Description: First issued in 1986, this volume and its companion on professional sports leagues were soon recognized as "one of a kind . . . an ideal source for the sports law practitioner." Now, the editors provide a thoroughly revised and updated version. The volume identifies the most significant and current cases in amateur sports (and overlap areas in professional sports, such as tort liability and criminal law). It provides extensive analysis and interpretation of each case in clear, readable, and lively style. While designed as a text in sports law and sports management, the volume also serves as a comprehensive handbook for professionals in law firms, the leagues, associations, and among agents.
