The Athletic Compliance Externship gives law students the unique opportunity to use legal research and writing skills in a non-traditional legal environment. Students are exposed to the inner workings of the athletic department’s compliance office, which includes interaction with other University departments, such as Athletics Administration, Financial Aid, and Admissions. In this placement, students gain practical experience and knowledge of NCAA and SEC rules through a variety of projects, which are not limited to online research of rules databases, drafting waivers and requests, and creating education materials for athletics staff and student-athletes. Collegiate athletics offices in general, and compliance offices specifically, more and more are drawing upon law graduates for their staff. An externship in the Ole Miss Athletics Compliance Office is an excellent way for students get ahead in this growing market.
