Law Student Wins Scholarship for Published Article on Internet Gaming
Michael Salad, Shepard Broad Law Center student
The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) has announced the winners of the 2012 Shannon Bybee Scholarships at the 2012 IAGA International Gaming Conference held in Las Vegas. The IAGA is a nonprofit professional corporation dedicated to the study and development of gaming regulation and compliance.
The scholarships are awarded annually to law student authors of articles of significance to the understanding and practice of gaming law. Law Center student Michael Salad was awarded a $2,500 scholarship underwritten by International Game Technology for his article titled, Royally Flushed: The Legislative Fight to Legalize Internet Gambling.
Articles are judged on their merit by an IAGA national panel of attorneys whose practices reflect significant emphasis on gaming law. Panel member Richard Nathan of Denver, Colorado said, “The task of judging the entrants becomes more difficult each year as we are asked to single out two papers from amongst all of those we receive as meriting special consideration. IAGA founder Shannon Bybee, a former gaming attorney, regulator and industry executive, would be proud at the level of quality in authorship and value to the gaming industry that his namesake award generates”.
