EVENT OF THE WEEK
Baseball exec to give NU lecture
Robert A. DuPuy, president and chief operating officer of Major League Baseball, will present Northwestern University School of Law’s 2005 Pope & John Lecture on Professionalism, titled “Good Sports Make Bad Law.”
The talk is taking place at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the School of Law, 357 E. Chicago Ave.
DuPuy has been involved in most of Major League Baseball’s legal issues since 1989, when he was brought in as outside legal counsel. Previously, he was a partner at Foley and Lardner, where he served on its management committee and was chairman of its professional standards committee.
As the league’s chief legal officer, he oversaw the consolidation of the American and National Leagues into the central offices, the consolidation of MLB’s office in Washington, and the formation of Major League Baseball Advanced Media, as its initial CEO.
The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow. For information, call Pat Vaughan Tremmel at 847-491-4892 or p-tremmel@northwestern.edu.
