This work provides a detailed examination of sports and law issues within the socio-economic and cultural context of the role that sport plays in society. It reflects the growth and importance of sports law as a distinct area of legal inquiry. Guidance has been obtained from a number of international sports law writers, including Professor John Barnes at the University of Western Ontario, author of Sports and the Law in Canada, and Professor Martin Greenberg, Director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University in Milwaukee and author of Sports Law Practice.

From the Back Cover

Sports Law provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which the law has impacted on how sport is played, administered and consumed. The author writes in a clear and engaging manner, tracing the origins and sources of this rapidly evolving subject and drawing examples from a wide range of professional and amateur sports to illustrate the important current debates and topics of interest.

This edition has been fully updated and includes analyses of the Pechstein and Sharapova decisions, the state aid rulings on financial support for Spanish and Dutch football clubs, and a review of the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Including features such as updated ‘Hot topic’ discussion boxes, this text makes an ideal companion to the study of sports law.
Mark James is Professor of Sports Law and Director of Research at Manchester Law School, Manchester Metropolitan University. He has published widely in the area of sports law and is currently Editor for the Entertainment and Sports Law Journal.
‘This is the strongest sports law textbook I have seen.’ – Richard Parrish, Centre for Sports Law Research, Edge Hill University, UK
‘Innovative, authoritative and accessible. Students will appreciate its depth of coverage and its clear layout, while those with a greater expertise can still learn from his lucid, thought-provoking exploration of the key issues. I’ve enjoyed reading it.’ – David McArdle, Stirling Law School, UK
‘An excellent comprehensive text covering relevant areas. The style is clear, interesting and readable and I think will be accessible to our non-law students as well as to those who are more familiar with the legal principles.’ – Fiona Buchanan, Department of Law, University of Cumbria, UK
