The 2014 Symposium, "The State of Concussions: Protecting Athletes through Advances in Law, Public Health, and Science," facilitates an interdisciplinary discussion on the effects and consequences of concussions in professional, collegiate, amateur, and recreational sports. With this important and timely event, JBTL brings together scholars, practitioners, medical professionals, legislators, and other interested parties to explore a wide range of topics that highlight the complex issues related to concussions in sports.
The symposium was presented in collaboration with the Business Law Program, the Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Association, the Business Law Society, the Maryland Intellectual Property Student Association, and the Maryland Journals Association. Support for the symposium was received, in part, from The Miles & Stockbridge Lowell R. Bowen Fund for Excellence.
