This alternate year course will examine principles of contract, antitrust and labor law within the context of the major U.S. professional sports leagues; the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball. Specifically, the course will focus on the practical application of these legal principles to current and past "Owner-Player" economic disputes in the professional sports industry. The course will involve a combination of lectures, class discussion, "current events" analysis and an oral report on a pro sports legal topic of the student's choice.
