Book SynopsisSport: Law and Practice, Fourth Edition is the leading legal title covering sports law and practice in the UK, and at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It serves both as a comprehensive statement of applicable law and precedent, and as a very practical guide to circumnavigating a complex sector. The new edition retains and updates all of the key chapters from previous editions, including the extended sections on challenges to the actions of sports governing bodies, and on anti-doping regulation and enforcement (with an introduction to the new 2021 World Anti-Doping Code). There are important updates to the chapters on Regulating Financial Fair Play, Misconduct, Safeguarding in Sport, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and Media Rights and Sport. The Fourth Edition also adds brand new chapters dealing with: -Effective sports regulation (including the first ever comprehensive discussions of the 'general principles of law' applied by CAS panels in determining challenges to sports regulations, as well as of the principles of interpretation of sports regulations). -Best practice in sports governance (describing developments such as the strengthening of the competence and independence of boards and the emergence of independent integrity units). -Data protection law and sport (including discussion of the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018 that facilitate the sharing of personal data by sports bodies for integrity-related purposes). -Exploiting commercially valuable sports data (explaining how sports rights-holders can fashion commercial agreements to meet the demand for sports data from the betting industry and others). -ESports (the first comprehensive treatment of the legal and practical principles underlying the regulation and commercial exploitation of the increasingly important ESports sector). Readers will also benefit from practice tips, precedent clauses, detailed explanations of key practical issues, and step-by-step analysis. This is an essential title for all sports law practitioners (solicitors and barristers, common law and civil lawyers), sports governing bodies, event organisers, clubs, participants, sports agencies and commercial partners, arbitrators, universities, and students. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Sports Law online service.Trade ReviewNo self-respecting Sports Lawyer, therefore, should be without a copy of this fine Book! -- Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw, International Sports Lawyer, Academic, Author * Global Sports Law and Taxation Reports (Review of previous edition) *Sport: Law and Practice remains the most comprehensive text for UK sports law...I expect to see this excellent book on sports law practitioner shelves up and down the country -- Kevin Carpenter, Solicitor, Sport, Media and Entertainment, Hill Dickinson LLP * Sport and Law Journal (Review of previous edition) *This volume deserves a place not only in the libraries of law schools, universities, and law firms, but also in an easily accessible position on the shelves and desks of individual sports lawyers, solicitors, barristers, leaders of governing bodies, sports agencies, and clubs, and in the libraries of commercial actors invested in sports, around the world...I must give this volume two thumbs up, way up -- Jeffrey Benz * Law in Sport (Review of previous edition) *…no serious practitioner in this area could deprive him or herself of the expertise displayed by the writers of these chapters… Lewis and Taylor may not be a book for a philosopher of sporting ethics, but for those whose focus is on the arena, not the ivory tower, it has everything to offer. * International Sports Law Review *Lewis & Taylor’s 4th edition of Sport: Law & Practice is not the word of God: it is indeed “merely” the assembling of keen insights and in-depth reference materials from an all-star cast of quite brilliant humans. But if not scripture, it is the most authoritative commentary on sports law in the English-speaking world. I would not dream of writing about a matter of European or British sports law without consulting it. In addition to updating cases, the new edition provides sharper analyses (sometimes provocative) that justify its acquisition for users of earlier editions and those entering the specialization today. * Professor Stephen F.

Book SynopsisOlympic Laws: Culture, Values, Tensions is the first book to analyse fully the Olympic legal framework and its application to the IOC and the Olympic Games through a socio-legal lens. It opens up a new window into understanding the Olympic Games across recent iterations of the Games and on to future Games.The book begins by defining the parameters of the emergent legal sub-fields of Sports Law, lex Olympica and Olympic Law, through the identification of the sources of these Olympic Laws and their underpinning norms. It then uses a series of case studies to demonstrate how lex Olympica has evolved as a means of defending the Olympic Movement from unwanted legal interventions, how Olympic Law has been created to protect the commercial rights vested in the Games, and how the legacies created by this unique category of law have a lasting impact on host cities and beyond. It concludes with a call that the IOC should recalibrate its relationships with prospective hoTable of Contents1. The Olympics: Culture, Values, Tension 2.

Book SynopsisIn this first legal analysis of Title IX, Deborah L. Brake assesses the statute's successes and failures, using a feminist theory lens to understand, defend, and critique the law. While the statute has created tremendous gains for female athletes, not only raising the visibility and cultural acceptance of women in sports, but also creating social bonds forwomen, positive body images, and leadership roles, the disparities in funding between men's and women's sports haveremained remarkably resilient. At the same time, female athletescontinue to receive less prestige and support than their male counterparts, which in turn filters into the arena of professional sports. Brake provides a richer understanding and appreciation of what Title IX has accomplished, while taking a critical look at the places where the law has fallen short.A unique contribution to the literature on Title IX, Getting in the Game fully explores the theory, policy choices, and successes and lTrade ReviewBrake provides an adept, comprehensive analysis of the legislation, the disagreements generated by its enactment and enforcement, and its related litigation. Her critical commentary also offers an equitable perspective on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the legal and policy environment that surrounds title IX. * Choice Magazine *In this text, Brake provides a detailed discussion of Title IX's legal requirements, describes the various feminist theories that underlie its provisions, and suggests concrete ideas for adjusting the law to better achieve its goal of gender equality . . . Well-written and well-supported, Getting in the Game offers a unique analysis of Title IX and athletics. -- Emily Lawson * Law Library Journal *Getting in the Game is must reading for those seeking to understand both the monumental success of Title IX and the dilemmas and barriers that impeded achievement of its full promise. There is no better treatment of the subject of womens sportswhy it matters, what Title IX now requires, and how the law might be improved. This book will change the way we think about equality in womens sports, and help us to think more rigorously and creatively about how to achieve it. -- Katharine T. Bartlett,Duke University School of LawGetting in the Game offers clearheaded demystification of the debates over gender equity in the U.S. school and college sports. Without falling into the role of uncritical cheerleader, Deborah Brake shows how the successes of Title IX result from its pragmatic knitting-together of various strands of feminist legal theory. The result is a body of law sturdy enough to press effectively for equal opportunity, but flexible enough to allow for the nuances of difference. Whether ones concern is with inferior sport facilities for high school girls, cutbacks to certain college mens sports, or women athletes and pregnancy, Getting in the Game is a must-read. -- Michael A. Messner,author of It’s All for the Kids: Gender, Families, and Youth SportsGetting in the Game provides a masterful overview of what it would take to really level the playing field for women in sports. This book is indispensable reading for anyone who cares about gender equity in athletics. -- Deborah L. Rhode,author of Speaking of Sex: The Denial of Gender InequalityAn interesting, exciting project that offers fresh perspectives on an area of the law that is generally misunderstood . . . fascinating and well done. -- Ann C.

Book SynopsisThis book examines labour regulation and labour mobility in two professional baseball leagues: Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in Japan. Through vivid comparative study, Matt Nichol explores how each league internally regulates labour mobility and how this internal regulation engages with external regulation from the legislature, statutory authorities and the courts. This comparison of two highly restrictive labour markets utilizes regulatory theory and labour regulation and suggests a framework for a global player transfer system in baseball.Each system of labour regulation can be viewed as an autopoietic system of law that utilizes voluntary self-regulation as the basis for regulation. While the regulatory systems in each league govern labour mobility in a similar manner using labour controls such as the draft, the reserve system and free agency, the two systems operate differently in terms of the level of labour mobility enjoyed by players. Formal rules, informal rules and normative practice result in MLB having relatively high levels of labour mobility for free agent players while similar players enjoy limited mobility in NPB.The book's engaging, multifaceted focus and comparative nature make it an excellent resource for lawyers, academics and advanced students interested in labour law, sports law, and Asian and European law.Trade Review‘Nichol has written a fascinating account of labour mobility in baseball whilst dissecting theories underpinning the regulation of employment in the sport and building a case for a global player transfer system.’ -- Stacey Steele, Australian Journal of Asian Law‘The confronting assertion that baseball labour is commodified has not been weakened by the MLB’s efforts to restart the season during the pandemic, making Matt Nichol's scholarly examination of “labour regulation and labour mobility in professional baseball’s two elite leagues” both timely and important.’ -- Micah Burch, Zeitschrift für Japanisches RechtTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisFootball has an integrity problem.Whether it is the reckless behaviour of players on or off the pitch, television commentators bad-mouthing decisions during the game, or corrupt governance of the sport, football has a tarnished reputation. Big money means big public interest and an even bigger responsibility to make it a sport that is inclusive, professional and, at the very least, law-abiding.Dan Hough puts the game under scrutiny to find out why football has become the benchmark for bad behaviour in sport. He examines the role of players, governing bodies, managers and owners, referees, pundits and fans to show how they have all contributed to the game?s failings and how all have a part to play in improving its integrity.Football matters and because it matters it needs fixing.

Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.Stephen F. Ross presents this succinct introduction to key topics of law specific to sports, comparing approaches to sports law across the globe, with particular focus on the United States, Europe, and common law jurisdictions.

Book SynopsisSports law has been growing with increasing rapidity over the years since the first edition of this book was published in 1999, regularly making headlines as well as leading to a developing body of law practised by specialist lawyers. This revised work, by leading practitioners in the field, with a foreword by Lord Coe, provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law in this area, as well as a deep analysis of its key features. The subject is split into various areas of practice: first, regulatory rules, which embrace the constitutional aspect of organised sport, including the disciplinary procedures of the various governing organisations; second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players; and third, player's rights and obligations, which embraces a wide range of legal issues including club transfers and player contracts, and issues arising from employment (including discrimination law), personal injury and criminal law. Special attention is paid to the impact of EU and Human Rights law as well as to the influential jurisprudence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. London 2012 provides an appropriate point at which to assess the current state of the law, as well as a look to the future. The target readership extends from solicitors, barristers and legal advisers, to sports organisations and clubs, corporations involved in marketing and sponsorship, media companies, academics teaching sports law, and sports administrators. “I commend it to everyone who has to administer sport as well as to those who have to advise the administrators or argue cases in the field on whatever side. It is a gold medal book.” From the Foreword by Lord Coe KBE This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Sports Law online service.Trade Review…this edition is hugely well researched, equally well written and provides a holistic approach to the wide-ranging elements that comprise an ever-increasing and ever more popular specialist area of the law…What sets this publication apart from its competitors is the very essence that the reader is benefiting from the duality both of the collective knowledge and hands-on experience of the authorship in all aspects. A considered group opinion is thus put forward and is notably refreshing in the process…It is thoroughly enriched by being logical, intuitive, engagingly written and, above all, insightful…Practitioners, academics and sports administrators alike, cannot fail to be impressed and now everyone concerned in sports law has at their fingertips a handbook they can treat as a working bible. We cannot commend it highly enough. -- Mel Goldberg * International Sports Law Review, Issue 4 *Any lawyer interested in the field of sports law should have the Second Edition of Sports Law to hand; its lucid, comprehensive yet concise exposition of the relevant jurisprudence is as invigorating as a cold blast of fresh air in a sweaty workout. It reads like a good opinion, in which the author has mastered his subject and speaks authoritatively, with the answer and reasoning set out clearly and understood...Sports Law is written with intellectual rigour combined with a zest for the subject matter. The four authors bring a diversity of juridical backgrounds that instils a breath of vision into the analysis. If you are a busy practitioner looking for the "answer" to a sports law problem, this is the textbook; if you are an academic searching for some underlying principles and theories, there is plenty for you too. -- Tim Lord QC * Counsel Magazine *One of the many strengths of this book is its concision and good English. It is well bound, clearly and comprehensively footnoted and with full case indices at the beginning. It is easy to read and at £95 a bargain. Any law firm or sports organisation which has sports legal issues arising from time to time would find this book a very useful addition to library shelves. The authors have struck a lovely balance between in-depth knowledgeable commentary but presented in a way the busy lawyer can understand. It will be my first port of call from now on for any sports law question. -- Susan Singleton * IT Law Today *We have now reached the stage where sports law has assumed considerable importance in the many different ways in which it is addressed in this book. And in a country like ours, which is deeply committed to many different sports for entertainment, for personal satisfaction, for fitness, and for livelihoods and international representation, justice in the world of sports is of great importance, for some indeed of overwhelming importance. They, and all those responsible for every sport need to know where they stand, where they might go wrong, and where they need to think before they make their decisions. This book tells them everything they need to know. -- The Rt. Hon. The Lord Judge, Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales,Review from the First Edition …this book clearly and accessibly opens up a range of issues which should be of interest to anyone, lawyers or otherwise, who has an interest in the position of sport within an increasingly globalising economy. -- Raymond Boyle * Tottel's Communications Law *Review from the First Edition …the skill of the authors is such that there may well now be a specialist sub-topic, the law of the replica football shirtThis collection of interesting and informative papers will help sports law to find a coherence of its own and it is to be commended. -- Robert Shields * Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *Table of Contents1.
