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 new subject and drawing examples from a wide range of professional and amateur sports to illustrate the important current debates and topics of interest. Of particular relevance, in the run up to 2012, is a chapter dedicated to the Olympic Games.

Media Reviews
'This is the strongest sports law textbook I have seen.' -- Professor Richard Parrish, Centre for Sports Law Research, Edge Hill University, UK Innovative, authoritative and accessible, Mark James' book is a welcome contribution to the burgeoning literature on sports law. 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. Dr David McArdle, Stirling Law School 'An excellent comprehensive text covering areas relevant to our module. 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 'This book provides a well written introduction for readers who are meeting Sports Law for the first time yet additionally he provides an updated view of the current law for those more familiar with this subject. The materials are appropriately referenced throughout the text, therefore negating excessive use of footnotes or lengthy indexing. Importantly, and unusually for law texts, this book is relatively inexpensive, therefore providing another incentive for purchase. In the context of this review one expects that the shelves of university libraries and private sports law practitioners will soon contain copies of this excellent text.' - David Dovey LLM, British Association of Sport and Law Journal
