Notes

How do we apply the law to the business of sports? How do legal issues govern and affect the everyday operation and experience of sports as we know it? We will examine the practical application of the law in a variety of contexts with respect to sports. We will use a 360 degrees approach to examine issues related to various transactions within the business of sports (e.g. Player Services Agreements, Endorsement Contracts, Sponsorship Agreements, Vendor Agreements, Land Use and Distribution Agreements). We will conduct a thorough examination of Tort Law’s application to the world of sports as well as the growing explosion of the emphasis on Intellectual Property Law with the expansion of technology and media. We will also review the role of Antitrust Law in the History of Sports as well as Title IX’s impact on sports and greater society. The format of this seminar will be conducted in an interactive fashion with lecture and discussion, with significant student participation in class with respect to addressing the issues. Cases and other reading materials will be provided in preparation for in-class discussion.
