DSNLU | VENATUS’19- National Sports Law Quiz Competition

DSNLU is organising a Quiz on Sports Law, ‘VENATUS’19- Third DSNLU National Sports Law Quiz Competition’ on 10th of March, 2019.

VENATUS’2k19 is aimed at sensitising the students of law on the emerging field of Sports Law. Sports Law is an amalgamation of all the legal fields of study. In the sub-continent, the field of study, is still at a nascent stage and requires adequate research and is gradually emerging as an important branch of Law. DSNLU identifies the need to encourage the next generation of lawyers to gain expertise in the field and train themselves to protect the interests of players, organizations, franchises, audiences and other stakeholders in this space.

This year’s Competition is the 3rd Edition of National Sports Law Quiz Competition.

The first edition VENATUS’16, which was organized on 25th of September, 2016 as a part of NINTH MYLE, the Ninth Foundation Day Celebration of DSNLU.
