Demonstrate an appreciation of issues in sports law. From any of this calendar year's
issues of Sports Litigation Alert, select THREE articles that discuss a court’s decision of a recent lawsuit.
One article MUST relate to professional sports, one article MUST relate to intercollegiate/Olympic/amateur
sports and the third article MUST relate to stadium/arena/facility management.
(1) Explain the parties involved, the court, specifying civil/criminal, state/federal and the name of the specific
the court, providing the legal issue involved and the court’s decision;
(2) Analyze the decision’s place in the governance of professional athletics for the first article,
intercollegiate/Olympic/amateur sports for the second article, and stadium/arena/facility management for the
third article;
(3) Explain -- and supporting with well-reasoned arguments – widely-held concepts of justice, such as those
held through natural law or Judeo-Christian law that we have discussed in class; and
(4) Last, put it all together – as we simplify in class, answering the question: “In today’s world, is the decision
of court fair?” Do this by (a) connecting your own concept of personal justice to how it impacts your view of the
the court decision, and (b) connecting and applying your view of civil discourse to the real-world setting of the
communities of diverse legal perspectives, all synthesizing them together to provide your own perspective and
theory on social justice in this modern, 21st-century legal world.
The report must be between 500-750 words and is to be submitted in typed, double-spaced form.
