Legally Brief

Bonus Episode: Why Isn‘t USA Lacrosse Protecting Female Players?

Boys and men that play lacrosse must wear helmets to protect against concussions and other injuries.

For girls and women lacrosse players, who face concussion and injuries, there is no helmet mandate. 

It is estimated that over 44% of concussions suffered by female lacrosse players could have been prevented if these players wore helmets.

USA Lacrosse, the institution that oversees women's lacrosse, uses "tradition" and avoidance as a way to not mandate helmets for women.

But change agent, dad, coach and entrepreneur Rob Stolker is challenging tradition with the co-founding of Hummingbird Sports https://www.hummingbirdsports.com/.

Rob and Hummingbird Sports are on a mission to change the way we protect female lacrosse player.

New Series: Making Our Institutions Work: How A Judge and Attorney Violated Trust to Corrupt an Institution

Legally Brief Presents... The Series: "How to Make Our Institutions Work"

Corporate change agents, disruptors, and survivors want institutions plagued by discrimination, harassment, sexual and political abuse to stop, listen and reform.

Are institutions unable, unwilling or indifferent to change?

Institutions are not dead lifeless brick and mortar structures.  At their heart, our judicial, corporate, educational and religious institutions are made of living breathing human beings. 

So it goes without saying that identifying, correcting and halting institutional abuses benefits everyone.

Join me as Legally Brief begins a new series discussing "How to Make Our Institutions Work" for us.

The Legally Brief series will show how using the "ACTIVE" method can change systems that abuse power and violate trust.

NCAA vs. Student Athletes: Are Athletes Fairly Compensated?

On March 31, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of NCAA vs. Alston. 

The Court is expected to issue a decision that will touch on a number of issues that affect  NCAA Division I student athletes.  For years, Division I football and basketball players, a majority of whom are African American, have pushed for the:

• NCAA to provide a more equitable share of the billions of dollars generated by athletes;
• use of athlete name, image and likeness; and
• ability to fully engage in academics.

The NCAA, maintains that student athletes are amateurs who are already fairly compensated.
