EE. UU. – La IAGA nombra a los ganadores del Premio de Beca Shannon Bybee 2019

La Asociación Internacional de Asesores de Juegos (IAGA) ha anunciado los ganadores del Premio de Becas Shannon Bybee 2019, un programa anual que otorga premios a los mejores trabajos de investigación académicos escritos sobre temas relevantes de juegos por estudiantes acreditados de facultades de derecho como parte de su trabajo de clase durante el año escolar.

Las presentaciones anuales se solicitan a estudiantes de derecho de facultades de derecho de América del Norte y son juzgadas por un comité de abogados miembros de la IAGA que practican el derecho del juego. Los becarios de 2019 son:

“The History that Preceded Historical Gaming: How Parimutuel Wagering Won its Place in America, as Typified by Kentucky” by Alex Gardner, Vanderbilt University Law School.

“Surveillance as a Tool for Efficiency and Legal Concerns” by Corey Hallquist, University of Nevada, Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law

“This year we received a diverse selection of submissions from law students throughout North America, and this year’s applicants addressed issues ranging from surveillance and pari-mutuel wagering to checks and balances in the video game industry and the normalisation of gaming regulations,” commented Jennifer Roberts, Bybee Scholarship Committee CoChair and Associate Director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) International Center for Gaming Regulation. “The Bybee Scholarship is an excellent way to encourage the next generation of gaming industry legal experts to become engaged in critical gaming issues, and we are pleased that we continue to receive such excellent and thought-provoking submissions.”

The Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award was established to honor the memory of Shannon Bybee, one of IAGA’s founders who had a distinguished career as a gaming attorney, Nevada regulator, industry executive and pioneer in the field of education in casino operations and gaming law. Inducted into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of Fame in 2002 because of his significant contributions to responsible gaming, Bybee also played an important role in the development of problem gambling regulations and advocacy.
