SOCCER AND LAWYERS
When We think about lawyers, and We think about lawyers and soccer, usually We don't are thinking in people kicking a ball. We imagine people with suit, perhaps as club or league managers, or in disciplinary board, etc. However there are many of them running behind a ball, in national, regional, and world Cups...
Biannually worldwide lawyers play their World Cup, and from more than 20 years Latinamerican lawyers play their Tournament every year. Last June over 1200 lawyers comprising soccer teams from Bar Associations across five continents played their World Cup. On the sport level, the Bar association of Marseille wins the tournament after playing a superb finale versus the team of Roma, holder of the Cup 2002. The 13th edition of the Mundiavocat will take place in Antalya (Turkey), a lovely place, from May 19 to May 29 2006.
In South America, every year, from more than 20 years, lawyers from Argentina, Chili and Uruguay play their tournament, meeting about 40 Bar Association teams.
USA also has its lawyers leagues and teams. The Lawyer Indoor Soccer League, based in New York, has women and men, everybody lawyers, playings currently its firts season.
