About the Competition
The Tulane International Baseball Arbitration Competition, organized by the Tulane Sports Law Society, is a simulated salary arbitration competition closely modeled after the procedures used by Major League Baseball (MLB). Like most law school moot court competitions, TIBAC's primary aim is to provide participants with an opportunity to enhance their oral and written advocacy skills. However, the competition is unique in that it allows law students to hone these skills within the specialized context of MLB's salary arbitration proceedings. The competition takes place annually in the early part of the spring academic semester at Tulane University Law School. Additionally, Tulane's Sports Law Society hosts a panel of experts to discuss legal issues related to baseball.
