Mentorship
Grow Your Sport Law Career with Experienced Guidance
FISLA Mentorship connects students and emerging practitioners with experienced members of the international sport law community. It brings academic knowledge and professional experience together, so that each informs the other.
Whether you are taking your first steps or building a specialist career, you will learn from people who work in the field.
About the Programme
Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom
Sport law is practised differently across countries, institutions and legal systems. Mentorship gives you direct access to the perspective of someone who has worked through those differences in practice.
Mentors share experience and advice. Mentees bring fresh questions and ideas. Together they build the kind of lasting professional relationships that FISLA exists to encourage.
