"I teach a course called The Legal Life of, and this semester, we are doing the legal life of the Olympic Games, and we are studying all aspects of the law of the Olympics. All of the, semester long, we’ve been looking into issues like broadcasting rights and IP protections and anti-doping and sports arbitration and just anything that comes up in the Olympics. And we’ve had an amazing time doing that. And the culmination, for the class will be that we are going to the Olympics in July."

"And we have, multi gold medal winning Olympian Edwin Moses here with us today to wrap up the Olympic experience for us. Obviously he is a celebrated Olympian who has done so many things to advance the Olympic movement, and so we’re just really happy that he made time for us and that he’s here to talk to the students about, you know, just what it is like to be a gold medal winning Olympian and so much more because he’s been so involved in the Olympic movement from policy, to representation. He sits on many Olympic boards, and so it’s just really going to be a wonderful conversation we’re going to have on the final day."

"Whether we’re studying the life of a musician or of a creative or television personality -the Olympics is no different in that it’s a worldwide sporting event, and there are many business and legal ramifications, and what I hope they walk away from is understanding what those are, being able to talk about it in their everyday legal practice life, and giving them a glimpse of what it’s like to be an attorney on either side of the table."

STORYLINE:
Georgia State professor Moraima “Mo” Ivory is known for bringing celebrities like Steve Harvey and Ludacris into her law class.
But now she’s taking her Atlanta law students on a free trip to the Paris Olympics this summer in hopes of creating real-life teachable moments.
Primarily funded by Delta Airlines, the weeklong trip is for students in her Legal Life course.
During the semester, Ivory brought in guest speakers like the general counsel of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Olympian Edwin Moses and civil rights icon Andrew Young — Atlanta’s mayor during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Her students have learned about adhering to the laws of the host city, NBC’s exclusive U.S. broadcast contract, corporate governance, intellectual property ownership, security protocols and how the International Olympic Committee functions.
More than 30 students will study the business and legal issues related to the Olympics. They’ll also do a scavenger hunt around Paris in hopes of looking for all trademarks that the class studied throughout the semester.
