About this title

Review

Endorsement of 2nd Edition: 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, November 2012

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 of the 2nd Edition by Lord Coe KBE

Reviews of 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

"...the skill of the authors is such that there may well now be a specialist sub-topic, the law of the replica football shirt. This 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

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
