Amran Nawaz, Associate Director at Secretariat said “Secretariat is honoured to continue its support of SLAM for 2025, an event that continues to set the standard for excellence in sports arbitration training. As the landscape of sports law evolves, we remain committed to fostering opportunities for the next generation of advocates to develop their skills in a competitive, real-world setting. SLAM provides an invaluable platform for students to engage with the complexities of the CAS and gain firsthand experience advocating before leading arbitrators.”

About SLAM

SLAM provides students from around the world the opportunity to:

Develop and showcase their legal and advocacy skills before the world’s leading arbitrators and practitioners virtually and in-person;
Gain real world experience of international sports arbitration under the leading procedural rules;
Receive complimentary training on drafting written submissions and advocacy from some of the world’s leading advocates and arbitrators in world sport.

Students compete for the chance to win:

£1500 for the winners of the competition
£1000 for the runners-up of the competition

The competition welcomes students from all over the world and strives to be diverse in its student and judging base. Deserving students are provided with financial assistance for both the registration fee and the costs of appearing in the in-person rounds of the competition (if they advance), where there is demonstrated financial need, to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent students from receiving the exposure to sports law through the competition.

It is a non-profit initiative that brings together people from around the world to support and provide opportunities for students to connect, gain valuable experience that will help them in their career in law and sport. SLAM has seen:

230+ teams from 30+ countries entering the competition
100+ CAS Arbitrators & 100+ advocates, have volunteered their time and expertise to help judge the written submissions.
