In March 2017, Beck & Dodge represented a top swimming prospect before a CIF Appeals Panel, obtaining a favorable ruling and resulting in immediate eligibility for the student-athlete.
The CIF section previously ruled that the student-athlete had transferred schools for athletically-motivated reasons and ruled him ineligible for a year, which would have ended the athlete's high school career. Beck & Dodge assisted the family in presenting their case to the CIF Appeals Panel, and overturning the local CIF section's ruling.
