Description

Same as LAW 279M and LAW 341G, Sports Law.

This course will cover various legal and business aspects of professional sports, the Olympics and amateur sports (i.e., intercollegiate athletics). Although we will focus primarily on domestic sports organizations, prominent international sports entities will be covered as well. Business and legal topics covered include league ownership and structure, antitrust law, labor law and collective bargaining, torts, contracts, agency, media issues and intellectual property, NCAA and conference alignment, and gender equity (Title IX). Class lecture and discussion may include speakers from the sports industry. Sports legal issues that are then-currently in the news will be examined in class as well. A general knowledge of sports is recommended but certainly not required.
