While Tucson’s world class golf facilities, natural beauty, and temperate climate make it an ideal placeto visit anytime, March is especially exciting as Spring Training begins for 12 major league baseballteams trying to get off to a fresh start in the Cactus League. Additionally the exhilarating thrills of theNCAA’s March Madness will be in full swing with Tucson’s own Arizona Wildcats, lead by the leg-endary Lute Olson, always in contention for one of the elusive Final Four spots.

USLAW is seizing upon all of this sports action to continue to build its own dynamic team, and wewant you to be part of that excitement.

On Friday morning, we kick off the educational portion off our Conference with a Plenary Sessionfeaturing the Arizona Diamondbacks’ General Partner and former top sports agent Jeff Moorad whowill share a behind-the-scenes look into the fascinating and high stakes world of professional sportscontract negotiations. He will undoubtedly give us all a few new tips on the art of “the deal.”

Jeff Moorad Owner andGeneral Partner Arizona Diamondbacks

One of the most recogniz-able names in professionalsports, Jeff Mooradbrought over 20 years ofsports industry experienceto Arizona on August 6,2004, when he was named

a member of the executive team of the ArizonaDiamondbacks. The career change was finalizedwhen the Office of the Commissioner formallyapproved Moorad as an owner and General Partnerin the Diamondbacks’ ownership group. Armed witha wealth of experience in Major League Baseball onthe player side of the table, Moorad is now thespokesman for the Diamondbacks’ general partner-ship as well as overseeing along with Ken Kendrickthe day-to-day operations of the franchise.

The founder of Moorad Sports Management, hebegan specializing in athlete representation in 1983,with his main focus on Major League Baseball.Moorad's reputation as a knowledgeable and respect-ed negotiator has earned him a spot on The SportingNews' 100 Most Powerful People in Sports on eightoccasions, as he helped revolutionize player repre-sentation.

Moorad's client base took off in 1984 when he wasretained by Will Clark and four other members of theU.S. Olympic baseball team, each of whom were topten draft choices. He then joined forces with Leigh

Steinberg in 1985 to form one of the most dynamictwosomes in the history of sports representation, cov-ering both Major League Baseball and the NationalFootball League. The successful duo negotiated over$3 billion in athlete contracts throughout their 18years together, including representing Hall of FamerSteve Young and future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman.

Moorad was the negotiator on a number of land-mark contracts for a client base that included MannyRamirez, Eric Karros, Ivan Rodriguez, Mo Vaughn,and current Diamondbacks, Shawn Green and LuisGonzalez, just to scratch the surface of All-Star talenthe represented. He also represented former D’BackMatt Williams, who joined Will Clark in spring train-ing with the Diamondbacks as on-field advisors.Moorad represented more than 40 first-round selec-tions from baseball's annual First Year Player Draft inhis practice, highlighted by breakthrough deals forNo. 1 overall selections Pat Burrell (1998) and DarinErstad (1995), both draft records at the time.

While sports representation occupied the majorityof Moorad's professional time, it also led to work inthe entertainment field as he has consulted andappeared in major motion picture projects involvingsports. Jeff was the baseball technical consultant forthe Universal motion picture "For Love of the Game"and had a cameo appearance in the movie, and thenhe and former partner Steinberg both appeared inand served as technical consultants to directorCameron Crowe in the 1996 Oscar-winning picture"Jerry Maguire."

A native of Modesto, California, Moorad earned anAssociate in Arts degree from Modesto JuniorCollege in 1976, where he served as Student BodyPresident, a degree in Political Science (B.A.) in 1978from UCLA, then received his law degree fromVillanova University School of Law (J.D.) in 1981.

From anearly age, children learn to ignore warnings. It shouldcome as no surprise that children and adults oftenignore product warnings. However, government agen-cies require consumer products to contain warnings,instructions for use, and other information. Is anyonereading the warnings? Should consumer product man-ufacturers use different, more or less complex warningsto increase consumer recognition and reaction? Thisprogram will focus on the overall effectiveness of prod-uct warnings and whether steps can be taken toincrease their effectiveness.
