Episode 17 - Sports Lawyer Darren Heitner

This week Kevin Israel and Matt Ritter steer the ship. We discuss the week's crazy legal stories. A professor at one of our favorite law schools, Ohio Northern, gets in hot water for getting too friendly with one of his law students. We also touch on the law firm in Houston that is paying their 1st years the equivalent of 414k in NY. We debate which cities we would live in if they paid that kind of money. Found out how Kevin feels about working as a lawyer in Vegas, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland or KC. We also get into why the White House rejected a petition to build a real life Death Star. Then, Matt is joined by top sports lawyer and writer for Forbes, Darren Heitner. He joins us to discuss all things sports law. How he got his start at such a young age, some of the challenges of being a sports lawyer and how his age is now a big benefit. He also tells us things like the going rate for sponsor money in the bowling game and tells us that managing expectations and having a low key personality are the best traits in dealing with high profile clients. We discuss his potential future in politics and how 20 years from now when he's president, Comedians at Law can say we were there at the beginning!
