Sports Law and Regulation: College Edition (Aspen College)

Career choices in sports law are divided into two broad categories: professional (sports business management) and amateur (sports coaching and administration). Sports Law: Governance and Regulation, adapted from the authors' top law school text, addresses both roles: professional issues of contracts, torts, agency, labor/employment law, health and safety, and intellectual property rights for marketing as well as amateur issues such as sports regulation in high school, college and Olympic levels, and gender/racial equality. The authoritative author team has carefully edited and adapted their successful casebook to fit the needs of undergraduate and graduate sport management students. Their wealth of sports law experience provides interesting and insightful cases, examples and problems to help students with legal issues they will face in their careers. Terms and legal vocabulary are called out in body of the text and immediately defined for better comprehension.
