Sports Law / Edition 1

by Adam Epstein

Overview

The goal of this text is to provide easy access to legal issues involved in sport and the sport industry. The book's target audience is the nonlawyer and the non-law student, particularly sport management, legal studies, and paralegal students. Some chapters, such as a chapter on sports contracts, introduce the reader to skill sets, while others, such as the one on sports torts, present a more general view of that area of the law. Special attention is given to the needs of students who might study law only once during their academic career. Cases, chapter questions, and summaries are included. Epstein is chair of the Legal Studies Department at South College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
