Publisher's Note Building upon the relationship between law and sports, this book explains the fundamentals and provides real-world insights in this fascinating study of sports law. It is well-organized and helps readers understand the legal issues facing many players in the sports industry. With numerous Web sites, recent cases, and other references, readers can research specific areas of interest.
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 (booknews.com)
