Yes, you read that correctly, sports immigration law \u2013 it&#8217;s a real thing.<\/p>\n<p>Now you may be able to anticipate what I am going to say next, but if you\u2019re like me and relatively uneducated on the topic \u2013 then prepare for that feeling of, \u201cThat makes sense, how come I never thought of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I sat down at a table dressed professionally with white cloth, with a <em>gratis<\/em>\u00a0Mexican platter of beans, rice, and enchiladas. I began to quick-eat to satisfy my hunger before the panel began. As I ate the fiesta on my plate an attorney sat down directly to the right of me, who came to support her fellow Immigration Law colleagues. Before I could ask a question she started explaining her practice and the field, using the\u00a0<a title=\"LA Clippers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/tvc\/index.html?gamecode=20130211\/LACPHI&amp;brand=LAC\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>\u00a0as an example, and the story goes as so\u2026<\/p>\n<p>On Feb 2nd of 2013, the Los Angeles Clippers traveled on a road trip to Toronto for their game against the <a title=\"Raptors\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/raptors\/splash\" target=\"_blank\">Raptors<\/a>. Before arriving, the Clippers management \u2013 aware of Canadian Law- contacted this attorney (who I will keep anonymous for the time being) to make sure the players would have no trouble crossing the border. At the time I thought this was odd, because I often read about American Senior Citizens crossing the border to get pain medication and the issue is not entrance into Canada, but re-entrance back into the United States. So what were the Clippers concerned about? Were some of the players wanted by the Canadian police? Were they international criminals? My guesses weren\u2019t even close. The Clippers were worried about their players\u2019 DUI convictions. Turns out, Canada is extremely harsh on prior DUI convictions, even those that did not occur in Canada.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Routine screening\u00a0upon entry into Canada\u00a0includes the question, \u201cHave you ever been convicted of a crime?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If\u00a0you have been\u00a0convicted of impaired driving \u2013 even if no collision was\u00a0involved &#8211;\u00a0you\u00a0may be\u00a0denied entrance.\u00a0 Even with no other criminal violations. Think carefully.\u00a0 Don\u2019t lie\u00a0about any convictions, regardless of how \u2018trivial\u2019.\u00a0 This is especially true\u00a0if\u00a0 you\u2019re entering from the U.S.\u00a0 Increased cooperation between Canada and\u00a0U.S., as part\u00a0of\u00a0post-911 security measures, means that the border agent\u00a0could already\u00a0have access to\u00a0criminal records. Lying\/forgetting\u00a0about a conviction could get you barred from entry into Canada for many years. \u00a0-via <a title=\"TripAdvisor.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Travel-g153339-c49436\/Canada:Dwi.Or.Dui.Driving.Convictions.html\" target=\"_blank\">TripAdvisor.com<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once again I envy the Canadian way, this is a great issue for a country to put its foot down on. It is relatively uncontroversial and saves lives.<\/p>\n<p>Now the attorney wouldn\u2019t dish exactly which Clippers had prior DUI convictions, but she did mention ten of the players were concerned with the strict law. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m surprised. Ever see those KIA commercials? I imagine\u00a0<a title=\"Blake Griffin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blakegriffin.com\/pages\/splash\" target=\"_blank\">Blake Griffin\u00a0<\/a>in his Optima flying down the 405 with a jet pack in the back seat. Regardless, as the Clippers&#8217; immigration attorney she researched and successfully found a way for the convicted players to enter Canada.<\/p>\n<p>At a panel where I expected to be mildly entertained about lawyers who moved here from another country or who help people immigrate from foreign soil; I had the pleasure of learning about a new aspect of sports law \u2013 sports immigration law. It reaches to Olympic athletes, foreign boxers who fight in Las Vegas, and teams in the Little League World Series; but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Think NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS, MMA, UFC, WWE, and more. All of these sports play internationally and have international players on their teams; all of whom aforementioned can afford high legal fees. Needless to say, sports immigration law is a lucrative business and one that I will keep an eye on as I continue into the depths of sports law.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5094\" style=\"width: 136px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2013\/02\/berman.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5094\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5094 \" alt=\"Jared Berman\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2013\/02\/berman.jpg\" width=\"136\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jared Berman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>About the author:<\/strong><br \/>\nJared Berman is a University of Arizona Alumnus (2011) and first year student at Chapman Law School.
