In the last two decades, gaming law has emerged as a critically important legal specialization.

The founding members of the IMGL pressed forward in the face of these obstacles because they observed and felt compelled to address a critical need to bring focus to the practice of gaming law. The result? The IMGL has become recognized as a leader in the gaming industry.
