Topics in Sports Law

1 unit

This course will use both case law and current events to introduce you to the legal foundations of each context in which athletes engage in sports: interscholastic, intercollegiate, Olympic, and professional. In doing so, this course will also examine sports structures through a critical lens by considering social justice issues-such as racial and gender equity, economic inequality, and participation rights for persons with disabilities-that are raised by our current sports structures. Grades will be based on a final paper.
