LLM student wins prestigious Sports Law prize

Congratulations to Paul Horvath, one of our LLM students specialising in sports law, for winning the Paul Trisley Award for the year’s best academic paper on a sports law topic.

Paul’s paper, League Structure, Economics and Best Governance Practice in Metropolitan Australian Football Leagues was a modified version of a paper he wrote for the Melbourne Law Masters subject Sports Law: Entities and Governance originally submitted in early 2007.

The prestigious annual award was established in 1995 by the Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Association and presented to Paul at the Association’s annual conference dinner in Queensland in November 2007.

His paper will be published in the 2008 edition of the Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Journal, a refereed publication.
