In response to a growing demand for qualified attorneys to work in the nation’s $225-billion equine, racing and gaming industries, and with several casinos in development stage across New York state, Albany Law School announced that it will offer a concentration in equine, racing and gaming law—the only one of its kind in the nation—starting September 2014 for the incoming class of 2017.
Offered through The Saratoga Institute for Equine, Racing and Gaming Law—the new institute within Albany Law School’s Government Law Center—the concentration will encompass expanded courses on equine law, racing regulations and gaming industry law, which will be added to a pre-existing business concentration that offers such courses as administrative, insurance, employment and tax law.
The institute will serve as a comprehensive educational and professional training center for the equine, racing and gaming industries. Institute offerings will include educational conferences and continuing legal education events, seminars on commonly encountered legal issues and a cyber lunch series for private and public attorneys to discuss similar legal issues.
To ensure the future of The Saratoga Institute for Equine, Racing, and Gaming Law and the new concentration, Albany Law School is pursuing opportunities for long-term, sustainable funding sources.
