Details

Stephen F. Ross presents this succinct introduction to key topics of law specific to sports, comparing approaches to sports law across the globe, with particular focus on the United States, Europe, and common law jurisdictions. Contrasting the profit-maximizing approach of North American leagues with the global integrated approach of professional sports governed by national and international governing boards, the book offers a novel model for the latter.

Key features include:

  • an exploration of how law facilitates or impairs revenue generation through contract, intellectual property, and other doctrines
  • an insight into remedies for player contract breaches
  • examination of the widespread use of arbitration in the resolution of sports law disputes
  • analysis of competition law and human rights law as the principal external legal constraints on sporting entities

This Advanced Introduction will be a useful resource for scholars and advanced students of sports law. It will also be beneficial for sports lawyers and practitioners, as well as those in the fields of global and transnational law.
