About

The McGill Sports and Entertainment Law Association (MSELA) is a student-led organization at McGill University’s Faculty of Law. MSELA strives to support students interested in the field of sports and entertainment law by providing the ideal forum to learn from mentors and expert guest speakers in these industries. MSELA also aims to foster a sense of community and collegiality on campus by organizing fun events centered on sports and entertainment.

History

True to the McGill spirit, our club has a much deeper-rooted history than we initially realized. With records as early as 2008, we continue to search to discover exactly when our club was established.

 

Originally going by the "McGill Entertainment and Sports Law Association (MESLA)", which (at some point) was changed to our current name, we hope to find out more about just how far our connections go.
