Paid athletes must be treated like employees. If your client is a university or NIL collective, workers’ comp coverage should be part of the risk management discussion.

Lawyers are a privileged group. We are the people in the world that are trained to solve the problems that plague society. Problem-solving is such a critical skill that, generally, lawyers are paid well when providing services to our clients. I am sure you have heard that to those that much is given, much is expected. Just doing well is not enough. To have a complete and successful life, you must do well and good at the same time.

My name is Archer. I am the grand dog of Justice Dillon and am your guest columnist for this edition of the Practice Page. I enjoy doing tricks, playing frisbee, tracking scents, swimming, taking walks, chasing squirrels, squeaky toys, and eating an occasional Puppuccino at Starbuck’s. I place my head outside of the car window to track the scents and know the way home. I have a page on Instagram. And I am part of a long-term study at the Canine Cognitive Center at the Veterinary College of the University of Arizona, where I periodically enjoy games and puzzles which track my vocabulary, memory, and reasoning as I get older and older. The school has awarded me a Barkelor’s Degree and a Muttster’s Degree for my efforts, and I am currently working toward my Dogtorate in Canine Cognition.

When I gave my remarks at our Gala, I talked about how showing up can lead to unexpected and meaningful opportunities. This summit is one of those opportunities for every one of us. I am asking you to be part of it. Come to a program hosted by a bar association you have never attended before. Sit next to someone you do not already know. Ask a question that helps you understand a different point of view.
