Bowen Partners with Trojan Athletics to Provide Internship Opportunities for Law Students
The UA Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law and Trojan Athletics have formed a partnership featuring new internship opportunities for law students. 
The one-year program, beginning in the 2019-20 school year, will introduce interns to a broad spectrum of NCAA, Sun Belt Conference, and institutional regulations. Interns will serve an integral role in the enhancement of UA Little Rock’s compliance oversight responsibilities and services while gaining invaluable experience in athletics administration. The one-year internship also features a capstone trip to New Orleans to the annual Sun Belt Conference rules meeting.
“This began as a student-led effort and has expanded to provide opportunities for future students while filling a need for both departments,” said Dean Beiner. “We are excited to work with Trojan Athletics to provide this signature experience for Bowen students interested in sports law and regulatory compliance.” Read the article.
