introduction The Global Executive Master in International Spor ts Law will be aimed and focused on the sector of already experienced lawyer s, or other per sons already holding a B.A. degree who have proved experience and knowledge in the field of Spor t Law or Spor t Management, and will be interested in studying and receiving a Masters Degree in International Spor ts Law. As it is ISDE s Philosophy we do not only mean our students to reach the most up to date knowledge about Spor ts Law, but to acquire the skills that will help them to reach their professional goals. To do so we count on an academic staff composed by the most impor tant lecturers related to the Spor ts Law wor ld. Their commitment in making of this Programme the best Executive Master in Spor ts Law is the guarantee of its unequalled quality. In addition to that you will have the personalized care ISDE always provides to its students, to make of this Master your way of becoming one of the top professionals in Spor ts Law worldwide. Efraim Barak. Academic Director of the Global Master in International Sports Law LL.M. Senior Partner of D. Mirkin & Co. Advocates and Notaries "There is a huge difference between practicing Sport law (even when you are an excellent professional Sport lawyer) and knowing the wider perspectives, the deeper roots and the academic platform of Sport law. Many practicing Sport Lawyers lack the basic and academic knowledge of sport law, not because they do not want to have this knowledge, to the contrary, they do want to have it!, but for the mere fact that until some 10-15 years ago there were almost no formal studies in sport law. And still, the growing need for Sport lawyers, which was a by product of the evolution of sport and the change in the nature of sport, from leisure to business, established the Sport law practice and created a group of sport lawyers that have a lot of practical knowledge and experience however, they always feel that they still lack the academic or the wider and dipper knowledge in Sport Law. This new program, which is the first and only one of its kind, is aimed in feeling this gap and furnishing the Sport lawyer with the missing and needed elements for achieving the goal of moving from being good to being excellent".
Goals & Purposes 6 The main impor tance of the Programme is focused on teaching topics on major elements of International Spor ts Law, which the professional daily life of an international spor t lawyer or manager are not too much elaborated on. Due to the fact that this Programme will be offered to already practicing and experienced lawyer s or Spor t Managers with ongoing activities, the studies will be carried out by correspondence and on an 'on-line basis' however within the term of the program, three encounters will take place in Madrid for a period not lasting more than two days for each encounter. Methodology Online learning can provide learning outcomes that are comparable or even superior to those of conventional educational formats, as it is proved that on Executive Programes the students, which already have professional experience work better when self-directed, as they are shaped by the accumulation of authentic personal experience. Moreover their desire to learn grows out of a need to confront an ever-changing reality. Given their goal-oriented approach to learning and an ever more crowded personal calendar, a self-paced asynchronous design has proven to be a most effective instructional approach for online course formats. This means that given the right tools and with the Instructors playing a key role, the online methodology supplemented by the encounters taking place in Madrid will make the perfect combination to provide the Students with the knowledge and skills they meant to reach when they joined the Master. Juan de Dios Crespo. Professor of the Global Master in International Sports Law LL.M. Partner of Ruiz, Huerta y Crespo. You are already involved in Sports Law and you might have even a LL.M. but you are still facing a lot of different problems and you surely have the thought that you lack some input. Now, here is the present Global Master in International Sports Law to help you reach the top steps in your field, to improve your skills and to place you on the best possible knowledge in the legal sports context. The Global Master will permit you to swim (and not drown ) on the trouble waters of CAS, WADA, EU or USA law or even the today much needed Swiss Law. Thus, all the legal weapons that you might need in your daily basis for your clients, either for consultancy or for litigation will be at your disposal. This is the real and only Master (as far as I know) which such characteristics. And last but not least, the quality and experience of the professors is a must.
Methodology 7 All these have been settled and due to the fact that this Program will be offered to already practicing and experienced lawyers or Sport Managers with ongoing activities, it is therefore understood that our students will not be able to make themselves available for a consecutive period of study in Madrid, and so the studies will be carried out on an on-line basis. Each student will have a personal code with which he/she will access the classes on the website. The different classes are scheduled to be posted on-line every two weeks with the specific directions given by the lecturer, specifying the deadline for the students to send their cases, essays or exams. (b) The second meeting in the middle of the Program period, to be dedicated to a one or two-day course on the topic which will be studied in the relevant month. (c) The third one will be at the end of the Program, dedicated to an open forum and discussion on a major topic of International Sport Law as well as a final exam of the Program. During those two weeks, the student will read the documents and shall prepare the practical case and any other requests made by the professor. At the end of those two weeks, there will be an open discussion with the students in a forum where they will be able to raise any queries they may have. The students shall prepare the classes as per the lecturers instructions (read or prepare cases or literature, study specific materials, etc.). Each class will be composed by 2 parts: 1) Part 1: the professor will provide the students with the following documents: - learning material - references to bibliography - practical case - test or exam 2) Part 2: the professor will have a forum with the students where they will debate questions arising on the particular topic of study and will provide them with a document containing the conclusions of the subject. Within the terms of the Master three encounters will take place in Madrid for a period not lasting more than two days for each encounter. (a) The first one at the beginning of the Program, to be dedicated to a welcome ceremony as well as explaining and giving administrative instructions and an initial presentation on the first topic, which will be the topic of the first month.
