Further Discounts

As with all LawInSport's activities, we set the price to be as inclusive as possible. A full price ticket equates to less than 1 hour of billable time for the majority of lawyers around the world. For students it is less than the price of a couple of cups of coffee for each session, and is less than 5% of the cost of many online courses. Therefore, we hope you will understand why we do not offer any additional discounts.
