Wayne State University Law School second-year students Fatima Dakroub and Andrew Vailliencourt won the law school’s In-House NFL Contract Negotiation Competition for the second year in a row on Saturday, November 20.
Dakroub and Vailliencourt will advance to Tulane Law School’s Professional Football Negotiation Competition in January and compete against students from across the country.
The teams of Dilan Kama and Samuel Kassab, and Joe Candela and Zachary Revoldt, tied and were named runners-up.
Now in its fourth year, the NFL Contract Negotiation Competition at Wayne Law is an opportunity for students to practice negotiation skills in front of practicing attorneys. Students represent either an NFL player or an NFL team and work to come to an agreement on a contract for their client.
The annual competition is supervised by Assistant Professor (Clinical) Rebecca Robichaud. Student organizers were Lindsey LaForest and David Wakefield. Event judges were Samer Hamade, Jaime Miettinen, Deborah Schneider, and Joe Vernon.
The event was sponsored by Sports Slaw, a podcast about the business of sports with perspectives from sports lawyer Deborah Schneider, and former NFL player Lomas Brown.
