Global Sports Law

The global sports model operates quite differently than what Americans are used to.  “Major” sports are typically open sports leagues at the top of a pyramid or national representative teams; sports is largely governed by non-profit national governing board, not club owners.  Many of the issues confronting global sports law, however, have important lessons for American sports law.

This special topics course will be taught remotely (please confirm you comply with ABA and immigration requirements to take this course), which will consist of two hours per week of live interaction with leading sports lawyers and officials around the globe, and one hour of asynchronous interaction (via Canvas) with your classmates and me on the relevant issues.  Assessment will be based on your participation in on-line class discussions and a take-home final exam that will be due on the last day of exams.
