Buckner, a global-focused sports and education law firm with a litigation niche, will conduct its High School Summer Seminar Series, which will feature two sessions:

• “Best Practices When Your School Has an FHSAA Issue or Hearing”: This session will identify best practices to address instances when a student-athlete or sports team is declared ineligible for Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) competition.
• “Primer on the New NCAA Initial-Eligibility Rules”: This session will review the impact of the new National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) initial-eligibility legislation package for college-bound high school student-athletes.

The High School Summer Seminar Series will be conducted by Michael Buckner, an attorney for Buckner.
