Legal career

Since retiring from play, Logan's name has become more known in GAA circles for his work as a lawyer, representing players in disciplinary hearings,{{cite web|url=http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=95&si=1659967&issue_id=14411|title=Forde steers case for defence to DRA|accessdate=2007-04-20}} most famously reducing Ryan McMenamin's suspension in 2005 to allow him to play the crunch quarter final game against Dublin, by pointing out that the Central Disciplinary Committee had no authority to use television footage when considering a player's punishment. This appeal set a precedent that allowed several other players to successfully revoke their suspensions, such as Armagh players, Kieran McKeever and Paul McGrane.{{cite web|url=http://www.unison.ie/anglo_celt/stories.php3?ca=95&si=1452161&issue_id=12877&printer=1 |title=Too many conflicts and contradictions in current G.A.A.
