About this title

From School Library Journal:

YA?Given the central role played by both law and sports in contemporary American society, students will be familiar with many of the topics covered in this volume. Fifty original essays discuss cases involving the rights and responsibilities of coaches, franchise owners moving their teams from one city to another, and access to male locker rooms by female journalists. The material is organized into four sections: liability and legislation, regulation of organized sports, rights of players and owners, and racial and gender discrimination. Covering cases heard in federal and state courts and the actions of regulatory bodies like the NCAA, the essays range in length from 3-10 pages. Each one is followed by a selected bibliography. Useful for debaters, research, and fans and athletes interested in understanding legal issues involving sports.?Patricia Q. Noonan, Prince William Public Library, Manassas, VA
