Sports Law is a student-friendly text that is centered around case studies that address the legalities within the sports industry. Written from the sport management perspective, not a lawyers, this book covers all the major areas presented in sports law today including cases relating to torts, contracts, intellectual property and agents. 

Each chapter contains anywhere from two to three legal opinions for students to read and brief. Edited court opinions are used to exemplify the legal issues involved in sports management. Also, each of the cases illustrates and explores a major legal doctrine. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter give students the opportunity to test their analytical reasoning.

Factual scenarios throughout the text allow students to apply sport management principles to legal issues facing the sports executive.
