed from the original passage of the Sherman Act in 1890 to a system largely focused on protecting the competitive process and increasing consumer welfare. Is this approach adequate for the rapidly-changing digital economy of the 21st Century, where some claim that companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are reminiscent of the oil and steel trusts which motivated the original passage of the Sherman Act?

November 9/Oxford, MS: The Impact of Concussion Lawsuits on the Future of Football #MCLE

Once thought to be a badge of honor that doctors could quickly “cure” with a sniff of smelling salt, concussions have now become the subject of litigation that could threaten the future of football and other contact sports. Recent medical studies consistently show serious long-term effects for athletes who have had multiple concussions, including serious brain trauma and reduction in life expectancy. Where re-entering the game after a concussion, or even the week after a concussion, used to be common practice, there is an increasing burden on team physicians and the athletes themselves to consider the implications of going back onto the field. In light of this research, the four major American sports leagues have implemented concussion policies and procedures, but many question if these policies alone are sufficient to protect the athletes from permanent injuries.
The pending litigation against the National Football League by over 3,500 of its former players will be the first case to address the question of concussions on a larger scale.  At its heart are tort law questions of duty, causation, and assumption of risk by athletes, trainers, and administrators in responding to these injuries. How should courts allocate liability in such cases?
Further, this is a problem that transcends professional football, extending both to high school athletes and to female athletes. In fact, women’s soccer is the sport with the second highest amount concussions after football, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that nearly two million teenage athletes suffer brain injuries every year.
Presenters include a former NFL player, the lead attorney in the suit against NFL in Mississippi,  a head of the Concussion Center at Vanderbilt University, and two leading sports law professors.
