My name is Cedric Hopkins and I bring over two decades of legal expertise to the table, complemented by my experience as a Division I basketball player. Having passed bar exams in California and Arizona, I've navigated diverse legal landscapes—from complex appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court to litigating hundreds of cases in court. Today, I use my extensive knowledge to demystify sports law and educate on NIL rights, helping you navigate the evolving landscape of college sports.

My platform isn't just about sharing knowledge; it's about building a community where learning is a collective experience. In the Field & Court Community, we value open, harassment-free discussions where everyone can contribute and grow. We explore critical legal topics in sports, deepening our collective understanding and enhancing our sense of belonging.
