Publisher's Synopsis
<p> Career choices in sports law are divided into two broad categories: professional (sports business management) and amateur (sports coaching and administration). <b>Sports Law: Governance and Regulation,</b> adapted from the authors’ top law school text, addresses both roles: professional issues of contracts, torts, agency, labor/employment law, health and safety, and intellectual property rights for marketing as well as amateur issues such as sports regulation in high school, college and Olympic levels, and gender/racial equality. The authoritative author team has carefully edited and adapted their successful casebook to fit the needs of undergraduate and graduate sport management students. Their wealth of sports law experience provides interesting and insightful cases, examples and problems to help students with legal issues they will face in their careers. Terms and legal vocabulary are called out in body of the text and immediately defined for better comprehension. </p> <p> This text is available in <b>ebook</b> format from the <a target="_blank" href="http://store.vitalsource.com/show/9781454809760"> VitalSource Store</a>. <br />To download and use the ebook, you will need the free VitalSource Bookshelf software. <a target="_blank" href="http://support.vitalsource.com/kb/vbs-ht/download-the-latest-version-of-vitalsource-bookshelf"> DOWNLOAD NOW </a><br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://store.vitalsource.com/show/9781454809760"><img src="http://www.aspenlaw.com/redesign/images/th-vitalsource.gif" style="border:0;" alt="VitalBook Format Available" /></a> </p> <p> Features: </p> <ul> <li> Addresses both broad categories of <b>careers in sports law</b>, including sports business management, sports coaching, and administration <ul> <li> contracts </li> <li> agency </li> <li> labor/employment law </li> <li> health and safety </li> <li> intellectual property rights for marketing </li> <li> sports regulation in high school, college and Olympic levels </li> <li> constitutional law </li> <li> gender and racial equality, Title IX </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>Interesting, insightful cases and examples</b> from authors’ wealth of sports law experience </li> <li> <b>Examples, cases, and problems</b> identify legal issues students will face in practice </li> <li> <b>Terms and legal vocabulary</b> <ul> <li> called out in body of the text </li> <li> defined immediately for student comprehension </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>Well-edited cases</b> encourage critical thinking and discussion in the classroom </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
