We’re thrilled to welcome Professor Melinda Roth to New England Law Boston!

With a background in business and finance and a lifelong passion for sports, Professor Roth brings a unique perspective to the classroom, focusing on the intersections of business, finance, and sports law.

Her advice to students? Be a goldfish. Have a 10-second memory and learn to move past a bad day, a bad cold call, a bad grade, a verdict that does not go their client's way.

We’re excited to have Professor Roth join our community and look forward to getting to know her both inside and outside the classroom!
